Long hours, low pay...(Need a mechanic for AMA/Barber)

I am bringing one of my students to the AMA/Barber round for his first AMA National. I need one or two folks to help. If you are an aspiring mechanic that wants to get some AMA experience, this could be the hot ticket for you. Would like to get two folks so that you can goof off one day while the other guy works (best ticket in the house).

Will pay for Crew pass/AMA membership as well as daily food/drink. Experience a plus, but not needed. My last student was Shea Fouchek with Erion Honda, so you might get a chance to say, "Hey I knew that guy when..."

Duties include:

1) Hauling and setting up canopies/tools/tire warmers on pit road and paddock pit.

2) Keep lap times

3) Conduct general maintenance

If I need to do suspension work, you are more than welcome to get some free training. We keep sheets on the bikes like most AMA teams, so you will get a chance to figure out what it is somewhat like on some teams.

If you are interested, email me at [email protected] The rider you would be working with is Danny Kelsey. He was the CMRA rookie expert last year and qualified on the front row for every race at the Mid-Ohio/GNC races that he entered (7) during the 2007 AMA GNC races.

He is very nice kid and very fast.

Hey Britt, thanks for the vote I dont think Marcus knows exactly how much food and drink I can consume on a race weekend

I'm no "mechanic", but I can swap tires with the best of them.

Thanks guys, I got about 15 replies. Cody, if Britt recommends you...you are wanted for us!

I will send out some emails this weekend, so if you sent a PM or an email I apologize if I don't respond or call back until this weekend.

Thanks for the replies.

Marcus

 

I'll be there anyway, so if you need a little quick help, just let me know. I'm probably gonna help Vosnick if he gets out there and wants my help too.

JODY,
Yeah but your help More than out weighs any thing you could consume...
How's the little guy doing?

 

Karson is doing great,I am coaching his tee-ball team this year.If you ever need a good laugh then watch a tee-ball game... nothing like the entire team chasing the ball and the small dog pile that results when one finally gets to the ball but gets knocked over by the mob They look like a swarm of ants running around...

Tell Matt I said good luck at Barber,tell the wifey/boss howdy for me.If Marcus picks me to help then I could tell yall in person.
Jody

 

Marcus, you have pm...

You can bring me drinks and gas up the bike
Yes, I will be racing.

 

wow, awesome opportunity.
wish I could apply (beg) for the chance to help but I have to leave early from the track that Saturday to get down to Daytona so I can start at Wyotech on Monday lol
