Vintage Racing Mechanic/Manager Needed in Los Angeles

I drive a variety of vintage car types: Production / Formula / Sports Racer, so I need someone able to work (or learn how to work) on a wide variety of types of cars.

Scope of Job - key points (that I can remember at least...)

Race prep and ongoing maintenance.

Trackside assistance.

Welding and light fabrication capability.

Understanding and/or experience with suspension fine tuning.

Driving my truck/trailer (w/ race car) to races and car shows.

Driving my truck/trailer (w/ race car) to and from So Cal shops for specialized work.

Stable includes out-of-commision cars that need minor / medium / full restorations. So when the functioning race cars needs have been met (race prep or repairs or maintenance), there are a couple very cool ongoing projects to work on.

Help manage database for each car (race results, maintenance schedules, keeping track work done and consumables.

Ordering parts and equipment for special projects as well as keeping "spares" inventory current.

Recruit - and manage - additional people to work with you when extra hands are needed for special projects/events

.....I am interested in finding someone who could help with all - or some - of the above tasks.

And also not a requirement to for you to be able to do "everything" mechanical regarding the cars – I already have relationships with some local shops to do work on some of the cars. However, I would like someone who would have the goal to want to constantly increase your learning so that you could eventually be able to do a greater amount of specialized work on the cars.

The cars are raced from mid-February to the first week of November. Tracks include Willow Springs, Sonoma, Laguna Seca, Circuit of the Americas, Thermal.


Current shop space is in Long Beach area.

Too bad it's not 2005, with me living somewhere in the LA basin.....

Sounds like a great job opportunity, too bad you're not in Texas or I'd apply, just don't want to move to California at this point of my life.

Visit my website for details pertaining to my experience. I provide managerial services based on your specific needs .
