Volunteer

Granny Gear Productions is really excited to present the 2006 season of 24 Hour Racing! This year's race season is going to be better than ever. The excellent volunteer staff that we've had in the past has been the cornerstone of our success at these 24 hour races. We hope you can join us again this year.

Here's a brief description of the various volunteer jobs available. Choose the one that best suits your talents or interests. Also, keep in mind that there are different shifts, so if you're a night owl, you may want to work the graveyard shift.

These are jobs that will be ongoing throughout the entire event. These jobs will require that you be very familiar with the AMTRI Rules and Regulations.

Being a Registrar is a great way to get a front row seat! Registrars are assigned two to a table, so grab your pals and sign up today. Space is limited, so don't delay. This is one of most exciting and challenging jobs. These volunteers will log in racers who are starting their lap, and will log out racers who are finishing their lap. Registrars will also be responsible for recording the times of each rider's lap as well as supervising the RFID scanning process. This is a critical job and it comprises the largest number of volunteers.

Here's a little preview of the log sheet and an explanation on "How to be the Most Excellent Registrar." Print off these vital pieces of information and get a head start before you get to the race. Most of the answers to your questions are found in these documents, but if you have questions after you've read the information, give us a call. We'll be happy to help!

Course Marshals

Volunteers will be positioned at various places on the race course, to ensure that riders are healthy and happy, and to maintain crowd or traffic control. You will maintain radio contact with EMS and Base Station.

Shifts:

Shift I: 11:00 a.m.-6 p.m.	Saturday	Start
Shift II: 6 p.m.-12:30 a.m.	Saturday	Evening
Shift III: 12:30 a.m.-7 a.m.	Sunday	Graveyard
Shift IV: 7 a.m.-1:30 p.m.	Sunday	Early Bird

Plan on being at your station 15 minutes prior to the start of your shift for training and plan to stay 15 minutes after your shift ends so you can train your replacement.

To show our appreciation to our dedicated volunteers, Granny Gear Productions will provide a commemorative T-shirt and a meal ticket to those volunteers who complete one full shift. Please let us know which job(s) you would like to sign up for during which shift(s). Granny has "something special" for those volunteers who pull double duty! We ask that volunteers be at least 18 years old and please leave Fido at home. Fill out the sign up form, call us at (304)259-5533, fax us at (304)259-5596, or you can
