Vague question I know, so here's some background:

When I was at uni I used to go to races as part of the pit crew for a Formula Ford race team, and I really miss that. I'd still go with the same team however I have moved out of the area so it's not convenient anymore.

Where can I find small teams looking for help, around Yorkshire if possible? I don't really want to travel more than 2 hours to the track (not sure any further would be worth it...). I'd be happy volunteering as long as it doesn't cost me too much to attend, I just want to get back into it really!

Two teams I'm aware of within easy reach of N Yorks:

Redline Racing based in Stockton - Porsche chaps http://www.rlracing.co.uk/
Hydrex / Swan Honda in Guisborough - http://www.hydrexhonda.com/

You could always go to a couple of meetings and ask around, also if you buy a programme they often have the drivers home town so you could try those ones specifically.

Hopping on to this, if there is anyone running a racing team in the hampshire area that wants a mature(ish!) mechanic to help out let me know smile
