Hey there, sorry Ii didn't get to your questions immediately!
1. Yes, you can be your own mechanic if you're a racer. That's not usual, but it's not unheard of either.
2. Being a chimera or a mutant with advantageous abilities won't actually factor in until you're a class B racer, because until then all racers must use the track-owned clunker hovercrafts that puts them on even ground. Even if your character was a fast reactor, the machine itself wouldn't be able to follow their reactions as fast because they're all tinkered to be the same. In class b, you can purchase your own hovercraft and choose a model that'd add more dice to your dice pool for moves that rely on reaction times.
3. Being a racer is pretty much a full time gig. Of course they do things on the side, like model, or something that goes with their celebrity status. But it's not so much that being a racer is full time, that being a H.A.W.K is a full time commitment.
4. As for those special forces you mentioned, that'd fall under the airman category. He can't use a hovercraft though, because hovercrafts can't actually fly around in the air. Hovercrafts can only be used when closer to the ground, and they cannot rise much higher than 10 to 20 feet.
I hope this was helpful! If you have any more questions please ask here, as questions can sometimes get badgered down in the c-box before I see them.
