THSCC Forums

We're going to have a few vacant staff positions in '06 and with 4 events left this year, that gives us a little time to start recruiting and training. If you are interested in any of the following positions, please let one of the autocross VP's (autocross@thscc.com) know. After that, we'll try to arrange training as needed.

There needs to be some commitment on the volunteers part to actually attend most of the events (obviously we can't control family emergencies and the such).

Positions:

Registrar
Chief of timing (mostly this entails setting up the timer on event day, but also requires some troubleshooting of cables, dead timer boxes, etc).
Chief of Scoring (Todd would like to share this job next year)

For the last few years I've done the job of site coordinator and new site search guy. As the site coordinator / scheduler, I am the contact person that schedules all the site activities. This gives the site managers a single face/voice to communicate with. This job used to be the duties of the autox VPs and somehow I absorbed it over the years.

I now need to unabsorb these duties for 2006. I think there is value in having a single person to work with the site managers. It provides continuity and gives them a sense of stability. We also minimize the chances of two different people calling and bothering the site managers with the same requests. It is helpful for one person to develop a history for a site and the contacts there by being the single person the site managers deal with several years in a row.

I will not be doing the site coordinator job in 2006, just due mostly to time constraints. If the autox VPs want these duties back in 06, that's fine. But I think there is also room for someone that enjoys working with people, and has decent diplomatic skills to take this over. The site coordinator becomes "the face and voice" of THSCC to the site managers.

I am also happy to step down as the site search person in 06. My job, family duties, etc. have now begun to demand even more and something has to go. If nobody else steps up to the plate, I am willing to keep just the site search job for another year.... but.... I am truly happy to step aside and let the next guy or gal take that job over.

If you have questions about what these jobs entail, see me at a club meeting or an event.

Thanks Miles. I hadn't forgotten aobut you, but was thinking your job is unique enough that it should be recruited/railroaded separately.

Scott, does this job require that the person stay and put away the timing equipment at the end of the day?

That's a big ten-four, good buddy. But there's always a lot of help bringing it in and putting it away, so it usually takes fifteen minutes or so after the last car has run.

You need to allow at least forty-five minutes for setting up, as you'll occasionally have to troubleshoot miscellaneous equipment problems. I try to have the setup inside the bus completed before registration starts so I don't get in the way (those registrars are tough). Most of it is in pretty good shape now, as Shawn Whipple applied tender loving attention to the display, timer boxes and laser heads last year. Mike's got most of the bugs worked out of the wireless timer, although there is an ongoing problem with the transmitter module being put away with the power switch "on."
