Who:              Anyone looking to do something completely different on the weekend.  No experience necessary. Solo, road rally and rallycross participants welcome (and needed)!

Jobs: Taping – attempts to write down car numbers (or dashes) as cars spin into the gravel trap (not allowed to use red pens). Being able to read creative car numbers at 60+ mph 100 feet away is a huge plus.

Runner – picks up tapes from the floor and hands to auditors (being short is helpful but not too short – must be able to reach the upper counter).

Auditing – guessing what the tapers wrote as the cars spun (must use red pens). May lead to large consumption of wine at day’s end.

Monitor Keypad Entry – types in the guesses of the taper scribbles into a DOS program from the ’80’s (big hair encouraged but not required).

            Printer Operator – randomly writes unreadable car numbers next to times (gets to use a knife and/or scissors).

Chronomix Operator – hopefully pushes the START button, occasionally pushes RESET, randomly plugs/unplugs light cable, does not yell “PULL” loud enough and forgets to push PIT button for pit lane cars.

            Orbits 4 SP6 HF5 Transponder Operators 1 & 2 – Uses unsupported transponder software that will expire December 2027. Everyone thinks they are an expert Orbits operator but….

            Daktronics Scoreboard Console Operator – Clears results before every session and makes sure scoreboard is in correct mode – qualifying or race. Having power to the scoreboard helps.

            Race-Monitor Operator – makes sure the screen of data being sent to the Web is relevant to on-track activities. Usually forgets to switch from qualifying to race mode.

            Live Charter – Hastily writes totally unreadable numbers into tiny boxes while demanding the corner workers report all local spins. Can only count on top 3 finishers being correct.

            Dead Charter – Usually more accurate than Live Charter but is at least 2 race groups behind. Any errors in chart are quickly blamed on “I got bad tapes.”

            Finish Judge – Stands outside at the finish line at ground level and creates tapes of the finishing order. Most of the time the finishing order is obvious and correct in Orbits but not always. Then all hell breaks loose…

Electronics Technician – fixes the A-B photoelectric lights, runs CAT-5 cable, puts BNC connectors on coax, pretends to understand the Nanostation wireless printing, sets up 10Meg network using 30-year-old CAT-5 cable buried in water-filled conduit under the track, sets up switches in basement of tower in the super-secret locked switch room, rebuilds crushed tripods, tries to aim the photocells at each other, re-attaches banana plugs to light cables, attempts to solder wires in Radio Shack project relay box, fixes Monitor printer paper jams, builds/repairs pushbutton box, replaces paper & ribbons in Chronomix timer, sets up Nanostation wireless access point, and someday needs to document all the tribal knowledge.

Results Generator – must be proficient with Excel VLOOKUP formulas. Decides which of 3 non-matching data sources to use as official results. Try to guess what the Race Director/Chief Steward’s creative penalties meant.

 Reward: Free lukewarm beer and almost warm track food Saturday night in the brand-new Cooper Pavilion by turn 1!! Usually receives a free lunch of mostly carb loading items (not very diabetic friendly). Typically receives volunteer swag at registration; sometimes receives “fabulous worker prizes” in T&S!
