Looking for Car Crew

[jonx96]

I will say always helps to have a someone watching the burn out and watch the car go down the track. There’s been many times I have wondered how my burn out was.
I watched my cousin for years from the side. Never took it serious. I went to an event with @vortecd a few weeks ago and could tell him if he had burnout troubles or if something didn’t seem right. He has done it for me many times as well.
I can see the need for wanting to make sure you have someone at the track with you.
the level of professionalism may be the problem. You could def find a younger kid. 20ish. To travel around with you. They may just enjoy racing. But don’t expect anything professional.
Id enjoyed that before I got married and when I still lived at home. But I can tell you I’ve even learned a lot since I was 18 to 20

Everyone needs someone else with them. Racers do look out for other Racers but getting a video of the burnout, etc. always helps.

One of my friends that has an 8 second Mustang likes to have all of his runs on video so he can see what is going on

@vortecd it probably takes me 20 to 30 minutes to swap over the car, but you northern guys have it easy It's usually almost 90 degrees and I need a change of clothes after I'm done LOL. I'm a bit OCD and clean the wheel wells and apply some wax or other product on them while the tires are off so that does take a bit more time, plus cleaning out all the rubber before I put the street tires back on is another fun project

@DavidKFla I saw your trailer for sale and had to quickly close the thread LOL. I could definitely use that trailer but for me it would also mean buying a vehicle to tow with and renting space at a storage facility to store the trailer. Our HOA does not allow trailers :/

I have Crew Chief Greg video every single run possible. Video combined with a data log tell a very good story for setting up the car. Time well spent for sure.

Do you still do the clear, peelable, spray coating?

If you no longer want to drive to the track?? I have this for sale.

Nice. Hydraulic? If it had a shield I'd be thinking about it.

He told me that he misses the car.

I don’t think I said that but I am very satisfied that @vortecd is enjoying the car the way it should be! I knew it was pretty special when I got it but decided not to run it. Too much like work!

It has a beavertail. My Charger drives up very easily.

I guess that I misunderstood you then.

You are correct. I did say I’m missing it. I enjoyed owning a fast car like and always had a pretty hot one in the garage. I still have a nice car but just not that hot anymore!

I would encourage you to get over to Bradenton in March for the NMCA event and run the Hemi shootout. There was a pretty good crowd there this spring and you might find some help there, although that doesn't help you for the near term. I think just getting out to some events is good start. I am across the state in St Pete.

Sent a PM to you @DavidKFla

I'm trying to figure out a schedule for the upcoming year while I look for some help.
I'll be testing here shortly.
