Are you looking to get into racing or help out the racers from an up close position? Then corner working for a WMRRA event is just what you should do! And it just so happens that this weekend May 13th and 14th we are racing at Pacific Raceways in Kent. No experience required, we give you training before each day's race program gets underway.

If you’re interested in joining us for one or both days, please reply via email (corner.captain at wmrra dot com) and I will get you the weekend gate codes so you don't have to pay the gate fee. That email generally comes out the Friday morning before the event.

For some added incentive I'd like to offer Volunteer Corner Workers a FREE Taste of Racing session. Work one day get one TOR, work 2 days get 2 TOR's. Good for use anytime throughout the season at either Washington track.

For those of you who haven’t volunteered yet:

We provide hot coffee, tea, water, breakfast, snacks and lunch!

Here is what the race day will look like:

6:30am : Join us for a hot cup of coffee (or tea) and grab some breakfast! Sign up for your favorite corner or explore a new side of the track you haven't seen before. Pick up your radio and safety gear.
7:00am : Corner Workers Safety Meeting - Here you will learn about flags, radios, what to do in an emergency, and updates on what's going on trackside.
8:00am : Riders Safety Meeting - All Corner Workers listen in on the Riders Meeting to get a better feel for the days schedule and any important information.
8:30am : Grab some water and snacks (we provide these too!) and head out to your corner.
8:45am : Walk your piece of the track to ensure that it is ready for its big day. Make sure you have all your safety equipment, and get ready for an exciting day in the best seat in the house.
12:00pm - 1:00pm : LUNCH! We provide lunch and beverages too!
After Lunch : Stock up on waters and head back out to your corner. You're welcome to talk to the Corner Captain if you want to switch corners after lunch.
4:00pm - 5:00pm : Shutdown. Bundle up your flags and head on in to drop off your radio and vest and stop by for a cold drink! (Adult beverages and / or cold sodas provided)

**Please dress properly for the weather. Wear shoes that are comfortable for standing, running and will protect you on the track (sneakers, boots, etc are okay. flipflops are not). Wear long pants and bring a pair of riding or gardening gloves if you have them. Please do not wear any red clothing - unfortunately this looks too much like a "red flag" and is a safety concern.

You may want to bring a chair to relax in in between races, also sun screen.

Please feel free to forward this and bring your friends and family

If you have any questions at all please don’t hesitate to contact me directly!

We look forward to seeing you at the track!
