 VOLUNTEERING

VOLUNTEER (vol-uhn-tihr)


  1. verb; to offer to do a job, without pay.
2. adjective; Formed or made up of volunteers, as in Okeeheelee Bmx is a volunteer organization. Please Volunteer!

 Calling all Parents

Volunteering is very important to our organization. We can not rely continually on board members. They have kids that ride also and would occasionally like to watch them or maybe take a night off.


 WE NEED YOU!

We have the largest track in the country and we need volunteers to coordinate with those numbers.
If you would like to work in registration, knock on the door and ask...if you want to work in the snack bar.. Ira Soletzky or Bob "D"...we will never turn a volunteer away. We can always find a spot for you on or off the track.

 Some common VOLUNTEER Positions

1. Concession Stand: Handle food and money, make change and do some light cooking. You help run the store and bring in money for the track. The Treasurer is in charge of the Concession Stand.


2. Starter: Run the gate to start races and practice motos. You are a Safety Officer and watch for unsafe conditions on the track or improper equipment and control the number of riders on the track.


3. Stager: You have the moto sheets and call each moto up about 3 races before it’s their turn to go. You tell racers which lane they are in if they don’t know and check for proper safety equipment. You control the line up in the pre-staging area.


4. Corner Marshal: Four are needed on race nights. You watch for proper racing and flag the starter to stop the gate when a crash occurs.


5. Announcer: You announce who is racing in each moto, tell who is in which place, and make general announcements. You are in the tower.


6. Spotter: You help the announcer by keeping an eye on the number plates as the racers go by the tower and are the extra set of eyes in the tower during the race.


7. Scorer: Three are needed for race night. You write down the number plates in order of finish. It takes a careful eye when the riders are really close at the finish line. You determine the place for each rider at the finish line.


8. Runner: On race night, you collect the slips from the Scorers as each moto finishes and turn them in to the Head Scorer for the official record. Watch out for the bikes!


9. Referee: During a race, you are the person in control of the finish line. If a rider wants to protest a finish, you are the one they go to. You determine if the rider has a valid protest and may change the order of finish. You may rely on input from the corner marshals, starter, and the announcer to make a fair decision.

 


We also have need of your particular skills. Since we are a non-profit group, if you have a talent or skill that we might be able to use instead of having to pay for it...all the better. Computer skills, plumbers, carpenters, electricians, you name it..we can probably use it.

It's important to get involved. We don't REQUIRE it but we sure could use the help.


Please contact us if you can help!
