Last night after I hung up with Jason I made a few phone calls to get a crew in place and try to make arrangements to talk to some companies about sponsorship for the event the next day.
I was able to make a meeting with my local Canadian Tire in Penticton, BC for after work on Tuesday, and a good friend of mine who works as a mechanic at Canadian Tire made the commitment to double whatever the store could do. That was a start towards what we needed for the race.
Then I had to start figuring out how I would get the equipment needed for my over the wall crew, I know someone who raced the series quite a few years ago and was able to give me some of the stuff I would need. I was also trying to track down a set of used tires which I never did acquire.
We are racing in Quesnel this weekend so during this time my race car was all torn apart while we put in the new clutch added the lead back in from the Superlate race, changed carbs, and got tires sorted out.
I made a list of people I thought would be interested in helping out and getting some exposure for their companies one of which was my own work. I also contacted all the people I wanted to have on my crew for the event and tried to get confirmations from them.
Tomorrow I will be mainly focused on getting sponsorship for the event
