Autocross WILL happen!!! Volunteers: Your schedule has changed!!! Check here!!!

[NEED-A-VETTE]

As many of you know, we had a last minute cancellation that threatened the viability of the autocross event. It looked like the event would not go forward.

Thanks to all the people who stepped up to volunteer, and also those that verified participation, the autocross WILL NOT be cancelled.

However...

There is a change in the autocross schedule for the volunteers. Volunteers that are helping run the autocross event need to be there at 8:00 AM, not 8:45 AM (as listed on the NCM online schedule). If you ARE volunteering, you will need to be there early to help with set up, get instructions, etc.

Arrival times:
If you are volunteering to help run the track = 8:00 AM
If you are a participant only = 8:45 AM (for driver's meeting)
If you're spectating only = Whenever...racing starts @ 9:00 AM

Here is a list of the people that have volunteered to help out so far (some are participants, some are not):


Datawiz
Simpleman68
RedLS1GTO
VetteBoy1979
Loco Vette
GRN ENVY
PortDawg



If you have any questions, check this (http://www.thevettebarn.com/forums/off-topic/34632-br-ii-autocrossers-please-respond.html) thread to see if we've already addressed it.

Thanks, everyone, for stepping up.

He's participating (http://www.thevettebarn.com/forums/668848-post30.html) in the event, but I'm not sure he's going to work the track. I'm sure he'll end up helping out, though. :D

:rofl:

Don't get greedy on me. Between the three of them, I posted like 80 pics of them all yesterday. :toetap: I think I'm fresh out right now, anyhow. Not really, I'm just being lazy. :leaving:

Be patient, though. I'll have more pics in a few months. All four of us are flying into AZ to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday. Julie from texas, Amy from Wisconsin, Sarah from Michigan and me from LA. (Sarah is the only one that still lives in the state we grew up in.)

No small children allowed. It's gonna be fun. ;) Muahahahaha. :D

Thanks for all this, Sandy!

I take it the NCM is insuring this event?

Who is the HMFIC?

Thanks for all this, Sandy!

Not a problem. I just didn't want to see it get cancelled.

I take it the NCM is insuring this event?

These are the answers I got yesterday:


NCM will provide all equipment.
At this point they do have a member of the Nashville Corvette Club coming to help us with the timing issues – IF – we have at least 10-12 cars participating.
It is still considered an NCM sponsored event – they have a very good relationship with Trace Diecast and they let them use their parking lot.
They will have NCM staff there in charge of the event so they have the liability and insurance issues covered.
In order to volunteer AND/OR run in the autocross, you must be registered for BRII.



When registering for the overall Barn Raising event, there was a release of liability waiver that everyone had to accept in order to register. The waiver covers all of the events sponsored by the NCM, including the autocross. Therefore, anyone that has not registered for BR has not agreed to the waiver, they aren't covered under the NCM insurance (for the events that they're running) and cannot race or volunteer.

Who is the HMFIC?

The NCM is in charge/taking the lead and just needs volunteers to help run it. I'm not sure of their level of experience in running the autocross, but it sounds as if they've done it at this location several times.
