UBCSCC AutoX - Team Enduro - Aug 28th

I'm kind of intrigued by the "team" concept, especially Team Fiero.

There needs to be four drivers from what I understand, and there needs to be one novice, right?

As far as I know, I qualify as a novice as prior to December of 2010, I had only participated in three autocrosses.

So, do I have any value to a team as the designated novice driver? (Please don't give me a bad time, I'm becoming emotionally fragile with only 90 HP at my disposal!)

And before everyone moans and makes fun of the duke, the other option is that I co-drive someone else's Fiero.

Any chance we can work something out?

[EDIT] I should add that in regards to a team needing a "novice", I believe Steve (with his beautiful Northstar powered '88 GT) would also qualify. Hmmm... who do you pick, eh? Pat with his duke or Steve with his Northstar? If Steve's not working, I'll be in the bleachers.

Not me.  I'm allergic to UBC events. 

Patrick: co-drive Brian's or Colby's car.  Those will outperform the mighty Duke (sorry) and you can also use that day as a driver comparison which would be very valuable.

I'm planning on attending the BCCC autox and hopefully it'll be the return of the insanely fun Sylvester vs Tweety battles of 2007 and 2008.  I'm trying to get my friend Bob to come play (we have the same car).

I know....that's why I mentioned it.  Here, I'll ask for you. 

Brian or Colby, could one of you fine gentlemen please offer a co-drive to Patrick for the reasons I outlined above? 

Thanks guys!

Brian, as much as I'd love to drive your car (and maybe I'll still get the chance sometime), from an educational (and historic) standpoint, co-driving with Colby probably makes the most sense. After the two of us having "duked" it out, I'm sure we're both curious how our driving styles compare to each other (Colby's methodical, I'm more on the edge) while driving the same car, and fortunately a car with more power than a duke. Here's our chance!

So Colby, you've got yourself a co-driver.  This should be fun!

Is there one more Fiero who'd care to join us, or will we have to settle for a Porsche?

Colby, any chance you and I should "practice" for this event by going to the Corvette Club's autocross the day before?

If you wanted to co-drive then as well we can do that.

Yeah, that would be wonderful. As part of a team at the Enduro on Sunday, I'd feel a lot more comfortable at that event after having some seat time in your car on Saturday. This will be great.
