24 of Afton, Volunteers Needed Aug. 25 & 26

[TML]

Hey Everyone!

The 24 hours of Afton is coming up in a month and we will be needing all kinds of volunteers to help pull off the event.

Help is needed in the following areas:


Pre-Race - picking up / delivering supplies

Setup/Registration - friday afternoon, noon to 5 PM

Timing - 3hr shifts throughout friday night and saturday

Teardown/cleanup - Saturday after 5 PM


If any of these interest you, go ahead and post a response. We will be creating schedules and organizing in more detail soon. For now, we just want to get the word out and see who's interested in helping.

Thanks a ton!

--Troy

[Nooner]

hey troy! i'm not sure yet if i'll be around that weekend. but if so, i'd like to help out at the timing table. thanks!

[jjrsds]

Sign me up for some timing or whatever.

[destrago]

We talked earlier Troy but I'm in for setup/networking and the first few hours of running score table.

-Tony

[BKocka]

i may or maynot be able to do some registration. depends on if i cant get work off that friday.

but i need some more details.

[TML]

We need about quite a few people over the course of the event so post up if you're interested.

Everyone will get on the job training, so no prior experience is required.

Registration will open around 2 PM on Friday so those that want to work that, will have to take the afternoon off if you work during the day.

As I said before, more details will be coming.

[dopey048]

I might be able to help out before the start as I will be participating in the event.

[mara]

Please keep me on the list for "dark time" timing. I'll be patrolling as well, but can definitely fit in a shift or two as needed. If I can still walk after the event, I'd be happy to help with cleanup.

[iceskier]

You can put Gregg Stenzel and Travis Dahlen down for race timing Friday 4:30pm-7pm and Saturday 9am-11am.

Just out of curiousity, what time should we be there to start timing at 4:30pm?

4:30 is fine. We actually start the racers at 5. I've built in a little bit of time on the front end to get you oriented.

Thanks for volunteering!

The bidding starts at $50 to get those precious seconds knocked off of your time.....

[TML]

There's plenty of opportunities left to voluteer. Sign up, come on out and have some fun!

[BKocka]

alrighty....

my sister will come and help with registration. her name is Lindsay Kocka.

also put her and I down for timing from 1 am to 3 am, unless you think we shouldn't because neither she nor myself have ever timed a race before.

but if that is okay, then throw us down.

[Benjamin Severns]

I'll help with registration also, and if you need a single person to do some timing, I'd be down for that too,from 9 until 1 sounds pretty good.

[destrago]

Timing this race is really simple and tons of fun, I've been doing it for the last two years. All you have to do is type a 4 digit number in to the computer when riders go through the finish line. Scott and I will make sure that everything else is working.

yay ben! im so excited we will have such a good time! are you going to stay the whole race? if so, you can chill in my tent with my sister and i :D

[Benjamin Severns]

sure, I might as well, I have work in the morning, but whatever. Work doesn't require you to be fully concious, or however you spell it.

Well, I'm not racing this year, but there is no way I'm going to miss out on the fun. Put me down for 3am-7am. I did that 3 years ago and it is pretty much the best shift ever.

[destrago]

Scott,
Since it's open just put me in for timing all the way through from 4:45 to 9:00. I'll be there anyway, may as well be useful.

-Tony

[syntaxjunkie]

I'll be there from Friday afternoon through the evening, manning the MORC tent and generally making myself available to do odd jobs. If the spirit moves me in strange ways, I might even stay overnight.

If anyone else feels like spending some time at the MORC tent on Saturday, let me know. Basically, the tasks involved include watching the race, being sociable, encouraging non-members to sign up, passing out newsletters, accepting membership contributions, and maybe even selling a few of the new t-shirts (designs to be posted soon).

[Thewavebb]

My wife is having a "girls day" so I am game all day saturday for helping out. I'm planning on coming out friday night after work (7pm) and chilling/shooting pics/helping out where needed. Where do you need me?

9-11am and 3-5:30 for timing?

[Thewavebb]

Count me in :banana: :banana:

[Thewavebb]

Also...Does anybodyknow what the rules are for taking photos? I am planning on shooting some thoughtout the entire event. do you think I should call ahead?

~Ben

[steef]

I'll take on the remaining 9-11am and 3-5:30 for timing.

[BKocka]

alright so here is the question...

do i need to be there at 2 or 2:30 tomorrow for registration.....?

one post says 2, another says 2:30.

[manual63]

I will be doing patrol most of the time. I can also be available to do some other stuff if needed. Also, I will be around to help tear down at the end.

I might have issues with my ego all weekend......because I think I am going to have to be BikerFox for Halloween this year.....:embarass:

[nigel]

alright so here is the question...

do i need to be there at 2 or 2:30 tomorrow for registration.....?

one post says 2, another says 2:30.

Just come at 2 to be safe. I'll be there around 12 or earlier with others so you wont be alone. Registration will start around 3 if that helps but early would be better so we can get everyone ready.

D

[jeffgude]

Plan on me for end of event and teardown, work stuff will limit my time at Afton this year.

[Burke]

It's go-time. See you all out there!

[waitabit]

A huge thanx to all the volunteers, you are the best, all of you, it was an awesome event.

[wildkona]

Yup we appreciated all the hard work that it takes to get an event like this rolling. All the volunteers, the trail builders, the land owners and the sponsors. I got some pics, will be posting them in a few days, how bout you Mike, we'll see yours soon to I hope. At least we didn't finish last. Next year I hope to be in better shape baring any injuries and be able to actually train for this event. :etard:

[waitabit]

check your e-mails Josh.

[superfastaction]

Yeah... thanks to everyone who made that race happen!!! The trail rocked and everyone involved was friendly and helpful. I've posted some pics from the race below. More to come...
