> Here it is... Right now, we stand a chance of breaking even. It's a fairly slim chance, but we're getting closer. I believe that if people participate in the dunk tank and the Poker Run, we may actually pull this off. > > Here's what else you can do to help... > > We need volunteers. If we get people to volunteer at the track, we save money. It's that simple. If poeple don't volunteer, we have to pay workers. The positions aren't optional - they NEED to be filled. The more we fill, the less we pay and the closer we are to having an NG10. > > Here's what I need... > > For the road course, we need four corner workers. The event is 6 hours, so if you could volunteer in two- to three-hour increments, that would be great. The more volunteers we get, the shorter the commitment would be. I'll work the gate so no one has to miss the races if they don't want to. Each corner worker saves us $16/hr. It adds up. We could also use one flag man at the same savings and the same length of time. > > For AutoCross, the racers all work when they're not on the track, so we're good to go there. > > For Drag Races, we need a starter, someone to hand out time slips, someone to operate the water box, and someone to handle staging (Marshall, are you planning to do this part?). Again, we can hire someone from the track, but each person would save us $16/hr. The event is 4 hours. Anyone who handles time slips would have to not care about missing most of the event. I figure we'll need to hire someone for that job. The rest of them are front and center and would see the races. PLEASE... Help us out here. Again, I'll handle the gate so no one else has to. > > If you're willing to help out, or a significant other or guest is willing to help, please just respond here. I do have a few people who have volunteered for general assistance, but I wouldn't assign these jobs, so they'll be utilized for registration, caravan assembly, helping with the Poker Run, stuff like that. > > We could also use a few people who might be willing to hand out Poker cards at select locations, in case we can't get the establishments to cooperate. You can sign up for that here, too. > > All-in-all, having you guys volunteer could be the difference we need here. And trust me when I say this... You really WANT an NG10. > > While I won't tell you where it'll be, it'll be announced at the banquet, as usual. I expect the building to be a bit... loud... if we get to announce it. If we haven't broken even at that point, we'll announce the end of the NG's. I hope you'll help us announce NG10 instead. >
