Help required

Pete · Post by **Pete** » Fri Jan 04, 08 1:13 pm

Hi there.

Looking towards the new race season for 2008 and starting to make plans.

I hope to get to the track much more and could possibly be campaigning 2 cars - my '69 Sox & Martin Baracuda, and Julie's '67 Dart gasser.

This is a bit of a toe in the water to see if anyone in the Herts/Cambs/Essex area (or indeed wider afield) would be prepared to help out at the track.

This is just general help really. I am not necessarily looking for any one with a great racing or tuning background. Indeed it may be an opportunity for us to learn together, so it may be a good introduction in to drag racing for somone who has not done it or participated to date.

Given that we may have 2 cars at the track, it makes the basic logistics quite hard; so any offers of help would be really appreciated, thanks.

Maybe there would be the opportinity for a drive as a "thank you".
However, whilst both cars are still road legal, they will be deep into the 10's and probably faster than that; so it will not be for the faint-hearted or totally inexperienced.

Many thanks and happy new year.

Pete & Julie.
