OMR Divisional Worker Chiefs - Volunteers Needed!
Posted: Wed May 06, 2009 8:43 pm
Ozark Mountain Region is two months away from hosting one of the biggest events in the Midwest, and likely the biggest ever held by the region. Right now we're looking for volunteers, people who will take on a special work assignment to really make this happen. Drivers will be coming a long way on a hot Summer weekend, and we want all the help we can get to make sure they have a good time.

Midwest Divisional Event #3
July 11-12, 2009
Crowder College, Neosho, Missouri
If you'd like to read it, the MiDiv has an operations manual that is the basis for what I've outlined below.

Event Chairman - Jim Rowland
Course Designer - Jim Rowland
Safety Chief - Bobby J.
If you are SSS certified, you probably have a notion of what this will require. We will definitely have junior karts running and youth stewards on hand. It's also a big site bordered by an access road along one length, and word of mouth may bring us some additional foot traffic over a regional. You will work with the other safety stewards each heat, as well as grid and the course designer and course chief.
Registration Chief - Matt L.
This role will start as soon as we open up registration online. You'll work with MyAutoEvents, and organize any snail mail entries that may come in. People will start filtering in Friday afternoon, and you and your help will check them in, and give them the information they need to know. You'll also coordinate with the Chief of Workers on no-shows so that worker roles are covered.
Worker Chief - Scott C.
Signs in workers every heat, and guides and points them in the right direction. You'll also be working with the registration chief and Donna on managing no-shows. Everyone needs to stay hydrated, alert, spread out, and safe, and you'll be helping make sure that happens.
Chief of Course - Korry B.
Needs to be available Friday afternoon, July 10, for initial setup, then Saturday afternoon for revisions on setting up Sunday's course. Will be working with me on corner station setup, course marking, and crowd/traffic control tape, barriers, etc. This is an important job due to the nature of the site. Safe, efficient traffic control will be the #1 operating concern for this event.
Chief of Equipment - _________
This is the single point of contact for timing, speakers, radios, and any other gear that needs to be set up and kept running. There's going to be overlap here with various people, but we'll be busy and need someone to be in charge and own it. Being available to make Wal*Mart runs if necessary also a plus.
Chief of Grid - Justin H.
Grid and access lanes will be part of my course design, but ultimate operation is up to you - you'll own it. We'll have multi-driver cars, karts, and lots of entrants, but lots of grid help each heat. The divisional will also feature impound, and the grid chief will provide results to the classes at the end of the day's runs.
Chief of Tech - Sam H., Bob H.
Sam has put his name in the ring for this, and we will be looking for a couple more people to help. We'll need people from mid/late afternoon through evening to tech cars at the site as entrants arrive. We also may have some Saturday stragglers who will need to be tech inspected first thing Saturday morning. You'll not only make sure the cars are fit to run, but that everyone is running the appropriate divisionals decals.
Novice Mentor
Most everyone at the event will have autocross experience, but a few may not. A fair number of entrants will have never competed beyond a regional event, either. We are encouraging anyone who is a SCCA member to enter and have fun, and you will help coach in whatever capacity someone may need help on. No one has a bad time for not knowing what to do.
Additional volunteers
Here we're reaching out to everyone, including regulars, non-autocrossing membership within OMR, and spouses, friends, kids, and anyone willing to help. For example, registration, hospitality, and Saturday evening's banquet setup. A lot of people from many different places will be seeing this site and our region for the first time, and they need to be a shown a high degree of organization.
If you can help, please let me know!
