Title: O/T: Co-driver/Navigator needed 9/12/09 Post by: duckwrench13 on September 09, 2009, 04:01:21 PM Co-driver/Navigator needed for Saturday 9/12. Should be able to make sense out of a road book/directions ???, good with maps & GPS, and do well with fast twisting roads in a small car. Lack of motion sickness [puke] is a definite plus! Be prepared for 252 miles of twisty back-country roads; roughly 8 hours. Overnight, and second day option as well.
It's the California Melee this weekend. And for those of us that didn't make the 50 car cut for the Melee [bang], there's the 2009 Rogue Rallye! It leaves 9am Saturday morning from Marin, and stops that evening in Ft. Bragg. Sunday is the return leg of the rally. There's a small group of us that are doing Saturday only. Right now I have a pending navigator, but I haven't gotten 100% confirmation he'll be here Friday night. So, I need to find a back-up nav. I can pick you up Saturday morning on the way to the starting point. It'll be early, since we have to be in Marin by 8am for the drivers/safety meeting. THIS IS NOT A COMPETITIVE EVENT. THIS IS NOT A RACE. THIS IS STUPID AMOUNTS OF FUN!!! [thumbsup] [thumbsup] Safety is the utmost priority, so driving will be close to sane, and speeds will be "of a safe and prudent nature based on road conditions". [leo] [evil] [laugh] So if you feel like strapping into a noisy, somewhat unforgiving, nimble driving, 35 year old German track car and taking off into regions unknown, drop me a line.

I need a navigator ASAP!!!! Title: Re: O/T: Co-driver/Navigator needed 9/12/09 Post by: Michael Moore on September 09, 2009, 04:44:23 PM I'd love to, but just *looking* at WRC on tv makes me want to hurl chunks.
Best of luck finding someone with no hint of motion sickness. ;D Title: Re: O/T: Co-driver/Navigator needed 9/12/09 Post by: duckwrench13 on September 09, 2009, 05:15:26 PM I'd love to, but just *looking* at WRC on tv makes me want to hurl chunks. Best of luck finding someone with no hint of motion sickness. ;D It's not that kind of rally. ;D All the cars on this one are pre-1975 Brit & Euro touring and sports cars. Not to say that they aren't zippy and quick, but they won't be sliding around in the dirt all day. Well, at least not intentionally! [cheeky] [laugh] Title: Re: O/T: Co-driver/Navigator needed 9/12/09 Post by: Desmostro on September 09, 2009, 05:26:10 PM too short notice! and too much to do this weekend. >:(
Good luck man, that sounds like a blast [thumbsup] Title: Re: O/T: Co-driver/Navigator needed 9/12/09 Post by: duckwrench13 on September 09, 2009, 06:38:26 PM Hey DQ, got any plans for Saturday?
Title: Re: O/T: Co-driver/Navigator needed 9/12/09 Post by: DanTheMan on September 09, 2009, 08:44:50 PM sounds fun, got cpr classes on the 12 or id do it.
Title: Re: O/T: Co-driver/Navigator needed 9/12/09 Post by: mostrobelle on September 09, 2009, 08:46:47 PM I'd totally be down for this, but I'm headed to the track on Saturday!
Title: Re: O/T: Co-driver/Navigator needed 9/12/09 Post by: duckwrench13 on September 10, 2009, 06:22:40 AM UGH!! [bang] C'mon... Somebody's got to be up for a day full of adventure?! :-\
Title: Re: O/T: Co-driver/Navigator needed 9/12/09 Post by: gojira on September 10, 2009, 08:39:28 AM Ah, memories of Cannonball Run! [evil] ;D Title: Re: O/T: Co-driver/Navigator needed 9/12/09 Post by: duckwrench13 on September 10, 2009, 08:43:18 AM Ah, memories of Cannonball Run! [evil] ;D Not quite Cannonball style, but just as much fun! Silly attire is highly encouraged! [cheeky] Title: Re: O/T: Co-driver/Navigator needed 9/12/09 Post by: Jaman on September 10, 2009, 11:29:37 AM got room for a kid's seat?
if yes, my daughter & I are in! she loves fast, twisty roads, and encourages me to "catch air" going down Gough (when mom isn't in the car...) I may be able to dig up an old Raoul Duke costume, daughter has a pink tu tu, i am 1/2 way decent with a map, not so much on the GPS... Sounds like serious fun, if i wasn't MrMom this weekend, i would be in! Good luck! Title: Re: O/T: Co-driver/Navigator needed 9/12/09 Post by: duckwrench13 on September 10, 2009, 01:42:15 PM Nope, sorry, no room for kiddie seat. Heck, there isn't even room for the OEM back seat...the roll cage bolts into the floor where the seat used to be!
Title: Re: O/T: Co-driver/Navigator needed 9/12/09 Post by: johnc on September 10, 2009, 02:17:24 PM sounds fun, got cpr classes on the 12 or id do it. duckwrench13 ... you dodged the bullet on DTM being a navigator ... that would have ended with a helicopter ride for certain. Title: Re: O/T: Co-driver/Navigator needed 9/12/09 Post by: duckwrench13 on September 10, 2009, 08:04:21 PM Some carb gremlins have taken up residence under the hood, so there's a very slim chance the whole thing may be off for Saturday. But just in case it's only a minor hiccup, I still need a co-pilot. Seriously, isn't there anyone who's up for some adventure?!
Title: Re: O/T: Co-driver/Navigator needed 9/12/09 Post by: Vindingo on September 11, 2009, 05:03:22 AM [bang] stupid school
I would be all over this! good luck getting the carbs sorted Title: Re: O/T: Co-driver/Navigator needed 9/12/09 Post by: duckwrench13 on September 11, 2009, 07:24:28 AM Think I found the problem. Still need a victim...uh...um... I mean co-pilot!
Title: Re: O/T: Co-driver/Navigator needed 9/12/09 Post by: MendoDave on September 12, 2009, 08:59:27 AM Well I can offer you a beer when you get to Fort Bragg.
Title: Re: O/T: Co-driver/Navigator needed 9/12/09 Post by: duckwrench13 on September 12, 2009, 06:54:01 PM Well I can offer you a beer when you get to Fort Bragg. I'll have to take you up on that beer some other time. I headed back to SF after Cloverdale. I have to make a coupe of airport runs in the morning, and a guest room to finish getting ready for a friend. We did come across the remnants of a GSXR vs. Jeep Grand Cherokee on Skaggs. I'm assuming victims were already evac'd when we came along. Just a bunch of dumbfounded looking guys, a Jeep on a flatbed, and one seriously fooked blue and white twisted thing that was once a GSXR. Didn't look pretty at all. Title: Re: O/T: Co-driver/Navigator needed 9/12/09 Post by: MendoDave on September 13, 2009, 04:33:04 AM There is a guy in my neighborhood that drifted over the line on hos 800 super sport right in to an RV. He lived but his leg is shattered. then two other guys destroyed their bikes at T hill the other weekend. One of them was a gsxr. I think Both of those guys, Eli & whats his name.. are un hurt. Eli owned his GSXR for 1 hour...
Title: Re: O/T: Co-driver/Navigator needed 9/12/09 Post by: Desmostro on September 13, 2009, 12:15:45 PM How was it other than tragedy on Skaggs? Good times?
