Workers Needed: Talladega TrackTrial event

[chuck schultz]

2 each @ stations 2,4,6 and 1 at station 7/gate.

You left out station 3.

You left out station 3.

3 and 5 are usually the ones left unmanned if/when we are short in previous years.

Actually, we never staff 5, because it is not safe with cars, according to the track's previous owners, and they had plenty of experience.

I'm fully aware of how we staff things when we're short handed, unfortunately. Let's not have that this time, OK, folks?

One worker per station is legal per TT rules. It's just not as fun.

Annnyway, it's good to see folks are passionate about working these events with the club but, we need more people. IF you are available and want to learn a new skill in a low stress environment sign up and help us put on one of the best Time Trial events in the SE Division. Heath Patterson is the Worker Chief and we have some stations that still need filling. It is a lot more fun to have a buddy at a corner station so you can make fun of the drivers and some of the silly things they try looking for that extra 1/10 or so. We need you! Sign up on MotorsportsReg.com. The link is in post #1 in this thread.
Please?

Sometimes I accidentally hit the button to engage lawn-mower mode....

NAH - This never happens:

Go over the edge in T2 when the throttle sticks while braking?

Make a late turn too fast into T2 when you hit the throttle rather than the brake?

Slide off track in T4 after you early apex going too fast?

Go airborne in the bumps?

Slide into a tire wall or a tree when the grass is wet and feels like ice?

Watch your tire pass and beat you down the straight and then head off into the trees?

Too fast into the kink while braking too late - tear up your undertray on the gators?

Watch the car in front of you putting real flames out the back heading toward the kink? Realize that the driver does not know it while the corner worker waves a flag and hustles for the fire bottle?


Yep, working a corner can be boring most of the time. BUT, there are those moments of "Ho Lee Schitt! Did I just see that?" Then you can experience how much the drivers rely on the corner workers.

Talked to Hans M about a Barber subject and he says he will be at TGPR to work as starter both days.

Thanks Mark.

Registered for F&C, Sunday only.

[JohnW8]

Thanks you Joseph!

[HPEVOX]

So at this point there are 7 signed up for F&C. C will be there too. So that's 8 for F&C. That should have the corners manned! C at 1, 2 at two, 2 at four, 2 at six, 1 at seven/gate, Sara in grid, Hans at start. At least for Sunday. I can't see who else is only working one day on the registration except Joseph posting here.
