I grew up playing with Hot Wheels, helping my dad wrench on cars, and drove a small block 350 Nova in High School. I've owned high performance street and track cars all my life. I can rebuild a Webber carb and jet it for your application.
I have spent countless hours reading books on auto racing and vehicle design. I've probably spent as many hours watching shows on Speedvision and Velocity Channels.
I have more than 25 years of experience in the Toy Industry. I can design parts, I know costs, and I know production methods.
I do not consider myself to be qualified to lead the HW Design Group.
Somehow our Upper Management has decided that a couple of Bronies who probably never played with HW should lead this cornerstone of our business?
WTF?
