17 2012 ZONE ONE CLASH VOLUNTEERS May 31st - June 3rd, 2012 Watkins Glen International, Watkins Glen, NY There is no better way to help support Zone 1, than by volunteering for this year s Clash at the Glen club race. Held at one of the best and most historic racetracks in the country, the Clash brings together club members for 3 days of fun and exciting racing, which you can be a part of. Volunteers are what enable us to put on one of the best club races in PCA. We encourage you, your family and friends to register as volunteers for this year s Zone 1 Clash at the Glen club race. Below are the areas and descriptions of where we need you to volunteer! Registration: This takes place at the Registration building, on the northwest corner of Watkins Glen, outside of the track. Everyone must stop here and get a wrist band to get into the track. Registration involves ensuring everyone signs the waiver. This is a very busy place Thursday afternoon and Friday morning. Garage Admin: This is the Administration of the race. Driver registration, hot pit passes, pullovers, copies, radios, race results from tower are faxed here for copying and distribution. Volunteer assignments and paperwork are also handled here and every volunteer must sign in every day! Tech Inspection: The job here involves working with the National PCA Technical Scrutineers. Cars are weighed, checked over for modifications, or problems. This is done in the first bays of the garage. Timing & Scoring: Although the race is timed and scored with computers and in-car radio transponders, a paper trail is also needed. Volunteers here write down the car numbers as they pass the start/finish line. This is done from the top of the tower where you can see most of the track and you are inside. Grid: All the cars are "parked" along the grid prior to the start. The person at the start of the grid tells the drivers their grid number. People along the way direct drivers into their grid position. This job starts BEFORE the race; you need to be at the grid at least 15 minutes before the start of racing! This position is LOUD and you also need to be alert for moving cars. Enduro pits Monitor: The job here involves working for the National PCA Scrutineers to insure safety in the pits during the enduro. The National Scrutineers will hold a meeting and review what they want this group to do. This group only works on Sunday. We ask that volunteers sign up to work for a full morning or afternoon session. The more sessions you sign up for the better the reward. If a volunteer signs up to work Thursday afternoon, they will receive a free ticket to dinner Thursday evening. If they work both sessions on Friday and/or Saturday they will receive a free ticket to that night s dinner (Friday and/or Saturday). If a volunteer works any three sessions, they will receive a $100 Zone One Gift Certificate. Work either session on Sunday and receive a Zone 1 Club Race jacket and hat. Volunteers can register on line at A paper registration form is available upon request from Aaron Ambrosino zone1clashregistrar@gmail.com, Please contact Jennifer Webb at jenniferbischoff@hotmail.com with any questions about volunteering.
