This thread is an offer to those who are available Oct 24th through October 27th.

To qualify to be a crew member you must meet the following requirements.
· Be at least 18 years old.
· A current member of the SCCA, or able to become a member by paying the SCCA fee.
· Have decent mechanical ability. Minimum ability of swapping wheels and suspension. Able to change a header or exhaust. Possible electrical knowledge.
· Have a good knowledge of Hondas
· No medical ailments that would prevent you from performing your best.
· Provide your own transportation to an from Virginia International Raceway each day of the event.
· Provide your own accommodations for the event. I will notify you as to the hotel we are staying at.
· Are not addicted to any drugs other than racing.

Who is this for?
This is to become a crew member for ProMotion Motorsports. ProMotion’s Driver is Blake Fuller. We will be using a 1992-1995 Honda Civic Hatchback with a Type R motor installed. This is the same vehicle used to win the Pikes Peak Hill Climb this year and we have raced it in years past. See picture below,

Why do I need Help?
Simple. This is a last minute race for us. I was planning on racing this event all year. As some of you may know Honda is Extremely back-ordered on parts. As such, I did not expect to have the parts ready to compete. However, another racer is generously helping out. And I am getting to compete in my first World Challenge Race! But all my friends(crew) are already obligated to other matters….so you get the chance to come help and hang out!

What will be required of you? I am viewing this event as a very expensive track day. It is not my goal to win, only to finish. I will be arriving with the vehicle 98% ready to compete. However, if something should break during practice, qualifying or the race, having extra hands around would give us a better chance at finishing.

What’s in it for you?
· You get to enter into the pit area at the race and be part of the team.
· Experience
· Lots of Fun!!!
· I am sure there is other items, you’ll just have to come and find out!


Additional information:

This offer will be limited to the 8 most qualified individuals who wish to help out. I will require that those who assist, display themselves in a professional manner while on track or in the pits. As mentioned I need 8 people. That doesn’t mean that you and a couple friends who meet the requirements can’t all come.
While I listed the dates, if you can make it for Sat and Sunday only please notify me, so that I can put you on a back-up list.

Does it cost anything? Yes, I will need those who are coming to cover the cost of the SCCA credential. While I would love to cover this for you, I am unable to do so. When our team is not racing, if there is no work to do, you are free to do as you wish. And you’ll have the best seats in the house.

How do you find out more?

PS sorry I won't have my type R with me at the event I am having to borrow small parts off it to make the civic ready for the race. Parts like the motor! But I attached a photo of the R anyway.

PSS I will be out of town the next few days, but I will be answering emails on my phone. So if it a brief reply that is the reason, I am sending the reply from my phone.

PSSS If you or any company you know off wishes to sponsor the vehicle for the event we would be happy to work with you. I can send a formal proposal and additional information, as necessary.

Here is the Civic:


And the Type R:

What about Sunday only?

 

Pretty cool

 

Wow, looks like a great oportunity for some of our budding racers!

 

email me you info and I'll look it over. Also let me know when you'll need an answer by to attend.

 

8 people is probably too many.. that is, if you car is prepared at all.

2 to help out, 6 to finish the keg?

D

 

Pretty much, hey if we finish, why not!

 

Although if I hit a wall, I'll need a lot of hammers to get her straight! But if I don;t then hey, really cool tickets for the crew!

 

To hit a wall at VIR (N/S/F) you have to have done something st00pid or had a mechanical failure.

If needed... I will bring the BFH and a rubber mallet.

 

Blake: If I felt like driving to VIR for some of those days I'd be there. But, I don't feel like driving up there Plus I could only go on the weekend, gotta finish a huge project @ work before the end of the month.

 

Yeah I know, but maybe we'll get some orange paint on the car. haha that's a joke! If you get it. Oh and I have to thank Dave for the BFH idea... it's almost patentable.
Oh and even if you can;t help come on out I'd love to meet all of you.

 

wow..sounds exciting...good luck!

if only you were a few thousand miles closer!

p.s. kick some ***!

 

Good Luck on race day!!

 

Blake: I really will upload the videos and pics somewhere soon. I've been lazy. perhaps I'll upload some tonight.. we'll see.

 

Yeah...

Jason

 

Well, those requirements alone rule out 85% of the ITR forum.

 

I was thinking the same thing......

 

LOL!
Surely its not that bad!

 

........good luck at race, hope to be at the race!

 

One day left.... email me if you are interested!

 

I found out I need something to compete... But I will make it happen...however, I may need some more help!
