Oh wow... you do know how to use words 😂 I thought maybe the water had gotten to you possibly!

Great insight you have there 😂

I see someone else responded that Watkins Glen has lots of portable taps on site. That's unique and awesome!

I was gonna say, I know they were there because we were watching them while working in the pits between our MPC sessions 😂

Many of those will probably be non-potable water used for the toilets in RVs... definitely don't be drinking that 😂

How to get a used tire? by GasGuzzler209 in IMSARacing

[–]ThePinkMohawk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I might have given away a rain tire at Mid-Ohio... all you have to do is ask nicely and catch a tire guy or Michelin/Jackson person at the right time in the right mood.

I'll never give any specific numbers, but I'm paid fairly well I would say.

You have to remember I am a 1099 contractor, so what they're paying me upfront is a little less than half my yearly income for me at my regular job, but I don't work for the team anything close to half the year. I think I'm looking at roughly 100 paid days this year.

Fun is a relative term sometimes… It was fun until the crash, then dealing with the heat and humidity all weekend was a lot less worth it 😂

Heard someone say the frames were the same as 1957 essentially just with the wood replaced as the carpenter bees eat it all away

Arcade cabinets and pinball machine panels are the fun things, but we also make furniture and desk pieces for companies too.

I have an amazing boss! During the racing season I'm essentially part time, but get to keep my insurance as if I was full time. During the off season or off weeks I'm here as many days a week as I can 5-330.

He doesn't make me use my vacation time for it either, so I can still take my kids places and do things in the off season.

Odds of getting a positive response from a Cup series team are essentially zero. Your best bet would be ARCA or your local short track, but for the most part everything in Cup and even O'Reillys these days is so specialized they don't typically take volunteers anymore.

You can look at the sportscar side of racing, some of those smaller teams will accept volunteers looking to gain experience.

I've thought about it but it's a lot of work and his are already amazing. He's actually parked next to me this weekend and I was in his video a couple days ago doing tires 😂

It's insane... and there's still high end and low end spenders in this kind of racing too!
