Whoops, didn't mean for that to go out to the list (wish the "reply"
would go only to the OP and "reply to all" would go to the list).
Anyhow, if anyone has a vehicle they could offer for timing and scoring
it would be greatly appreciated. We've found that a RV works
exceptionally well. I also still REALLY need a registrar.
Remember if you want your reply to come to me directly, replace the the
WSCCA email address in the "To" field with brian at fiberdynamics dot
net.
Thanks,
-Brian

It would be fantastic if we could use it for timing but I'll try to find
an alternative.

Hi Brian,
Count on me for whatever I can do, which is pretty much everything
except where rapid hand writing is needed. I am on disability
retirement so time isn't a problem. I will be bringing the motorhome to
Salina but it is reserved for Carolyn. If she doesn't come however, and
if I can get a ride to this and that (I hate it when everyone forgets
that I'm out there!) then it could be the timing vehicle. In any case
it could be a pack horse to get equipment and stuff to Salina.

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,
-Brian Meyer
