Co-drive for Sunday?

Anyone interested in having a co-driver for 12/14 the champ event? I'd like to try something different. I can cover your entry fee/tire costs/lunch/etc.
BTW, most of my experience is RWD with race tires, but I'm willing to try anything that's semi-competitive.

Wanna try a Corvette?
I hope it will be out of the shop with a brand new transmission.

No use to baby it, I don;t think solo is nearly as hard on it as Streets of Willow. I run all day there and never get out of second gear.

Sounds like fun. I wonder if it'll be enough to beat Chad in the WRX.
I'll send a PM.

Jason ... do you know how to drive a Lotus? Maybe you can help Chad break in his new Xige?

After going to the ProSolo Finale this year, my personal definition of autocrossing in the rain has changed.

if there's no standing water, it's not "raining"?..

I could make a joke here about BREAKing in a Lotus, but... yeah I think after 2 years I'm starting to figure it out. Been waiting to try a supercharged one for about a year now. ;)

If things aren't floating downstream, the heavy stuff hasn't come in yet...

If the wake thrown up by a car isn't knocking down cones, it's not that wet.
