    They don't just drive.....they are team members like jack men, tire men, catch can guy etc. ( or so I've heard )

    I would call the team........ and good luck. ( I always wanted to do it too.) Many are located in the Carolina's and probably in the book.

    Google 'em !

    yea i know especially in nascar they work thier ##### off. id really love to get on a supercross team. all of them are located in so cal only bout 4 hours away. its a really hard thing to google but im basically just looking up teams and going on thier websites. supercross season just started so none of them would have openings until next fall.

    My cousin was a hot shot emergency medic he wrote one of the training books, they are volunteer in my area, & for pay a local law enforcement officer, & the next thing I know he get hooked up with a race team & moves to Charlotte, & works for one of the race teams. he is doing something in emergency medicine for them. I could ask, but we are too different & dont keep up much but speak a couple times a year if we are lucky.

    Monster truck teams are many times not only the driver, owner, mechanic, and everything else. I know the fellow that owns and drives Jurassic Attack and Maniac. Great guy, I even got to work as crew at the Fargodome last February for one of the shows.

    He puts in LOTS of hours on those trucks. They don't get paid a whole lot either when you figure in the hours worked.

    Check craigslist jobs under 'transport' - I have seen teams post for transport drivers on there; and yes, they all had a 'laundry list" of jobs you do after the rig gets parked - some, up to and including cooking/catering for the crew.

    Get on the SX forum boards like VitalMX, they had an ad up a few weeks ago for a team needing a driver. A1 is on live tonight so don't miss it, I'm sure no one knows what I'm referring to, but Anaheim 1 is the start of the supercross season, and this has got to be one of the most stacked fields in history, it's anyones game tonight, or this season for that matter.

    It was good, Hansen won the lites, and Villopoto won the 450's. No great racing but it should be a good season.
