The US Marshalls conducts
training classes on Saturday morning at 9:00 AM on LRRS Race
weekends.
Training is in the Media Center starting at 9:00 AM. The US
Marshalls offers training to anyone interested in learning
more about cornerworking. This can be someone who wants to
work, or someone who is just interested in learning what
those people all dressed in white really do. If you are a
rider and just want to review what the flags mean, PLEASE
stop by and we will review them with you. You do not have to
intend to corner work to come and learn about these things.
What do you get out of it:
- Safer track,
with more educated people to help you if you need
- Quicker clean up after
incidents reducing waving yellow time, possibly avoiding
some red flags
- Faster lap times by
being up close and watching the “fast guys”
- Free lunch
It is possible to race and
work:
Just let Race Control and your Corner Captain
know when you sign up for an corner what practice and races
you are in. Then come in before your race, and come back out
after your race – it is highly discourage to visit any turn
during your race!!
Check out this deal!
All Novices can receive 4 points towards
advancement for working a full day as a Cornerworker. Work a
corner that you have trouble with and learn by looking at it
from the other side!! This is a one time, 4 point deal. To
qualify you must work a complete day. You can work a 1/2 day
at a time -- one 1/2 day must be in the morning and the
other must be an afternoon.
If you want to continue working with the corner crews you
can be placed in the corner of your choice, and it is
flexible enough to fit the cornerworking around your racing.
.
If you become a regular we put you on the worker's list
which means you will get free gate entry on weekends that
you are signed up to work, lunch, and the opportunity to
watch any turn where you want to improve. Some positions are
paid positions, so if you sign up to work early, chances are
you will also receive compensation for your time.
See Laura or anyone in the Scales Garage in the morning or
at lunch for details.
