Your Role and Responsibilities:

PUNCTUALITY – Safety crew members MUST be punctual and arrive at the race track early and be unpacked and ready to go at 6:30AM for the safety crew meeting and to receive assignments for radios and corners they will be in charge of. Camping is also typically an option at most racetracks.
CLOTHING – You should wear white clothing (blue/black jeans are okay, white painters pants are preferred) and comfortable closed-toed shoes (you’ll be standing a lot). No bright colors – no yellow, orange, pink or red clothing especially.
COMFORT ITEMS – We suggest bringing a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen, too (and allergy medication if you need it). You can bring a folding/camp chair so you can take a break (when the track is cold only, no sitting while the track is hot).
SCHEDULE – We can’t lie about this – the days are long and we pay per day, not by the hour. You will need to arrive and are part of the safety meeting at 6:30AM, then the track goes cold (races are over) at about 5PM. At track layouts where we use Air Fencing, most of the safety crew helps break down the soft barriers (airfence) as well. Airfence pack-up happens after the track goes cold. Helping with airfence setup on Friday evening adds $25 extra in your pay.
POSITIVE ATTITUDE – We are looking for team players that will lift others up and are serious about racer safety.

Two Levels of Crew Members:

There are two levels of pay based on experience and commitment to the season schedule:
- Associate Crew Member – new hires that are basically in training.
- Official Crew Member – must work four or more events per season (includes Race School).

Positions We need Filled:

Our goal is to increase our roster size and train new members so that we will develop an entire team of Official Crew Members.
This requires having a safety crew roster with some depth so that we can fill spots when folks are not available to commit to a full weekend.
For these reasons we are looking for crew members for all positions.
