From NRSCCA
Jump to navigation Jump to search

These work assignments are assigned by the Event Master, and the number of each one varies based on the number of heats and the participant count of the event.

Course

Course - Corner Captain

Number of Positions: 1 on each corner per heat

  • Corner Captain will be responsible for the radio and the red flag.
  • Corner Captains will call in missed cones or gates to Control, or flag the drivers to stop for a safety or mechanical issue.

If the Corner Captain is the only worker on the corner, they will also be responsible for resetting cones.

Course - Corner Worker

Number of Positions: 1-2 on each corner per heat (optional)

  • Corner Workers are responsible for resetting cones and reporting the number of missed cones to the Corner Captain, who will call it into Control.

Grid

Number of Positions: 1 per heat (optional)

Grid worker is responsible for keeping the drivers moving to start and making sure two-driver cars are threaded in so they don't fall behind. If we don't have enough workers, drivers will take turns on their own.

Starter

Number of Positions: 1 per heat

The Starter will keep in contact with Control, relay the number and class of the current driver to Control (if necessary), and start each driver on their run. Starter will keep an eye on the course and hold the start for safety or mechanical issues. The Starter will ensure enough time and space between cars to ensure safety and allow corner workers have time to reset cones.

Control (Timing & Registration)

Number of Positions: 1 per heat, or 1 dedicated Control per event

Control runs Timing and Registration at the Event.

  • Control will check-in all drivers in MotorsportReg, then export the driver list to Pronto to generate the event and run order.
  • Control will set up Live Timing for live results and/or post results if a printer is available.
  • Control will run the timing computer make sure it is in sync with the timing equipment.
  • Control will audit the event and send the results to the Pointskeeper (either by email or posting on Slack).

Event Master/Course Designer

Number of Positions: 1 per Event

EVM and course designer are often the same person.

  • The EVM will design and set up the course before the event. They may enlist help, but course set-up is not considered a work assignment.
  • The EVM will assign work assignments for each heat.
  • The EVM will work with Safety to ensure the course is safe to run.
  • The EVM is usually responsible for providing lunch (or enlisting someone to provide lunch) at the event.

Safety Steward

Number of Positions: 1 per heat

Safety Stewards are qualified by the SCCA to oversee the safety of each event. Each heat must have a dedicated Safety Steward (they cannot also be a corner worker or Control).

Tech

Number of Positions: 1 per event Tech inspects each car to ensure they are safe to compete.
