Anyone going to Fontana next weekend for the AMA race?

[excat]

You guys should let me know if you plan on going to Infineon or Laguna.  Could use some help on the grid and in the pits a bit.  It costs like $200 to get someone in there to help and have a grid pass.  I would pay but as long as someone showed up ha

if i lived anywhere near there, i'd take you up on that. that'd be awesome. i work the pits for my dad's drag car, and i love every minute of that. fontana is cali isn't it?

cow shit wouldn't bother me. i've grown up around that smell my entire life. pollution, you can keep all that shit. i like the nice fresh air here in oklahoma. doesn't smell quite so bad here i'd imagine.

I'm going to the Red Bull GP for all three days this year.  Cobes, do you mean you need someone for that weekend?  what all do you need someone to do? 

[cobes]

Hey I will speak with you closer to the date to see if I will for sure be going.  Honestly those weekends are pretty busy.  I race on my own so I do all my own wrenching, changing tires etc.  The only reason I need an extra person on an AMA weekend is just because before the race you have to sit on the grid with warmers and stands.  And basically just someone to move that stuff when we have to go for the warm up lap.  Hopefully I will get to ride Laguna, that would be pretty fun.

I'd like to see you come out to the east coast and do an AMA round Cobes.

[Nihon Newbie]

That's cool. Just let me know whenever.  I'd be totally down to help out however I could.   

[cobes]

Cool, thanks I will def. let you know.  Beer that would be fun, kinda just depends on money.  No one gives me any cash to race  I just bust my ass on a drilling rig.  East coast has some really nice looking tracks.

your in cali and they have rigs running up there still?

[cobes]

ha I wish.  No my gf works in LA and I work in Fort Nelson BC (Canada).  I was working in Colorado on a work visa with my company for a while but back to Canada now.  I'm not a US citizen.  I just race and hang out south of the border.

who you working for...Trinidad?

[excat]

that's kind of a long distance relationship isn't it? sheesh....

He must have met her on the internet!!!!!!!!!!

[cobes]

haha not at all.  We met in university, we are both from Nova Scotia (eastern Canada).  We dated for three years before she decided to go to school in LA for fashion.  Big change but I'm glad she did, racing in California is good fun.  But yeah on the rigs we work two weeks on and a week or two off.  So on my time off I fly to LA from Edmonton AB. 

I work for Akita Drilling.  Trinidad, from what I hear, is a good company to work for.  I've been thinking about jumping ship and working motors for them in Mexico if that's a possibility.  Sometimes you have to have a certain amount of time with the company to leave the country for work, but I don't think that applies in Mexico.  I don't think you even need a work visa. 

Rigs are good times, I am working derrickhand this week woot!
