Looking for 2018 Nationals co-driver in my 85 Citation

[captain_pants]

I'm looking for a co-driver/tire warmer/etc. for the 2018 Nationals in my 1985 Citation in CM. Car finished 7th in 2017 with driver issues holding it back. Car has won 5 (maybe 6?) previous national championships with previous owners. I'm tuning the car to be a little pushy in slaloms/offsets and neutral in steady-state corners.

Ideal driver:
- knows how to drive a CM car; dogbox use, not buzzing the engine, etc.
- has around a 32-34" inseam, otherwise we'll need to add or remove back padding for pedal placement
- is under 220 lbs or otherwise know they'll fit well in a Citation FF
- enjoys scraping off OPR - I have an oscillating multi-tool
- has a sense of humor - I'm serious about trying hard, but joke about everything else

We will start Thursday morning with new R25B tires. I don't have good rain tires - hoping for dry conditions. Will share costs if you supply rain tires and we need them.

PM me here or email me at cor ey _dy ck {at}ya hoo.c om if serious.

So strange seeing a formula car in-car video with a bare-handed driver.

Wow, that was a lot of OPR on that second video? I’m guessing that’s normal at Nationals.

It is opr combined with seam sealer. It is normal at Nationals.

I also tried to get clever and cut a bunch of distance by tightening the one corner. So I was driving in an area that most weren't. It was a bad choice on both counts.

Bring a putty knife and maybe an oscillating tool for cleaning it off between runs.
