Fred can order pizzas like nobody's business.

Hey, guys gotta eat, right?

Personally, I want to do this later, but I'd never join a team only to have to climb some ladder or sit around having pipe dreams. That's retarded. Drive or don't go.

But that's me.

I wouldn't say its so much about climbing a ladder; more about people feeling it out or wanting to see what its about without having to invest a lot of money up front.

You can hop on any noobish team without having prior experience. But if you're trying to get on a team that's actually decently fast, good luck jumping on with zero road racing/crew experience at all.

Teams need crew, and crew can come and don't have to pay for anything, the drivers cover their expenses. Great, cheap way to have fun. Is it as fun as driving? Not gonna make that argument. But for example, I can't afford any more races this year but I might go to the race at Laguna Seca just to crew, gonna be a ton of fun and cool to experience such a famous world class track.

Starting a team/building a car is yet more expensive. Crewing beats not doing it at all, for darn sure.

Expecting to just jump on a team and drive a car that has had hundreds of hours of work put into it? That's asking an awful lot. And if you don't have any experience, well that's just retarded.

But that's just me.

[s1ngletracker]

Well some teams do rent seats for arrive & drive people, that isn't uncommon.

[MATCHBX]

It's his kind of arrogant attitude that this series is not geared towards. This series is about having fun and getting seat time.

If you're Mario Andretti, you might be able to walk on with that kind of an attitude. But you sir, are no Mario.

This would be great if I had any time in my schedule. I'd like to get out to see one of these next summer.

Space, check. Tow Rig, check. Funds, check. Ideally I'd like to just get something going for 2012, get one race in at BIR or IA at very minimum to get the feet wet, and do a couple more in 2013.

[MATCHBX]

I got a car that we can prep this winter and at least one or 2 other drivers. How about it Allan?

[bertrenolds5]

Has a 2012 schedule (official or otherwise) been posted anywhere?

We're in the process of building something.... odd... for this :)

Something awsome! Just rember if you ever crash it paul I would be interested in taking your tranny off your hands.
