Co-driver needed

Sounds simple - everyone wants to get into a car. I am willing to work with someone new (new to co-driving, or rally...). There are a few important requirements however; 1) a strong stomach, 2) Equipment. Unfortunately this is not inexpensive. Rough costs are as follows; a Helmet (550), a Head and Neck Restraint (850) and a fire resistant suit (100-400ish). Fortunately for co-drivers these costs are not ongoing unlike with running your own car. Some drivers and co-drivers split entry and hotel costs. I am flexible on this however. 3) Commitment. Rallies are expensive to enter. 500$ is not uncommon + lodging/food/time away from work. When you pay to enter a rally, you come prepared.

Rallies are a lot of fun - but they are serious fun. It is not a hobby one takes up on a whim (unless your very wealthy that is, unlike myself).

If you're reading this (fat chance) and are still interested drop me a pm on the Maple Leaf Rally Club forums (www.mlrc.ca - Anthony_T) and we'll talk.
