Performance Test Driver Job Options

[Ojustracing]

Hey

I don't know if anybody qualifies for this but I thought I would pass this along. This job was closed they reopened it due to someone declining the position. My resume got lost in the shuffle so I'm trying again. Goodluck

Go to Goodyear.com and Careers, go under RD in TX.

This job sounds like fun. Sadly I screwed up and my engineering degree is not mechanical, but hopefully FSAE experience will make me look good. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif)
