View Full Version : Crew help
I will be needing some additional Crew help over the winter and during the 2002 season with my Speedvision Mercury Cougar Touring car. The prep work is done at my shop in norther Macomb County. It will include everything from wrenching on the car fab work, machine work, loading of trailer and also some travel if you like or I can split it up between a couple guys. I know some of you have expressed interest and we will need to get started shortly. I will let you know it does take some commitment on your part but I do guarantee you will learn a lot about preparing a race car and what makes ut work.
PM me for more details if you are interested.

I'm sooooooooo in I had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. My first experience was at Monterrey, Mexico about 2 year ago when my cousin was working as pit crew on the Adrian Fernandez Racing team (CART ) I had the chance to spend 3 beautiful days almost with out sleep, but it was worth it.
Last year also I helped with some preparation for Tommy Bahama racing team (trans Am Series) My friend runs C&M racing
Tuner of the Quovale Mangusta you can check the car at http://www.qvaleauto.com/
Leo thanks you're the man!!!!!!!!!!

I would be more then willing to help. I'm not sure about being able to travel to very far or long, but I am for sure in for prepping the car. For quite a few years I worked with my the crew of a car that my dad sponsored for local Friday/Saturday night oval racing, so I do have some knowhow.

I would like to help in any way I can, the only problem I have is with a baby on the way in March I don't know what kind of commitment I can have from March on. Up until then I can be commited. :) If you still need my help just let me know.

Hi Leo,
My schedule is kind of whacky since I'm out of town a lot but count me in as well for weekends when I'm here. I guess I just need to be kept in the loop on what dates you are planning to do work on to see if I can make it.
My email is hung@outer-net.com or you can just PM me with the rest of the guys.

Seeing as Chris says that it's only $20 bucks, I've recently been contemplating the upsides and downsides of a personalized license plate bearing my last name. :biggrin:
HUNG
What would be the ramifications of this simple but most unique of mods... hrmmmm...
1) Would it turn the chicks on or turn them off?
2) Cop magnet?
3) How would my professionalism as an engineer be affected?
Or would it be catch the attention of a big-shot producer and launch my career in the adult industry?
4) This is the same car I drive to church in on Sundays!!!
5) Pornstar or Ricer or Pimp???

1) Youd loose some of the girls... gain quite a few of the loose ones. :tongue:
2) Naw... yer an asian driving an american car. You shouldnt have any problem.
3) Nope... fellow engineers would be jealous. AND... dude.. you are single. Why would you NOT want to be in adult films. :)
4) If your pastor or whoever mentions it... just play halo boy. Say "Oh dear lord pastor xxxx I cant beleive you would turn my given name into a sinful meaning" turn it around to make it sound like HE is the one thinking dreadful thoughts.
5) Pornstar driving a riced out car to pick up his money from his hoes.... now WHAT i ask is wrong with that. Not every pimp has a pink caddy with hydros.
