Volunteer Signup - MOWOG 1 & 2

[MNbiker]

MOWOG 1 & 2 are fast approaching, so it's time to get volunteers confirmed for event setup and operations positions. Please help us get all positions filled ASAP. For new members - most volunteers will sign up for work positions day of event. This is just for the volunteers required to get the event set up & running. :)

If your name is already listed, please confirm you will be at the event and able to work.

Please note - Friday setup does not count as a work assignment for the Saturday/Sunday events. However, the Saturday/Sunday jobs do count as your work assignment for that day.

Thanks!

Steve Garnjobst, Event Master

Both Days

[njbed]

I'll be there put Nic down for Registration on Sunday

[JCN]

I'd like to do the Novice course walk both days: Charles K.

If I do a poor job, I'll chase cones as penance. :oops:

Hey, something Steve said in a different thread reminded me to ask:
Can we borrow the walkie talkies for the novice walk and give a few to the people in the back who otherwise can't hear the person up front?

[engifineer]

Tech inspection both days for me.

- David Thompson

[J_Rex]

Random question:

If you're working the gate:
1.) how do you get registered if you're working the first shift from 7 to 8:30? Would you register after your shift or can you register before everyone else at 7?

2.) if you work the second shift, don't you miss the mandatory drivers meeting? Would having a friend relay info be acceptable to cover the meeting then?

Thanks

[evilpope2001]

Ben Haefner registration both days.

[MNbiker]

Charles,

You're in. Rather than loaning out radios just before we need them for the event, I'd rather split the group into a more manageable size. I have two of you conducting Novice walks - just split the group in half. If we need a third course walk leader, I'm sure we can talk someone into it.

Tech both days pls.
Daniil Manaenkov

[MNbiker]

If you're working the gate:
1.) how do you get registered if you're working the first shift from 7 to 8:30? Would you register after your shift or can you register before everyone else at 7? Workers starting early are checked in before registration opens.



If you're working the gate:
2.) if you work the second shift, don't you miss the mandatory drivers meeting? Would having a friend relay info be acceptable to cover the meeting then? Certain workers are excused from the drivers' meeting, including the late-shift gate worker, tech workers, and a few others. In the case of everyone except the gate worker, this is so they can get a course walk or two in before the event starts.


Please note: None of the pre-event jobs are ideal for someone new to autocross. If you're not familiar with how our events operate, and/or have concerns about memorizing the larger Valleyfair courses - then you probably shouldn't work one of the pre-event assignments. There are also plenty of work assignments during competition runs. Signup for these work assignments is done during onsite check-in.

[Treylizardo]

Matt Osborn

Tech both days

[Andres3165]

put me down for course set up both days

Andres

[914 Dave]

Novice walk and Driver Ed. both days, but you've already got me listed for this.

[G. Jay]

Tech both days please. Waiver is a fine back up if necessary.

Thanks.

[oldtoyota]

Tech both days for Chris Mosley and Keith Beumer. It looks like day 2 it will not be open they can grab cones.

[MustGoFaster]

I'll take a tech spot for 5/2.

[JKarsten]

I will be around friday for setup and I will do registration both days, Josh Karsten

[Teddy.B]

I'll do waiver 7:00-8:30 both days - Ted Blus

[RedlineToy]

I will take registration at mowog 1

[phile]

>Registration(numbers)--Phil Ethier

Please un-volunteer me for this. The Registrar can print up the numbers list off the forum.

[JCN]

Charles,

That sounds great!
We could even try an early and later coursewalk, if you thought it would work logistically. It might give uber noobs a chance to hear it twice (and limit getting lost, etc).

But I think dual coursewalk sounds like a good idea with the number of SI participants. You can't see or hear anything when the coursewalk size gets large.

Thanks!

[murph]

I can do registration both days.

[WhiteMamba]

I'll do the early waiver gate on both days if it is still open.
Kevin

[MAYcar]

Steve, I'll be there both days for Safety, you can add me in on Friday for course setup.

[MNbiker]

put me down for course set up both days

Andres

Andres,

We only have course setup positions on Friday. Can you be there on Friday?

Is there something else you want to do Saturday and/or Sunday?

[MNbiker]

I'll do the early waiver gate on both days if it is still open.
Kevin
I have you down for one of the days.

[porkbone]

I'll do general setup day 1, general setup day 2

[BCSlack]

I'll take a tech inspection spot on saturday and I'm willing to drive the truck back on sunday.

[speedyham]

I'll do Tech inspection Saturday and I'll pack the truck on Sunday. :)

Sean Ford

[MNbiker]

OK, the list should be up to date. Remaining jobs shown in red.

-Steve

[MustGoFaster]

I'll pack the truck on Sunday as well.

I might be able to help friday as well, but I work till 3:30 and wouldn't get there untill about 4.

[MNbiker]

I put you down for both. Getting there a little late isn't a big deal, as it generally takes a while to get ready, before we can actually set up the course.

[SmokingTires]

General setup both days!

I'm in!

[Andres3165]

I put you down for both. Getting there a little late isn't a big deal, as it generally takes a while to get ready, before we can actually set up the course.

