Yes, it's that time again. There's an SCCA autocross this weekend, so
the time has come to put out the call for people to come early and
help set up the course.
Pros:
* You get the best parking spaces.
* It counts as your work assignment.
* You get to make sure that this Miata-driving rookie course designer
doesn't do something silly like back-to-back pin corners, or a 12
cone, offset, 45 foot spacing, curved slalom (with hills, no less!).
* You get to play with gypsum powder (make yourself look like a
Geisha!).
* You get to know the course really well.
Cons:
* None, really. OK, you have to show up at 7am, and you have walk
around setting up cones and timers and gypsum (oh my!).
We need about 10 people to help get things set up. I'm hoping someone
who knows how to set up the timers will be amoung those 10. But Katie
assures me that'll be no problem. BTW, it is true that her middle name
is Pollyanna?
Speaking of Katie, I'd like to thank her for volunteering to co-chair
this event, even though she's already chaired an event this year. I'd
also like to thank Nanda Holz for volunteering, and thus getting Katie
off the hook. Finally, I'd like to thank John Kelly for answering a
bunch of questions & giving me sage advice. With all the help We've
gotten from Katie & John, I'm sure Nanda & I can make this work.
