Co-Driver needed for Nationals

Post by **Bill Schenker** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 11:08 pm

I am looking for a co-driver for Nationals.

Driver provides tires and splits cost of getting the car to/from Lincoln, I provided the rest. Any tires won, I keep, any Mazda $$ won, you keep. Anything breaks from your direct action (put it into a wall; shift from 3rd to 1st and do damage; etc.), you fix, anything that breaks from any other causes (wear and tear; unknown cause; it just breaks), I fix.

Most know the car, and it is only getting faster (lots of changes in the works). This is arguably the fastest CSP car in the country and one of the fastest cars in our division. A blast to drive.

I will work with the co-driver to get used to the car at local events before Lincoln. I'm an Evolution School teacher and would be very happy to coach you!

Thanks!!

Bill

Great Co-Drive ... a number of Bill's co-drivers have won National Championships!

Bill, you can always count on Mako!

... just want to make sure Bill doesn't miss out listing any of the positive attributes of a Co-Drive with his car. You would think that this type of harassing would make sure IT never happens again!

Mako, it's getting really old....

How about "Must be under 6" to fit in seat"...Is that getting really old yet? ;)

Cuz it still cracks me up everytime.

... not "old" for potential new co-drivers. But you're right, Bill had already said how fast it was ...

I was referring to your hijacking every one of my threads that are seeking co-drivers to needle me about the fact that Reijo beat me by 0.447 nearly three years ago in '07 (the one and only time I've lost to a co-driver at the National Champs., btw) after losing more than that when I put part of my rear wheel into the sand and drove sideways for a few seconds down a short straight (taking NOTHING away from Reijo's GREAT Championship win here!!!)

Please, Mako. Enough. Start becoming competitive with my times and maybe it won't be so tiresome.

I was .087 behind you in the last event... Is that competitive enough to start ragging on you???

I think Joey is about the right height Bill, but will his butt fit in the seat?

I apologized to Bill ... and he graciously accepted. I'll try to stop being such a predictable bore. As punishment I had a horrible nightmare last night involving the Vette and a bad tank of gas. I was even slower then usual.

And here I thought a sluggish throttle response might actually make Mako faster!

Bill has built one helluva fast hot rod. Its an amazing opportunity to run a car that is one of the favorites for the national championship. Tires and part of transportation is a steal. Think of the small fortune Bill has spent to get this far! And the large fortune anybody else would need to get as fast.

I really wish I could fit in it. That car looks like an absolute blast and I would love to co-drive it.

All it needs is power steering. }:)

I've driven the car a few times, not well, but enough to know that it has awesome grip and acceleration and that was on old tires. If you're smooth and stay ahead of the course, the car won't bite.

The car is a regular top-three finisher at regional, divisional and national events. :mrt:

Bill's tiny head makes the Miata look so big!

Bill, you really need to make the seat adjustable so that normal people can drive it!
I'd totally be up for a co-drive then. I might even be willing to help pay for the sliders!

:segue: can somebody with photoshop skills cover Bill's headlights with the flat black and yellow checkers?
