Okay, so 1972-73 was a rough year,
but cut me some slack, I was playing for three teams!
David McClelland moved to
I don’t remember this period of my life at all. It
must be true what they say, that
David McClelland
pioneered workplace motivational thinking, developing achievement-based motivational
theory and models, and promoted improvements in employee assessment methods,
advocating competency-based assessments and tests, arguing them to be better
than traditional IQ and personality-based tests.
And yet I
can barely find the “motivation” to get out of bed in the morning. Do as I say,
not as I do, right?
One of the most recognized voices in drag racing
belongs to Dave McClelland, most commonly known as “The voice of NHRA”, who for
over 40 years has been one of the premier race announcers at the track, on
radio and on TV. However, Dave is not just an announcer,
he is also an enthusiast.
I woke up in a cold sweat, wondering what I was
doing with my life. All I could hear was the deafening echo of my own voice
from a loudspeaker, crying, “start yer’ ‘enjuns, now, ya hear?” and I felt
I was suffocating in a cloud of vaporized rubber and engine exhaust. My alarm
clock was playing Alan Jackson, whose bemoaning strains of lost love seemed to jab
at my ears like a rusty pitchfork. So I picked up a monkey wrench next to my
bed and put an end to that. I stumbled into the bathroom, where I frantically
shaved off my mullet, which filled the toilet like so much waste—the excrement
of what I consumed in so many long years of rodeos, line-dances, and
barn-raisings. I put on my best shirt and tie and leather vest, then decided to
burn the vest (after taking it off) and marched into the office of the NHRA
commissioner, who, I told, would have to find another lackey to shout clever
turns of phrase to all the groveling, smelly masses. Then he grinned a beaming,
toothless grin, and in such a grandfatherly way, outstretched his arms and
pleaded “Dave, there’s no need to get in a tussle. You were never an announcer.
This is all just a silly dream.” He then pinched me on the cheek and suddenly I
woke up in a cold sweat, wondering what I was doing with my life…

the
Imagine my surprise when
I read this last one! As soon as I got my wits back, I immediately called up the
Grace Free-Presbyterian Church and asked them if their church was really
grace-free <chuckle> then I cleared up the whole name issue, explaining
that I was not the David McClelland that had petitioned to start another
congregation in New Hampshire, that I was a Latter-day Saint, and that I didn’t
even like New Hampshire that much. “It’s just so cold up there,” I explained.
They agreed that it was cold, and thanked me for my concern over the name
mix-up, and promised to fix it by changing the Pastor’s legal name to Lucious Malone. “Boy will he be surprised,” they said with
a chuckle.
