Barber 2016 Club Race Workers

[FVee90]

Thank you to all of y'all that have signed up to work early. Our biggest need is F&C still since we have 17 corners to work. On August 12 - I must use that F&C number that is signed up and then place and order for additional help if needed. So please sign up now or sign up before August 12th.
We have had a request for additional help in Registration (thanks Sara!) Friday afternoon/night and Saturday morning.

The Alabama Region and the Tennessee Valley Region do this annual race in order to provide for our membership an opportunity to race at a world class venue. As such we need the support of the membership to step up and volunteer your support for the club. We are in need of flagging and communications volunteers (corner workers) to cover the 17 corner stations around Barber Motorsports Park.

Sign up and help support the club with your time.
Your support can provide some safety and security for the drivers and a great view
of some close racing for you.
We need a head count by August 12 of corner workers.
Sign up today!

I signed up for "I want to help but don't know where I'm needed." I'll work wherever no experience is necessary.

Thank you Josh!

Keep in mind you can volunteer for more than one position. We'll need help on Friday night getting folks moved in.

Paddock Marshals: Race car drivers sure can find their way around the track, but have a hard time finding their way through the paddock area. Here's where you can help. Friday evening we need people to help the folks find a spot to park their rigs and get in the right area to get a power hookup. Experience not essential.

We have maps to give the drivers so they can get an idea of where to park, then our trusted Paddock Marshals can help them to their spot and make sure they don't park across the access routes or takeover too much paddock area. Ricky Ragan has done this job, exceptionally well, for years. Usually 3-4 people can do the job. You get pizza and paid too!

Tech needs help to get set up on Friday night as well as Grid. This is much like setting up for a day at Autox. Cones for grid, EZUP put in place, tables chairs, setting up the traffic flow, getting ice chests and water and gatorade in the coolers. Perfect job for an autocrosser. I usually do this one but I could use some help to get it done faster.

John,
Is the Impound job still open? I like to be able to see and understand different cars and the SCCA GCR rules, so I tought maybe a closer look (helping in impound) would help me learn more about.

Our big need right now is for corner workers. Your help would be appreciated in either position.

[MikyBasso]

John,
Thank you for the quick reply.

Before I reach my 80th birthday I want to start racing in TimeTrial and before my 90th birthday in GCR. Right now I want to be as close to the action to understand and see the T1 class (and all the rules with it). Anything that help in that would be appreciated. Off course I am open in any open position, where u need me he most. Please just keep me in your mind.
Thanks
Miky

How old are you Miky? If you have an autox car you could participate in the time trials entry level of performance driving experience (PDX). If you're willing to add a roll barand fire bottle to your car and buy some appropriate safety gear you could run TT. We have two events a year at TGPR. It's super easy to get into Time Trials.

[MikyBasso]

John,
I usually race the red S2000 #59

Just 5 year short to start cashing retirement minimum social security benefit checks for buying all the tires I need to race (probably just used ones).

My problem right now is SCCA autocross, not SCCA TT or GCR, since I don't see any problem to get into, at least for TT.

I would love to discuss with you at the race, and share my programs.

Miky
