Re: Volunteers - April 2017
Oddly enough, I still have a Youth Stewart license. Which I have in case there is literally no one else that can do it just so the kids can run. If someone else more involved in that group can do it, it would be better. Otherwise I can fill in.

If you do Yutes Tom, I believe the only parents would be David Barrish, Robert Baltazar, Mike Nakata and Will Kalman. Robert, Mike, and Will are very experienced and can help with how we have been separating grid, spacing the karts, and the latest high points in tech.

Re: Volunteers - April 2017
Which is why I don't mind doing it. Everyone knows what to do. I just get to be the name on the form. But obviously I do take the job seriously and would just be the eyes for any potential problems....Steve Ekstrand wrote:If you do Yutes Tom, I believe the only parents would be David Barrish, Robert Baltazar, Mike Nakata and Will Kalman.

Re: Volunteers - April 2017
You have to push those that know what to do to do what they know. ;)
I also check each kart briefly for the main safety items.
Come up with a way to isolate grid so we don't have to shut down.
Help the starter with spacing.
Make sure each kid knows how to turn off kart engine. And where to go after finish. Remind them to turn tight circles towards the course if brakes fail or throttle stuck.
Then its common sense Safety Steward mentality. I'm looking for dangerous objects near their path finish to start or in pull off area near start. I will sometimes cone off the motorhome if their path is too close to those bumper corners. Bad height for a karter to catch. And I've seen Robert "apex" the motorhome.

Re: Volunteers - April 2017
OK....I talked with Seb over the weekend and here's where we are:
In order to secure the insurance we need the following positions:
Event Chair: Randy Gonzalez
Safety Steward: Sean Fenstermacher
Youth Steward: Tom Tanquary
Chief of Gate: Kevin Pao
In order to have a smooth running event we need following positions:
Course Designer: I'm working with course design committee to figure out what the plan will be with most of the committee going to Crows. Adam is first for consideration.
Chief of Registration: I'm going to also work with the board to get the right people in this spot for Saturday and Sunday.
Chief of Workers: Matthew Gonzalez
Chief of Tech: Jason Swindle
And for all the other folks that have thrown their name out, I'll have the individual Chief's reach out to you as necessary to get their positions staffed for the day.
Thank you all for stepping up. We'll be reaching out soon.

Re: Volunteers - April 2017
I would be interested in "shadowing" whoever does course so I'm better prepared for another time around. Or if there is just an information packet I can read over for future reference.

Best to be read before your first course design. And then again after so the nuances suddenly make sense.
