Street Survival HELP NEEDED! Friday Setup, Saturday Course

Hi all -

As has been mentioned at the club meetings, the BMWCCA is holding a Street Survival School this Saturday at the Raleigh Police Training center. THSCC is providing course and equipment support, and I need some help!

http://www.streetsurvival.org/streetsurvival/

Please volunteer some of your time to help this group of 15-21 year olds learn some VITAL skills to make them safer and more aware drivers on the road. We all know about the problem, now you can DO something about it!

This Week
Need one person to volunteer to get the bus and trailer from Kevin's place to the Raleigh PD site before Friday. Call me for details about how to get in, where to park, etc.
Jeb Brookshire - Thanks!

Friday Setup
Need 4+/- people for setup starting at 10am on Friday. I will have a detailed course map and the trailer should be there. We will be doing some testing of the elements but nothing too crazy.

Saturday Courseworkers
If possible I would like to make sure we man the course with experienced autocrossers who understand the risks of moving cars, and know how to handle the radio and flags. I would like to have at least 6 people in the morning (from about 8am to noon) and 6 in the afternoon (1-4pm). If you can do both great.
Morning - Meeting @ 9am at SHELTER

Afternoon - Meeting @ 12:30 on COURSE

Please post here and let me know what you can help with! Thanks!

I'll definitely help with the setup on Friday am and pencil me in for Saturday am coursework.

I could drive the bus out there Wednesday, unless it is too early....

I got the email from Mark to instruct, but heading out to Charlotte on Saturday, but glad you posted about needed help on Friday. Be glad to help, happen to be off that day. I'll see you at the training center at 10a.

thanks for posting the info....

I don't know if you could call me experienced, but I can course work Sat. afternoon. My wife, Ashleigh, can also help. She has been to several events and knows to pay attention and so on.

Friday could work.

Thanks everyone! Need a few more hands -- see the first post. I'm not sure but I think you get lunch and possibly some goodies out of it.

It's crunch time.

Since this is a very worthy cause (and it helps to get in good with a potential site), our club Pres has authorized me to offer

A FREE autocross entry to anyone who will work course for both a morning and afternoon shift!

Oh and you may help save a life or two in the process

Please help!

I'll be there on Saturday AM & PM. Do you need Friday help also?

THANKS Bernie!!

Feel free to come help on Friday, could use an extra hand. Don't feel obligated though. Definitely need you Sat though.

Thanks Rob!

We've now got enough people. Anyone else interested in coming by to watch or see what's going on or to check out the site feel free!

I will be sending some further info out to all the courseworkers by email later today -- stay tuned.

Mike I just had a doctors appointment rescheduled for friday at 1200 pm at Duke, I'll see if I can get there in the afternoon, if you still need help. I imagine I could get there around three, by the time I get home and changed.

Hey Mike,

I can help out in the morning if you need me.
