Need 2 Gate Workers for Sunday. One for 7:30am and one for 8:30am. Please let me know if you can do this. Thanks!

I'll do 8:30.

Thanks all, I've got the gate workers lined up. Ryan - 7:30am & Christine - 8:30am.

Let me know if you are interested in grid or start. I'll get this arranged Sunday morning.

Also, some of us might need to work twice since it will be a very small crowd. I'll let you know Sunday if we need extra help.

I've never done start before but wouldn't mind giving it a shot- hopefully a non-points event would be a good time to learn?

I can help w/ either provided Todd doesn't need help in the bus. Todd, do you have everying thing lined up for T&S?

I haven't really made a schedule, or even thought about one for that matter.

What I did last year, and will probably do this year as well, was just have whoever wanted to see what the bus was all about, come by and pull a shift. This keeps people free to help out shagging cones and what not.

I figure that this is a fun event and should be for the bus people also.

If the organizers, Gwennie, want real results and accurate cone counts, let me know now so I can get something organized.

I think "bus noobs" can probably keep as accurate an account as we'll need. Plus, you may snag new bus dudes for next year. Great way to find new bus nerds, ah, I mean help for 2008 :!:

I'm most worried about very cold and wet at this point.

High of 42°

I might bail on that

Pansies! My first ever autocross the high was 40F and there was a constant 20MPH wind that gusted higher pretty regularly. And still I came back for more...

I've done an Evo school where the conditions were slightly worse than that first autocross, and included snow at times as well as wind so strong that it blew the entire course over a couple different times (even though many cones were double stacked!).

At the Atlanta Pro one year it was under 40F all day and RAINING LIKE HELL for most of it...there were places where water was running across the course over an inch deep during my work assignment.

Pansies!

How long have you lived in NC?

I can remember just as many times wearing shorts at Christmas as having to bundle up.

So? I ran at VMP a few years ago in a snow storm. The snow was blowing hard enough to accumulate in the passenger seat. All things being equal, I would rather have been at home

Dammit Jim, you let the cat out of the bag. The one thing I didn't mention about my three experiences were that I don't think in any of those cases I checked the weather adequately enough or I would have probably stayed home, too. I know that after each one I said "I'll never do *that* again." :oops:

I was just having fun calling them pansies. :twisted:
