Road Racing Series Looking For Volunteers For New Season
COSTA MESA, CA, JAN. 19 – MotoAmerica is looking for a few good men. And women. With the new season rapidly approaching, MotoAmerica is seeking volunteers who want to assist the series and be a part of the action that is the 2016 MotoAmerica AMA/FIM North American Road Racing Series.
So would you like to help organize and run the 2016 MotoAmerica AMA/FIM North American Road Racing Championship? MotoAmerica will provide training, camping options, guest and parking passes, plus lunch on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at each event.
“Last year we had a great turnout of volunteers who helped us with our events in our debut season,” said MotoAmerica race operations manager Niccole Cox. “Like MotoGP and World Superbike, we use volunteers to help our staff and it’s a system that works well. We really attracted some quality people last year and we’re hoping for more of the same this coming season. It’s a lot of fun to work with the new people and see how much they enjoy working the races from the inside.”
Positions are available at all nine events for track, tire, and grid marshals, technical control, and registration staff. Here is a brief description of those positions:
* Track Marshal: Provides support with motorcycle recovery in the event of a crash or mechanical failure. The race director relies heavily on having a team of well disciplined and competent marshals.
