Desert Monkeys Seek Pit Help for Silver State 300

[Larry Perkins]

The Desert Monkeys are looking for some pit help for next month's Silver State 300. We need at least one driver for pit chasing and rider transfer.  It is a 300 mile loop.  Ideally we could use a driver for one of our vehicles and one driver with their own vehicle.  We can offer all kinds of fringe benefits like a floor to sleep on, a little help on gas, a meal after, and all the stress of getting to a pit before the rider does.  You may also get to see up close and personal what it is like to get dusted by 500+ horsepower Trophy Trucks.

Check in & Tech are Friday April 23rd at Aliante Station in Las Vegas close to US 95 & I 15. The start and finish are close to Alamo, Nevada.  The race is Saturday April 24th.

Anyone interested in signing on please drop me an e-mail off site at [email protected]

Thanks for the space and any help that may come.

I may be able to help....I spoke with Ric and asked if I could help sometime this year....I'll will check Monday with the "boss" and keep in touch.  I would be honored to get involved, especially if Ron is coming.

If you'll have me, sorry no off road truck available.

Maybe My "pit crew" see attached picture can help, too !

Should I plan on being there early Friday and enjoy the assistance all day Saturday...travel back on Sunday morning ?

Ron let me know where you'll stay, so I can get a room also....heck I can sleep in my truck with my "pit crew" , if they can go.

I saw you called last night.  Was at work late and have to get back at it to get a few things done this morning.  I'll give you a call around lunch time.  Talk with you soon, Skip

Skip.

Is that "old rust bucket" of a 250, I restored a few years back avaiable ?

Kinda wish I wouldn't have let it go, but at the time RC did me a favor as I panicked when I had that heart attack.

I am wanting to finish out my original 1973 Penton Plan, before I get "hitched" later this year, the plan being 100, 125, 175 and 250.

Just thought I would ask.

Thanks for the help when it was needed.

Victor

I am still planning on "pit crewing" and will send some confirmations when I return to California, but no "posse" as my future wife has no knowledge of the race girls...I usually say it is a bunch of "old guys" like me put, putting around.
