WORKER THREAD - Solo @ Dega 11/19/17

I won't be able to make it to this after all.

[MX5CC66]

I should be able to help John with safety, if Nick can't make it.

Unless that gate opening is a minimum of 65' wide we can't go through it. (it's approx. 30')

If the course does two hairpins to get it farther away from the fence and then a straight shot through the gate from a slower turning speed, it could meet the intent of the rule.

For example, for a street solo in NY state about 30 years ago, the national office approved a short section (50 - 100 yards) of a narrow street (maybe 24 feet wide) with curbs technically too close, as long as the course allowed a controlled entry into that feature, and the course was delineated by a straight line of gates the minimum width apart.

Here's a rough idea what that course looked like, IIRC. Church Street is where the narrow section was -

I could probably help with tech or safety. Have not done either before but pretty familiar with the area, would just need some help with the regulations.

Where do we enter the Talladega infield? 4th Turn Tunnel or other gates?
Thanks

[JohnW8]

4th turn tunnel. Pull up to the main gate and you'll have to sit in line until they let you in at 8:00am. You can sign the waiver there and get your "I signed the waiver" wristband.

It's time to sign up and help out for this upcoming event! Charlie is on vacation and Josh is stuck at work so there have been some changes. Since I technically can't be the safety steward AND event chair, we need another safety steward to help Chris Chatta. If you are part of the setup crew, please sign up so we can get your names on the setup crew list. Clay is going to need some help. We're a club not a business so we need the support of the club members to put these events on. Step up to keep the program going strong! Thanks!

[mpcavana]

I can do registration as long as Miles populates the Event with entrants. I won't need another 2 people except I don't have experience with credit cards so if you are accepting credit/debit then a person for that should be available.

[jeallen]

If Chris can do course approval, I can be a 2nd SS.

[JohnW8]

Excellent Mike and John! Thank you!

[DelanieC]

I don't have experience with credit cards so if you are accepting credit/debit then a person for that should be available.

The card reader we use is super easy. You just type in the amount and swipe. It does require a phone with a headphone jack.

[MX5CC66]

Guys, I have some bad news. I just got back from a work trip & my Mom was put in the hospital while I was gone. She is having complications & it doesn't look like I will be able to make it at the moment. I'm hoping John or Mike can handle the SS duties. I apologize!

[DelanieC]

I decided not to go to Roebling so I can get the truck or pretend to be event chair or whatever is needed.

[rodhx]

Hope your mom gets well soon Chris!

Thanks John, Mike & Delanie for the help! It is much appreciated.

Fyi, I have been communicating on Facebook with a mother who's 15 year old son is registered in an 02 Miata. I have her a link to the SCCA Minor Waiver and told her it needed to be completed and brought with him to registration. As a permitted driver he must have a licensed driver in the car whenever he is driving, just like on the road.

[Cameron Hall]

I'm happy to help wherever I need to. I've got plenty of experience helping in various capacities in Huntsville, and am typically not too stupid with new things. Currently down for cashier, but like I said, I'll show up and help where it's needed.
