Yesterday at the midday drivers' meeting I made an announcement that
tech workers should show up very early (suggested right when prior run
group started) and it actually happened! There were people teching
without even checking in first. It worked for each run group in the
afternoon. This also lets them get their work assignment done earlier
so they can either leave earlier or have more time to get ready.
Either way would work well: have them show up early, or just assign
them to the next run group per Carl's post. Either way someone
independent will have to fill in for groups 1 and 5 as Carl mentioned,
though 5 is usually lined up at the end of 4 and we could just have a
group 4 worker stay a little longer to do it. I think Carl's idea is
probably best. If we just make it standard to do it that way it would
probably run smoothly after a couple events.
I may have missed the discussion, but did we dismiss the annual sticker
concept? This would easily cut the number of cars to tech on grid in
half or more. And hey, we could get EVERYONE teched for the year at
BOONDOGGLE!!! (duck) Just kidding Katie :P
