Thursday starts at 2 pm, morning volunteers need to be on site by 7:30 am and afternoon volunteers need to be on site by 12:30 pm. After visiting the Registration office (see the map below), everyone needs to visit the garage for work assignments. The best place to park is between the grid road and the track, this area is off limits for racer parking, but you need to stay back from the grid road.
NOTE: we need to 1 person per 5 cars on the grid, this means a LOT of people will be working grid.

Listed below are the areas, descriptions and a map showing where we need YOU!

Registration:

This happens 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 is also handled here and every volunteer must sign in every day here!

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 needed too. 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. This year like last the grid is behind the garage over by the turn 10 & 11 straight. The volunteer at the start of the grid tells the drivers their grid number. Volunteers along the way direct drivers into their grid slot or point them farther down the grid. 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 Pit 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.

At this time, it is thought that National Timing will handle the enduro pit timing and we do not have provide extra volunteers to do Enduro pit timing.
