Title: co-driver needed for GCFR rally sprint
Post by Anthony_T on 06/12/15 at 10:44:40

Looking for a co-driver for the Galway Cavendish rally sprint. Your own helmet, suit & HANS are required unfortunately. I am not going to bring home trophies or a bent car, just to have a little sanctioned fun :).

Still looking. Really hoping someone can help me out with this... even a equipment loan could help - though a live candidate is even better :)

Anthony, I'm servicing but could potentially loan helmet/Hans/Suit depending who it is...

Peter Watt has also offered up the use of personal safety equipment over on Facebook, if someone wants to try co-driving.

You still need to have a valid cars liscence for this? I wonder if Shane Bozic could use my stuff and do it like he did at Black Bear.

I'd have to ask him if he's free too.

You only need a RallySprint license which is like 10 dollars, be a member of an RSO club and you just fill out a form... http://rallysport.on.ca/index.php?fuseaction=site.details&id=931

Well thanks to the generosity of John Vanos for lending me some equipment and Anthony for being willing to take on a total newb, it looks like I am going to take a shot at the Silly Seat for the GCFR Rallysprint!

Congratulations Dave.
Now you get to know what it's like from the stage road and not from the side lines.

Well the final outcome - I fit (barely). No padding in the seat and Anthony will have to get a little more shoulder strap length for me, but I can get in the car and put the helmet on. The HANS is tight going on but good once it is on.

NO PADDING! at least the road is pretty smooth!
