Default Crew needed for Saturday at Mosport

Hey guys, I need a couple of people to help me out on Saturday at Mosport. I'll be running the Warbonnet 3hr enduro with davepk from California flying in to co-drive. During the race we'll have to make at least 2 pit stops to refuel (actual mileage TBD). Since it will just be the two of us and we'll both be fully suited up it's going to be very difficult for us to run around and do stuff during the race.

The rules require that anyone over the pit wall must have a complete driver fire suit and that there must be someone manning a fire extinguisher. That means one driver with the fire bottle and the other dumping fuel into the tank with "gerry" cans (no fuel rig). That leaves nobody to help should we need something behind the wall.

If you have full gear that would be fantastic (I'm not counting on it) but even if you don't your assistance would be invaluable in getting these pit stops done. If you would like to come and participate and be part of the crew for this exciting race weekend on the 15th and 16th please let me know.

It's going to be a hell of a good time and very exciting and I hope somebody is willing and able to come out and lend a hand.

Thanks

Help a brotha out!

I'd be there if I could. I was there on Monday while he was testing and it was a great way to spend a day

I would be willing to come out and help. No suit unfortunately. I'd just be an extra body with a couple of hands. But I'd be grateful for an opportunity to see life from the pits.
Let me know if you could use my help.

Excellent, glad to have you. PM me your full name, address and phone number and I'll put you on the crew list. We will be at the track starting Friday morning for testing and racing on Saturday and Sunday. If you can only make one of the days, Saturday is the one we need the most help with.

We are going to meet at the track Saturday morning at a rather early 7AM (I know, it's going to suck) at the registration building which is on the road just past the kart track (you'll see all the cars parked at the side). You'll need to meet us there to sign the waiver and get a wristband which will get you into the pit lane area. Our first practice session starts at 8:30 sharp (why wee need to be there early).

We'll try to take care of most of what needs to be done on Friday so we aren't too under the gun first thing.

The Saturday schedule will work something like this:

7:00: meet at registration building, get signed in
8:30: first 15 min practice session
8:15: tire change
9:00: second 15 min practice session
9:15: tire change
9:30: third 15 min practice session
9:45: tire change
10:15: 10 min touring car champ qualifying session
10:25: tire change
10:35: 10 min GT sprint qualifying
10:45: tire change
LUNCH
1:00: 20 min Enduro qualifying
1:40: 20 min GT Sprint race
2:00: tire change
2:20: 20 min touring car race
2:40: tire change
3:00: 3 hour Enduro race

It's going to be an action packed day!!

Please, anyone else want to come out and be part of the team we really need you!!

Wow, this is a great opportunity to "witness" some real action.

Would you want help from people who have no tron suits and no experience? I mean people who can roll around a tire and pour some gas.

Yes, certainly. Without a full driver suit you can't handle gasoline or work on the car during pit stops but you can certainly help a great deal in every other respect and there is plenty to do. I'd love to have you come out and be on the team. It will be a great experience. PM your info to me so I can put you on the crew list.
