At our most recent membership meeting we had a good discussion on workers for our Road Racing program at Heartland Motorsports Park and the Ozarks International Raceway and what we could do to get a few more people involved, mostly for working corners.
Working corners is a great experience with some wonderful people. It’s the closest you can get to the action without actually being in a car and you can see up close some really stellar driving and of course, sometimes some not so stellar driving.
We have incentives for our workers but it was pointed out by Jeremy Salenius that few people knew what those incentives were and there wasn’t any list anywhere with everything we offer. Following is a list of what we offer to work a day or weekend at a road race. As you can see, it’s fairly significant.
