The EMRA 2014 racing season is a little over a month away!!! This year the racing will be taking place at the new Castrol Raceway road course. Since this facility is larger and all new it is going to take an even bigger group of volunteers to put on the same well organized EMRA race weekends. I will be organizing the group of volunteers that form the Race Organizing Committee (ROC) as well as volunteers for corner working and marshaling duties. The ROC group of volunteers is responsible for taking care of the day to day race operations. Without this hard working group of individuals the racing would not be possible. Last year I had a blast working with all the volunteers that came out. Every race weekend was well run, safe and organized. This year the EMRA is making an effort to keep and attract more corner worker volunteers. This is a less involved, slightly more relaxed way to volunteer and help out the club on race weekends. Once again there is NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED.
For volunteering you will receive:
-Free admission
-Catered lunch provided by Moo's Juice (http://mooshealthyfoodfast.com/)
-Free EMRA club membership ($40 value) which will get you discounts at most bike shops around town.
-Free year end banquet ticket for those working more than 3 full weekends.
-One Motorcycle Track Attack evening session if you work two full days. ($150 value, more info at http://www.castrolraceway.com/index.php?mo=pages&p_id=140) or a gift certificate from a local motorcycle dealership for one day worked (approximate value $40).
The positions I will be looking to fill are:
• RACE DIRECTOR
• CLERK OF THE COURSE
• REFEREE
• STARTER
• CHIEF COURSE MARSHAL
• PRE-GRID GRID MARSHAL
• CHIEF TECHNICAL INSPECTOR
• CHIEF REGISTRAR
• CHIEF SCORER
• CORNER MARSHALS
Of course as in years past, returning ROC members will have first dibs on their positions.
This is a great way to come out to the new track and watch the best motorcycle racing in western Canada from the best seats in the house.
A more detailed description of the ROC positions can be found on page 17 of the 2013 EMRA rule book, which can be down loaded here...
