Casting Call for autox cars and drivers

Post by James Yom »

Hey guys, they are shooting a Tire Rack commercial in LA on Thursday, starring one of my S2000s hehe. They need autox cars and drivers to be in the background of the shoot. If you or anyone you know with an autox car (autox worthy car would also suffice), please let me know via this thread. The pay will be $100 for the car and $342 for the driver (afaik).

Thanks,
James

I might have jury duty (I have to call in tonight), but if not, I'd definitely do this! If they don't want my car, I'd be happy to drive.

The Mini would be perfectly fine for the commercial Kurt. Please let me know as soon as you can Kurt.

Folks, the shoot will be in Beverly Hills, and we need to get there at 5am. We don't need to do much driving, if any really. Just our cars and bodies will more than suffice. Sam Hubinette, the multi-time US drift champion will be doing the driving I believe.

I met Sam when I was part of a Mopar Performance outing with my SRT-4. He and his significant other were really cool, nice people. He totally knew what solo and pro solo were.

They were only nice to you because they're Swedes :D
