Over the weekend my little brother and I went down to the Mid-Ohio Sports car Course to crew for Rehagen Racing in the Continental Tire Challenge (sanctioned by Grand-Am).

I wasnt able to take many pictures as we were working but here is what I do have.
(the kid in the hat is my little brother).

 

Very nice! Was this a 'sweat equity deal' in exchange for some of the prep work they did?

Soooo, did you hear anything interesting about the 302/302R's?

 

sure did

 

That #60 car still for sale?

 

not sure how activly they are advertising it, but its for sale

 

Awesome! Why didn't you run your car? Haha

 

Always enjoy Mid-Ohio and looking forward to the ALMS race later this season. The Rehagen guys were/are a great bunch of guys when I was able to meet them a few years ago with Brad (Mid-Ohio) and Brad and Scott at Barbers.

Also . . . moving thread to 'Mustang Motorsports,' but will leave a link for a few days . . .

 

Cool stuff. I was down there Saturday.

 

Awesome!

 

So what was your duty for the weekend? Tire guy, jack guy, fuel guy?

 

rear tire assist, not over the wall I was passing tires to the changer and retriving the old tire and pulling it back over the wall.

This was my first event with the team so I was not expecting a galamours job, but you gotta start somewhere. Its a nice step up from crewing on ST2 cars in NASA.

 

Cool. I love hang out with racers and at race tracks.

 

Awesome, I've been on a Nascar Canadian Tire crew for the past 3 years, prior to that on a CASCAR team for years. Nowadays I just drive the hauler, spot and signman at times, oh and cook and all round gopher, lol.

We have the 27 & 7 teams, with Andrew Ranger in the 27 and various drivers in the 7 car. In the past we've had Alex Tagliani, Jacques Villeneuve, Petey Shepherd, Miquel Duhamel and Alan Labrosse to mention a few in our 7 car. Andrew won the series championship in 2007 & 2009 for us, this year he's moved up to the K&N East Series and only racing the 27 car when his K&N schedule permits it. He was out in Sonoma last weekend, first time to that track and won it, awesome job, put the move on David Gillilland for the win

Next weekend we're in St. Eustache Que, then Toronto Indy, Edmonton Indy, back to Circuit Villleneuve then the GP3R in Trois Rivieres. Maybe I'll bump into you out in Quebec, we usually run across your series out there, I think you guys run the GP3R & Montreal??? Stinger, let me know if you're going out there, I'll look you up.

 

I know quite a few of the rehagen guys, fun people to be around.

 

Cool man, cool. I turn wrenches on my buddy's Roush clubracer when I'm not the one driving it for him

You doing any more crew days w/ them this year?

 

I need to get myself to the Glen next year to see the race in person... Awesome shots from the pits Sean... Love the Red Dragon photos too.. Even though I'm a Max the Ax kinda guy.

 

I was wondering what happened to Andrew Ranger. I guess if he was winning in Sonoma, he had a good excuse not to be in a Nationwide car at Elkhart on Saturday. It's a shame that there isn't a decent Indycar seat for him, though. I remember him being pretty racy as a rookie in CART.

 

that's pretty sweet! Wish I could do something like that!

 

just found out today I am going with the team to Utah in sept for the Grand-Am race at Miller Motorsports park, then spending the week 4 wheeling in Moab with th eteam and the next weekend crewing for the NASA championships the next weekend (also at MMP).

 

I might be at MMP for NASA Nats to watch a couple of my fellow AZ racers compete...maybe I'll see you there
