LSPR is a month away, and I am still lacking a Co-Driver. Anyone interested?

All you really need is to find/rent a race suit, helmet, and HANS device, buy a license and get yourself to Houghton MI, October 13-15.

cmon Greg, I know you want a ride in the scary seat.

I wonder if he would be interested? He could even hitch a ride up here with Cale.

Dude, I'd love to, but I have barely any vacation left. Also, I don't have a HANS or race suit or license. With more notice, I'd be all over it. It's just coming up way too quickly for me to get that stuff together.

How much is a 2 day license? Where can I rent a suit?

I might be interested... I all ready have the time off work and it had nothing to do with me... I don't want to speak too soon, but this could be quite a coincidence.

What seat do you have on the right side? I'm 6' 250#

Both seats are sparco EVO 2s.

i will have to check on license fee. for pilot its $150, but i think co-driver may be less. as for suit/hans/helmet. either borrow from someone local, or get on specialstage.com and go to some of the sponsor websites.

if not you should at least come hang out.

Ok, I checked, license cost would be $125.

Dexter, as for fitting in the seats, I am 6' 2" and 220 lbs and I fit easily. Cale is slightly wider than myself, and he fits without any issue.

I've got a widebody kit. Sparco Evo's fit well.

Anyways, I'll see what I can find. I have a local race shop I can check with. Maybe I can work something out... Told my wife about it and she didn't say yes, but she didn't say no either.

What's the registration deadline?

I am already registered, and I should be paying up tomorrow. I just left the Co-Driver field TBA. As long as someone shows up in time for registration and practice stage, I am all good.

I dont have any other serious offers right now, so you and Cale can monkey knife fight for it. :chuckle:

Keep me posted.

Do you know the specs off-hand for the safety equipment? If I can find all the gear to meet specs, I might be good to go.

In the mean time, I'll see if I can get the rulebook downloaded and I should be able to find the specs fairly easily. I used to have them all in a spreadsheet when I was putting together a budget, but the jump drive got screwed up and I lost everything.

Nevermind, I just downloaded all the rules. I've read through the rulebook the last few years. If I might as well freshen up with the newest edition anyway.

I'm going to probably hit the local race shop today and see if they'd like to sponsor a co-driver...

Good deal.

Keep your eyes/ears peeled for a second HANS device. I am still looking for one for myself to rent/borrow.

GOOD DEAL.

Just got word that NOS Energy Drink will be coming back as a sponsor for LSPR.

Everyone should swing over to the Rally 240SX's service area for some free NOS, and pictures with our crabby crew chief. (sorry the models are busy)
