That's right. It's 99.99999% official. We now have another MN club rally this year (and hopefully for years to come)!!! This will be a Coefficient 2 (I believe) club rally covering a little over 50 special stage miles. You can go to the Shooting Star Club Rally (http://www.scca-lol.org/rally/shootingstar/) page for more details. It is headquartered out of the Shooting Star Casino in Mahnomen, MN. When you go to the website you will find the tentative schedule, registration info (coming very soon) and hotel reservation info. If you plan on attending, please reserve your hotel room ASAP!!! We negotiated an awesome room rate.
It will be a single day event (like Headwaters) covering 4 stages. We need alot of workers!!!! I am actually doing the chief of controls duty on this rally. Basically that means I am in charge of the workers. I am the one who places the workers at their positions. We have a bunch of different positions for people to do. As always, there is absolutely NO EXPERIENCE necessary.
We will need people for:
Start/finish controls-
Starts the competitors down the stage or records the time they finish the stage. This position you get to meet the driver's and co-driver's up close and chat with each of them for a minute before they leave. It's an awesome site watching a 300+hp rally car dig into the dirt and tear off down the stage right in front of you. Or watch the competitor come flying thru the finish trying to get thru it that split second faster than anyone else.
Road Marshalls-
These are the people that are out in the woods at the major intersections. Their primary responsibility is to keep civilian traffic off of the hot stage roads. This is one of the most popular positions. These people get to see the cars going thru the woods at speed. You need to sign up asap to insure that you will get one of these positions.
Radio Operators-
Anybody with a ham radio license (amatuer radio operator with any class of license) are who we are looking for for these positions. These people relay messages to the safety Net Control from competitors, start/finish control captains, service locations, etc to make sure that they (The net cotrol) know what's going on out there.
Timing/Scoring-
Basically these people take the timecards and figure out who had the fastest times. These are the first people to know who really won the race before anyone else. If you have a knack for numbers, this is the position for you.
Medical-
This position helps aid in any medical emergencies that come up. People that sign up for this must be approved by chief of medical before the event. If you are qualified for this position, you can contact me and I'll get you in contact with who you need to talk to. Or you can go to the webstie and contact them through the rallymaster.
Sweep-
These people will drive behind the rally and pull out any competitor that has gone off the road. One of the requirements is a good 4x4 pickup or SUV.
Course setup/takedown-
These are the banner guys. They go out in the morning (around 10am) of the event and banner off the course. It's a fun job. You actually get to drive down the stages that the competitors will be racing on later that day! Then you get to go out the day after the event and take all of the banner down. This is the job I am in charge of for the other 2 rallies that are put on. This rally, though, I am trying something different.
Just remember, there is NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY. You will be out there with experienced rally workers that will teach you how to do it. It takes an incredible amount of help to put on a successful rally. We need all the help we can get. If you have any questions whatsoever, post here or PM me. I'll get the answers for you or will get you in contact with the person that can give you the answers. I hope to see a bunch of us out there.
