Are you working for JHE doing the sprint experience at the track? If you are be prepared it is way more than driving. I used to run the circuit and did all 36 races doing marketing and tv trucks for a few years and no all to well what those guys do at the track.

Be prepared to do a lot of manual labor in all weather conditions for sure. They normally start setting up on wed and finish Thursday and open on fri,sat and sun. Just depends on when the race is and the schedule. You will earn your money for sure. Pack your patience because you will find you work as a team and as we all know not everyone pulls there weight and they do very little while others work hard to get the job done. That can be very frustrating to say the least.

The marketing company that I am with now has 2 drivers that worked for JHE and left a year ago to come over here because of getting burned out. Best advice is to make friends with other drivers you meet either on teams or other marketing companies and that way if another less physically demanding job comes open that is never advertised you may find out.

The pre race stage is a pretty good truck for them as well as the freightliner hospitality trailer they have. Both are a ton easier than the sprint experience. I still know people that work over there but have moved into more office roles but know way more drivers who have left over the years for better opportunities

I will try and answer any questions that you might have. I will go to 3 or 4 races this year but am currently on tour for the next 17 weeks so only have 1 more race this year to work.

 

Oh, Oh, it begins. I didn't want to blow out any negativity, but I've seen how hard these guys work, and I hate to say it, but the reason there was a job opening, is someone else got discouraged and quit. Now, even I feel bad saying you'd be nuts not to take the job. I wanted a job with John Force because I love drag racing, but I bet after a while, I probably wouldn't even want to watch the race itself. I hope it gets better for you, if not, there's plenty of other opportunities for a driver out there.

 

Is this team driving or are you out there by yourself?
