It takes more than 100 volunteers to staff a CRA race weekend! Everyone who volunteers receives complimentary admission, camping, lunches, a t-shirt and also earns points toward worker service awards. Did we mention they get the best seat in the house as well? You can’t get any closer to the action than standing on the edge of the race track!

There are dozens of different volunteer positions that you can sign up for. Below is a description of our most popular volunteer opportunities. For a more detailed list of all positions available, download the CRA Worker Brochure (found under the “Volunteer Information” section of our Forms and Documents page).

Flagging & Communications (Corner Working): 
Flagging & Communications, otherwise known as “F&C” for short, is the largest and most visible specialty at a race event. Individuals staffing this specialty are commonly referred to as “corner workers,” (or Corner Marshals in some organizations) and they relay information about track conditions or hazards to the racers during a race. In constant contact with Race Control via radios, they know what is going on all around the track at all times. NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED! The CRA Corner Worker Manual (found under the “Volunteer Information” section of our Forms and Documents page) is a great resource for information about how to be a corner worker.

Race Registration:
Individuals staffing this specialty process electronic entry forms, give racers their proper credentials, and create all of the starting grids for the races. This group of people works closely with Timing & Scoring.

Course Marshal:
Early risers, these individuals prepare and deliver equipment to the corner stations. During race hours they provide support to the corner workers and the track.

Timing & Scoring:
T&S for short, these people record the process of all bikes on the track during races by monitoring the timing equipment or, when needed, taping manually. This position offers an excellent view of the start/finish of races!

Tech Inspection:
Meet all the racers and their bikes up close and personal. Tech Inspectors are responsible for making sure all the race bikes and rider equipment meet the safety standards in the CRA Rule Book. An eye for detail and a handful of bike knowledge is necessary, along with a fair bit of patience!

Current available positions include:

• F&C Corner Workers