I think you missed my post for course set up for both days;) Should have I said friday also? I am available too

[Chin]

All right then....cone shagging it is, on Sunday. That went quick.

Andres,

As I posted earlier, there isn't a course setup position on Saturday or Sunday. I'll put you down for Friday.

[MNbiker]

General setup both days!

I'm in!
I have you down for Saturday. You'll have to find something else for Sunday.

[CDeutsch]

I can do Tech Saturday

Christopher Deutsch

[rdub]

Randy Wiliams And Dave Bahl Both Tech
On Saturday

[Dan I.]

I'll do grid setup on Friday pm....
Dan Iverson

[MNbiker]

Almost all the spots filled up in less than 24 hours? Thanks for the excellent response!

I still can't believe no one has jumped on Phil's cushy Numbers Czar job. ;)

If someone already signed up to help out on Friday is willing to drive the truck over (Mark? Josh?) I can drop you back at your car after we're finished setting up and & have our traditional dinner & beverages at the Tin Shed on Friday.

[phile]

I still can't believe no one has jumped on Phil's cushy Numbers Czar job. ;)

Just to disambiguate:

What I am not volunteering for is working at Registration on MAC event days.

I'm still the Met Council Numbers Czar.

I still will do work on the MAE registration site for MAC in the period from the opening of the online registration until the day before the event.

How the Registration crew handles number issues on event day is up to them. MAC has kindly donated computer space on this forum for the list updates, so Registrars of any Met Council club can use the latest update.

Entrants can help save both the Registration crew and themselves a lot of hassle on event day by two simple actions:
1. Get a Met Council permanent number reserved.
2. Enter it on your online entry in the box marked for Met Council permanent numbers.
This will get your car number approved and entered into the timing computer. You can still do this for events for which you are already registered.

[MNbiker]

I knew that would get Phil going! :p

Let me clarify - the cushy Saturday & Sunday jobs only permit you to be the temporary numbers czar. (call it czar for a day!)

I'll do numbers both days.

Alan Halverson

[oldtoyota]

Chris and Keith won't be there on Saturday. You can open up those tech spots.

[Dan I.]

I'll take one of those spots...

Dan I.


ps. I'll still be there Friday PM

[MNbiker]

Folks,

We still have a few jobs to fill for MOWOG 1:

Drive truck to site on Friday
One Tech Inspector for MOWOG 1
Partially pack trailer after MOWOG 1

Lets get these filled ASAP!

[ChillyW]

I'll help pack the truck after.

- Erik Nelson

[JCN]

Can the truck be driven to the site at a different time / day?

I have to work Friday afternoon, but if no other takers I might be able to bring it Thursday evening or Friday morning.

[CDeutsch]

I'm probably not going to make Mowog 1 (too much going on Saturday), so another Tech spot on Saturday will be open. If we can't fill it, I'll probably show up and work it anyway since I need to stop by at some point in the day to pick up a part; but hopefully someone can jump in.

[TheHoboMan]

I don't work Fridays so I'll volunteer my time to fill whatever spots are needed. Just pm me the details.

How are your truck / trailer driving skills? :evil:

[TheHoboMan]

Limited, drove a trailer a few times. Just like driving but a lot slower.

[Dave Kral]

Steve - on Sunday, Lee told me that he would be driving the truck to Valleyfair on Friday. Has he told you something different since then?

Everyone: potential truck drivers have to be approved by our insurance company. Don't volunteer (or volunteer others) without being cleared.

I know. :) Wasn't sure how much lead time our insurance company would need and was feeling out potential options to get the job done.

If Lee is driving the truck, that's great. Otherwise, I can do it Friday morning and Ernest (Hoboman) can give me a ride back to my car. Once you're listed for truck driving, you're always listed, right?

[amarchant]

I have a class A, with air brake endorsment, let me know if the need arises, or if I should get on the "list" with the insurance co.

[73GT]

Yup

I'll be driving the Truck to the event and I hope I have better luck than Sean did last year;)

Andy: Find and talk to Dave Kral we'd love to have you on our insurance list.

Lee F.

[asujosh1]

Sign me up for one of the tech spots on Saturday.

[amarchant]

Thanks Lee, I will do that.

[MNbiker]

Okay, we're down to one volunteer opening - a Tech Inspector on Saturday (MOWOG 1). Can I get a volunteer?

Thx!

-Steve

[speedyham]

Yup

I'll be driving the Truck to the event and I hope I have better luck than Sean did last year;)

Andy: Find and talk to Dave Kral we'd love to have you on our insurance list.

Lee F.

You just had to bring it up didn't you! :lol:

That brings to mind- has anyone stopped by the truck to give it a thorough going over before it gets driven again?

Items that should be checked-

Oil level
Coolant
Windshield washer fluid (trust me- when you need this you REALLY need this)
Tire pressure
Lug nuts
Lug nut torque (not to be confused with the above)
Headlights
Turn Signals (truck and trailer)
Brake Lights (truck and trailer)

Other things I can't think of while sitting here?

If this has not been done I could meet someone at the storage site Wednesday or Thursday evening to go over everything (to check the lights you need a friend). Let me know.

Dave,

What is the process to get on the "list"?
