I need someone to drive service truck to services and set up/break down. Willingness to check/change tires and clean glass is much appreciated. Some knowledge of rally is helpful. I offer a open cooler policy! If its in there it's yours if you want it.
Running a G2 regional entry.
Please PM if able to help or know someone.
Thanks,
Bryan

Matt,
How about we share the beers after WE race? The Neon is still on the mend so I will be renting a SISU saturn for this race. Not sure how I will get along with it, but better than not sliding through the forest right? Look forward to seeing you there and having a blast!

UPDATE* cooler will be filled with crews choice!

I highly recomend "servicing" for Bryan. It includes parking the truck and wandering around. He ran EXTREAMLY clean at LSPR last year. I think Dave and I had to change one tire with a bulge and scrape wheel wells once, I'm still convinced that's because Bryan didn't think we were doing enough.... especially since we watched some stages Friday night and got back to L'anse service late making Bryan have to refuel himself.

I'll do if I can't find a ride.

Wait, hold up.

We are going about this all wrong.

Instead of "needing someone", you are "willing to accept applications".

And change "willingness to check/change tires" to "strive to succeed in the fast paced, high flying world of rally car service, as seen recently on ESPN!"

Fishbowls will be ours.

Matt, let me try this again.


"As an entry level Rally Mechanic, Bryan helped usher me into the exciting world of Stage Rally Servicing. I was provided with excelent leadership, hands on learning, and tools that helped me accomplish the goal of servicing for a top notch regional competitor. Rally isn't just a Driver and Navigator, but crew as well, and Bryan understands this. I would highly recomend taking Bryan up on this tremendous oportunity to learn the skills of a true member of a diverse Rally T.E.A.M., and always remember, Together Everyone Achieves More."

And how much is the tuition for this great training? :)

Well, luckely I was granted the "Holder Scholorship", so he knocked $2000.00 off the base rate. The I just needed to put $1000.00 down, and get a Pell Grant for the remaining $7500.00. I tell you what though, the co-eds sure made it worth it!

Hey Ben,
Remember when you graduated from my training and I arranged for those 8 cheerleaders from MI St. to help you celebrate after I picked up your post race bar tab? Gee....what memories. Wish I had another prize student like you!
Bryan

P.S. Would someone please freaking help me?

Matt said you could use a little help, and released me from indentured servitude... One service vehicle driver/tire changer at your service for LSPR.

I can drive a tow rig, can learn, follow directions, clean windshields, check fluids, attach lights, tighten/torque bolts and change tires (at least that what is says on my rally resume - your mileage may vary).

Send me a PM with contact info and we can work out the details.

Bryan,

As soon as I get back up to Mich Tech (next week) I'll spread the word around. Among the Four Wheelers, Sledheads, Baja Team, and Import Tuners there are plenty of guys looking for a 'behind-the-scenes' job at the rally...Superior is an official holiday at Rally U.

Thanks Heath! Looks like I have 1 set of hands, with Scott, but another set is always welcome and often needed.

Bryan,

Well, our "upstairs neighbor" at the hotel didn't seem to want to hang out.... so the cheerleaders made a great subsitute. Thanks ;)

Since it looks like you're set for crew, I'll have to co-drive and show you and Tracy what a fast team looks like.

Good thing you specified. I've had plenty of navvies, speccies, and drivers g/fs saying mostly the same thing, minus specifying if it was a car or not.

Should you run into problems should it be with cheerleaders or the car. I plus maybe some others will be up there with Bruce and the Neon.
