Tech Tips: How to Build Your Own Co-Driver « Spectre Performance Blog
A few tips to get that special guy or gal you know interested in working on/racing cars with you:
Tip # 1. Be sure you want it. A car buddy, whether it’s your kid or your wife or your nephew isn’t just someone to pump the pedal when you’re bleeding brakes and bring you beers. A real car person will say things like “The stance is wrong on the Cougar, it’s those stupid air shocks” or “Which cam are you putting in? Seriously? No way, that will kill the bottom end.” In public. If you just want a cheerleader, hire one.
Tip #2. First Impressions Matter. If you invite someone to a car activity, start with something likely to impress. Things like dirt track, drag racing and evening car cruises are fun for almost everyone. Save the 5am swap meet set up for a little later.
