After two weeks, he was offered a job at Gee's shop. Makar accepted the job, and moved from New Jersey to North Carolina.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Jimmy Makar Biography )〕 He continued to work at Gee's shop until he was offered a job as a mechanic from Harry Hyde in 1979. Two years later,〔 he was hired by Ron Benfield and Buddy Parrott.
