Author Message   Rodrob Posted on Monday, April 30, 2012 - 02:17 pm:        OK, so we are going to give it another, hopefully not last shot. My biggest problem at the moment, is pit crew for Thursday and Friday. Thursday is setup, so no real experience required. Just lugging. Friday is Practice and Qualifying, so it is very important to have a smooth running operation so Shawn can focus. The challenge is that in order to be in the hot pit, you have to have a crew pass, which requires current AMA Pro Racing membership. I can spring for the Crew Pass, which can be shared from day to day, but not the membership which requires photo id. Slaughter will be there Sat and Sunday and there are a couple of other volunteers for those days waiting in the wings. Boogiman1981 has offered to fly out from FLA on his own dime if I cover other expenses (thanks Brice, you are truly the MAN!) But... I am really strapped, so if I can do this locally, I need to. So... if anybody as above, has a membership, or would spring for their own, and can be at the track either Thursday, Friday, (Saturday or Sunday or all would be cool too), and would be willing to crew, please let me know now. Thanks!   Boogiman1981 Posted on Monday, April 30, 2012 - 02:32 pm:        for that matter if anyone in the area has a couch i can grab? or similar i'm good. i can't say i don't take up much space as i am a pretty tall fella but you get the idea! just want to see this through.   Rodrob Posted on Monday, April 30, 2012 - 05:26 pm:        Can anyone pick up Boogiman1981 at SAC airport on thursday and transport him to the track by noon?   Slaughter Posted on Monday, April 30, 2012 - 10:43 pm:        I sent Fireman a note to see if he has a couch or soft spot on his shop floor. Sunny and I can throw him into our room (I snore and fart but other than that, it'll be quiet) We're motelling Fri and Sat nites. I can cover his car rental if needed. It'll be good for the team.   Boogiman1981 Posted on Monday, April 30, 2012 - 10:56 pm:        Wheels would be stupendous. I doubt they'd let me check my 1125. Slaughter is there. An airport that works better for you than smf?   Boogiman1981 Posted on Monday, April 30, 2012 - 11:13 pm:        Best I can do flight wise is showing up wed night 1130p-1230a in sfo oak or smf. Then flight back I am looking at leaving 1155p on Sunday. Would be happy with dry and no rats past that I'm not to picky.   Rodrob Posted on Tuesday, May 01, 2012 - 01:01 am:        If you get in late Wed night, I can pick u up at airport. I can take you back Sun night. I think Sacramento is best. Oakland second.   Boogiman1981 Posted on Tuesday, May 01, 2012 - 05:18 am:        Kk   Boogiman1981 Posted on Tuesday, May 01, 2012 - 07:23 am:        otay will be in smf at 1130pm wed night. flying delta   Smoke4ndmears Posted on Tuesday, May 01, 2012 - 09:14 am:        You guys are studs.

Sunny and I will be out Friday PM   Boogiman1981 Posted on Tuesday, May 01, 2012 - 01:11 pm:        thanks a million. anybody have a spot wed night stupid late and thursday night?   Firemanjim Posted on Tuesday, May 01, 2012 - 06:15 pm:        Did you see my post about couch? 707 548-7906   Boogiman1981 Posted on Tuesday, May 01, 2012 - 08:19 pm:        I think I posted that before I saw the other post   Bigblock Posted on Tuesday, May 01, 2012 - 10:03 pm:        Rob, as per our emails, I am willing to get the membership, and show when you need me, but I was very busy today and unable to call in to AMA in time, the website wasn't clear. I will call AMA in the AM, hopefully I can get it done and have the I.D. in time, unless you have a better way...   Slaughter Posted on Tuesday, May 01, 2012 - 10:09 pm:        Sounds like ground transport is good-to-go. Going to be a great weekend. Just sorry I can't get my ass UP before Saturday. DANG this new job.   Rodrob Posted on Tuesday, May 01, 2012 - 10:10 pm:        It can all be done there. No worries   Bigblock Posted on Tuesday, May 01, 2012 - 10:55 pm:        OK, great! Let me know when you need me ( I am available thurs through sunday if necessary) and how I get in the gate, etc... Hope you got my cell# in the email.
