I told a couple young bucks I work with about it. Both Chrysler contractors....one has been 9s before, the other has been in a 10 second car before but only on the street. The second guy's eyes got real big when I brought it up, he said he wondered if it could be slowed down a bit to start with....I told him to come out and talk to you about it. They're both east siders also which might help.

Mind if I bring a few more dogs to put on the grill? I probably won't be hanging around for eliminations but will have the gf and her two boys there, they will want to eat too.




Bring the dogs.... have the guy come on out so we
can talk..... I can slow it to 11 second if he wants

He said he'd try to make it, it should be interesting to see what happens.

I'm in Farmington Hills most of the time these days, but started in Center Line in '05 and worked there until last summer.

The whole setup is pretty unusual (I actually work out of two locations, depending on what I'm supposed to be doing).

Don't mean to be too mysterious, but it'd really suck if somebody got their panties in a wad so I'll avoid that by talking with ya at the track

Good luck with the driver search Mike.

I've had other people drive my junk a few times and it was even more fun than driving myself.

I am baffled that it would be difficult to find a pilot.
Finding a good one is another animal all together , but I'd think you would need to keep a squeegee handy to periodically sweep the drool away from the perspective drivers.
You are providing a dream for a lot of guys.
For nearly ten years , my motto was " I build it , she breaks it " .......... my better half did the driving and was very good at it.
I did some laps , but she was the driver because she flat killed the tree.
And I enjoyed every second of it.
There is a tremendous amount of satisfaction in building and maintaining a good working race car for me.
Good luck in your search Mike .......... With out knowing you personally , I have to go with my gut.
And it tells me that you bring a lot to the table and are a real asset to the sport.
We need more guys like you involved.
Somewhere out there is a young person with shallow pockets a love of the game that matches your own.
And I hope you find each other.

Thanks... I enjoy working on it and over the last couple
of years its been getting harder for me to do the
crew work and then driving due to the fact that I
am usually by my self... fortunately my car doesnt
require much attention between rounds... fuel every
other round... no charging and very seldom do I even
pull the hood off... when my wife came with me I would
have her do certain things and 1 was video every pass,
well that was dropped when she quit coming(not that
she doesnt like the racing but she has her own hobbies)
but if I find a driver I will go back to videoing
every pass and down loading the data logger

hi mr. p, i hope you find a driver 'cause that sounds like a dream come true for some young buck and i would hate to see you sell your car. you are obviously very knowledgeable about racing and i think this hobby needs people like you. you have helped me lots on here . if i lived close i'd give it a go, good luck.
