Hi Everyone~ First I want to thank all those who read about and contributed to the Worker's Revenge Chump Car project. It means a lot that drivers will help back us workers in our entry for the event. We're under a tight deadline, but it looks like our project will make it in by the skin of our teeth.
This email is actually a plea to see if we can get some of you to come down to Portland to work turns Saturday October 31 and/or November 1. I know, I know.... it's not driving... BUT we desperately need help with volunteers for the turns.
As Robbie Jacobson put it on pdxracer this morning:
"This is an 'all-hands' situation. At other 24 hour events, there would be three shifts of workers. Each shift would work its 8 hours and then be done. Right now it is looking like there will be only one shift of workers trying to pull this off. If you can only help on Saturday or on Sunday, great. If you're a night owl and want to work the wee hours, great. Dan Wilkins, the chief of flags for Cascade, can use everyone who is willing. Please contact him in advance so he will know that you are coming and can make plans for staffing the turns. The last I heard was that there were around 35 cars entered, ten more than for the 12 hour we just completed. Most stations have space for a trailer or motorhome near the station so that folks can get some sleep. The Chump Car folks are supposedly bringing a light system for the 'dark' corners (yellow lights and such) for flag conditions and that it will only take one person to run them. In my opinion, a second person is required to help keep the guy with the button awake. At any rate, if you can make it for even part of the show, contact Dan at djw212@hotmail.com "
So if you can make it down for all or part of the October 31 through November 1 event at Portland International Raceway, we could greatly GREATLY appreciate it. The event is 10 days away, so we can and will use everyone!!!!
