Workers
It takes an enormous commitment of time and people to organize events like the Headwaters Rally. You can get in on the excitement and see the racing up close by volunteering as an event worker. We have openings for:
Course marshals: See the cars up close and at racing speeds by helping time the cars in and out of checkpoints, guarding access to closed forest roads, and assisting with spectator stages. For the beginning worker, this is a great introduction!
Ham radio operators: Get in on the race communications by transmitting vital information during the progress of the race to the control operator. Previous race experience is not necessary; just a willingness to help keep workers and competitors up-to-date.
Scorekeepers: Ensure that the times for completion of each stage are accurate. Championships have been won and lost on one tenth of a second. Mathematical ability is not required, just a steady hand on the watch.
Medical personnel: Although there has never been a serious accident at the event, we plan for emergencies with qualified rescue crews. Doctors, nurses, EMT's and First Responders are needed for the safety crews. You can work medical and another specialty too.
Course set up/take down: All the forest roads seen in competition need to be carefully inspected the morning of the event. You can actually drive the rally stages as you put up and take down banner tape that warns the general public the event is taking place.
Or, you can come and spectate, get familiar with the Headwaters Rally and be on our team for future years.
