Someone please offer Aaron a co-drive for 2009, so he no longer has to embarrass himself by continually begging in every other thread.

He has an STU car now that the TT ban has been lifted.

Hey Aaron... I have a... oh crap, never mind.

Wat?

Max, you paid $10 for that Miata Photo you're now using as your avatar?

Maybe, but that wasn't the only photo I got. From the sequence, I concluded that my car rolls like a boat!

Anyway, I'm a sucker for a good photo!

Looks like you're a sucker for bad photos too! just kidding. I'm also a sucker-- I bought the photos from Nationals...

Back on topic, why doesn't Aaron want to co-Miata with you?

aaron's 6'4

edit: which, apparently, is a problem.

also, is max really going to auto-x the miata for the 09 season? or is that just a "for the time being" thing? i thought it's his daily driver.

There are maybe two permutations in which Max and I would Co-drive again next year, but in most of them he's either co-driving another car or his Miata. There's certainly no bad blood between us, Max is great to co-drive with.

Well, I thought it was going to be the new race car since Max sold the Subaru. I think Max is having seller's remorse though...

Max Hayter · Post by **Max Hayter** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 11:48 am

Max is having seller's remorse, but my bank account is rejoicing!!

I would totally have Aaron codrive my Miata in 09, but he claims he does not fit in it! Since it will be my only car for a while, that leaves us a little stuck as a codriving team!

With a bit of luck, I will be driving someone else's car for 09 and not my Miata.

If I don't get a ride for 09, then Plan C would have me buying another car around February/March and hoping that Aaron will codrive with me again.

Put it this way, I would rather race with Aaron codriving then ever race on my own again. Now, I never thought I would say that - I'm a pretty independent fellow!

Especially that really big guy get in and out of his mini at the national events.

Easy solution: Aaron, you buy a race seat for the car. Max, you swap it in for the events and put your stock one in between events. It takes about 5 minutes to change them.

Street tires help a lot, I got a whole season of autocross out of my 'Stones... But I've heard stories of getting at few as 16 runs on A6's before the cord!

I don't have that kind of scratch.

Not enough camber.

Figured I should throw up the Generic what does a codriver bring message since I should probably get something locked down in the next month. There are people I have been talking to, people I have talked to in the past and some people I just don't have good contact info for that didn't show up at the last event.

With everything on this list how much/many will be dependent on the car and the situation. We'll figure all that out before the season starts.

Lets see, what do i bring:

Everyone's favorite, Tires. I will buy sets of tires
Gas, I live half a mile from 100 octane pump and across the street from a place that sells 109.
Wear Items, (clutch, brakes, etc) yeah I can help with those.
I'll go to all the National Events you go to, unless it'll get me fired.
DL1, yeah I come with a Data System.
Chasecam Setup, yeah I come with a video system.
Setup Help, Suspension, etc. I'll not only help you make the car handle better, but i'll try and keep you from messing up a good thing. I own all my own alignment equipment.
Fabrication/Electrical, in the garage we have a Tig welder and more, and I happen to live in the same house and one of the best Race car/concept car wiring harness fabricators in the western US.
Trip, towing and hotel Costs can be split

Here's what i need from a car owner:

Potentially Nationally competitive car.
Willing to go to all the National events necessary to be competitive.
Going to Nationals
Willing to listen to and try out suggestions.
