Most of you have read, and been part of my discussion on moving to Indiana. After being present for the last 3 days of USAC Indiana Sprint Week, I am even more enthusiastic about moving out to Indiana in a year or so. Here is the dilemma, as I stated before I would most definitely need a job.

Here are my current choices "to-be":
1. Work locally, rent an apartmant/similar, and start getting together my own equipment to race.
2. Work for a team that pays, then continue same as above
3. Work for a traveling team, travel, gain trust and other neccesities involved in getting a ride, drive for that team

I am working on number 3. The first part anyway, talking to a USAC team about working for them. Where that path would take me from there would be up to the car owner themself and hasn't been remotely discussed.

My real question is, 2 of em actually, If I work locally, what would be some good things to look into? I'd prefer involved with racing, but If it didn't it would still be money in the bank (some anyway). What teams (if any) would pay to work on a local sprint car?

I am willing to work on a midget or sprint car, and would drive either, although I know driving a midget would mean USAC (or POWRi) and wouldn't be likely right away anyhow.

Sorry for any confusion if any, and I appreciate all help. If anyone has specific questions that they don't want to ask/answer here, you may PM me.

Thank You,
