  I'm working on plans for the MiDiv event that is just around the corner on June 2/3 and I need to fill some chair positions.  If you're planning to make the event and would like to help as a specialty chair please contact me.  I need volunteers in the following positions:

  1. Registrar - need this one filled right away.  You will need to be available at the event hotel (Salina Holiday Inn) on Friday afternoon around 4PM to set up and run the registration table and run it until around 8PM.  Then on the next day you'll need to register those folks who made arrangements for Saturday AM tech from 7-8:30.  You'll also need to handle the mail-in entries.  The best part of the job (besides getting to work indoors and greet everyone) is your work assignment is done before the event even starts!  The downside is you won't have a chance to walk the course on Friday afternoon but I will try to arrange the run order so that you'll have a chance to walk the course before you run on Saturday.  Otherwise I'll get you a relief person (probably me) for a while on Friday so you can go walk and grab some pizza.

  2. Chief of Course - your job will be to help the course designer set up the course on Friday and to set up the worker stations on Sat/Sun mornings and to help coordinate the course teardown (usually have lots of help with that).  During the running of the event you'll just need to have a radio and be available to help get broken cars off course and to bring oil dry out if needed.  I'll provide my Durango to use for that purpose so don't worry about using your competition car as a truck.

  3. Chief of Workers - you'll get to tell everyone where to go - work, that is.  You'll handle the worker check-in between heats and handle preparing/distributing the radios and log sheets.  It's an easy job that frees you up during each heat to watch/prepare the car/chat/sleep/whatever.  To prove how easy it is, I've done it several times and managed to not screw it up.

  4. Chief of Equipment - Your job is to bring the timing equipment, displays and radios from our region to the event, make sure they are charged up over Friday and Saturday evenings, and to help setup the timing and displays.  I'll get you some help (probably me) with wiring everything up in case you're not familiar with the connections.  It's easy.  You'll also need to haul the stuff home and get it to our storage trailer after the event.

  5. Chief of Tech - Your job will be to do the tech inspection of the cars on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning.  Again, you can finish your work assignment before the event starts.  I like this job because you get a close look at some amazing machines.

  I have commitments for the remaining positions (Event Chair, Safety chief, course designer, and Chief of Grid).  Anyone who works a Chief position won't have to work a corner.  If you're interested in any of the above positions please e-mail me directly at brian at fiberdynamics dot net (anti spam-bot version, replace the "at" and "dot" with the correct symbols).

  About the event.  After a couple of years of trial and error I'm hoping this event will be the best one we've done yet.  Of course there's the fantastic grip from the Salina concrete, but this year we'll have Joe Silva creating a course that will make the most of it.  Joe has done several fun courses at this site over the years so I'm confident the course will be great.  The concrete offers exceptional grip without being harsh on tires.  We're running a month earlier this year so hopefully we'll have nice weather and not triple digit temps like in the past years.

  Thanks,
