JBR looking for skilled engine mechanic - race for free!
JBR is a team that races 2 87 NA supras in the 24 hours of lemons series, essentially endurance racing - 14 - 24 hour races. We have had excellent sucess over the past 5 years.
But it has gotten to the point that we have to many irons in the fire,. my brother and I , team owners, drivers, pit crew, crewcheif, mechanics, well it's just eating up to much time. mainly because we also run 2 different off road motorcycle racing series, and we are spending all out time wrenching on , transporting and racing the bikes. So we need a guy who knows what they are doing, is meticulous and level headed, and willing to do the required engine work on the supras. Right now we need someone to go through the engine, and put it all to factory specs (endurance is the key, engine mods typically = break or fail, we need the thing to run , flawlessly for 24 hours at a time. We provide all the parts you will need, you can work at our garage, one in fresno California, 1 in park City Utah, or we can get the car / and or engine to your location. In exchange for the wrenching, you get an equal share of driving time in the car! let me know if you are interested. best is birdbrain13@gmail.com or just call 559-367-7156 Carl |

You're in the wrong state.

We would be willing to ship the motors to you, but it gets a bit logistically challenged. But if you really were interested, we could work something out. I'll pm you my contact info if you wanrt to discuss this, or ask whatever questions. thanks, i can always depend on getting great info and advise from you! Carl Johansson BTW we ran a honda CRX at Loudon this weekend. FWD is a hell of alot different than the supra. We ran OK, but it's back to RWD for me! |

I've cleaned out some of the comments in this thread which were derailing it. If you're not interested what Carl has to offer well, just carry on. It can be a very fun operation to be part of and even without any cash it still pays a whole hell of a lot more than any of the MKIII "gonna make it JDM Tyte" local dipshits with whom I've spent many weekends helping them fix everything THEY fucked up with no compensation. Half of the few random breaks I take throughout my day are spent trying to make sure everyone here is taken care of (for free, except for the two people who in all of my time here were kind enough to donate a few dollars). If someone IS interested but you think more compensation is in order then contact Carl and see if it's negotiable. Stop pissing all over the thread because it's not something you're specifically interested in.
Carl, I do think it'd be a lot of fun. I've got the tools and the know-how but unfortunately, I can't even get into my garage right now. I'm renovating a house and doing all the landscaping by myself and presently working two jobs (sob story  )... I'm in Denver by the way, shipping here shouldn't pose a problem but that's rather academic right now. I think if I brought home one more project before I get some of this other stuff taken care of my wife might lock me out.
