"• This is a volunteer based sport, in order to drive you must also work, those that don’t work their assignment both in the morning and afternoon will be banned from future events"
Is there a possibility of bringing in external workers (that are not participating in the events) and paying them for their time or giving them a gift card of X amount?
I'm sure most people attending these events wouldn't mind paying a bit extra to have the option NOT to work. They're not working because of some deterrent.
Some of the things that deter people from working are:
-Seeing other people sneak out to get food/gas without being penalized. Leaving events after their last run.
-When conditions aren't ideal and people aren't not dressed appropriately ... an argument can be made that they should've been more prepared but they weren't... they don't want to expose themselves to the elements (rain, strong winds, cold) (they're essentially being forced to deal with poor conditions or get banned from future events). Maybe give these people the option to leave for the day but not get banned?
-Lack of PPE (safety glasses, earplugs, gloves) There is a lot of dust that gets kicked up from passing cars in the YYC lot, even sunglasses don't do too much. Some of the cars were on the loud side (even with noise control that was going on). If stations workers are constantly getting dust in their eyes they want to get out of that situation, they wouldn't be incentivized to stand there. PPE would help.
-Standing/working at certain stations is riskier than others. Workers may not feel safe. Some people don't want to put their life at risk with a car coming at them while they reset the cone.
- etc etc. I'm sure we could go on with many things that deter people and find ways to mitigate them
My point being, no one should be forced to do something they don't want to do. At everyone's day job, people have the right to refuse work if they are put in poor conditions (subjective) or they feel the work is too dangerous (subjective). Why isn't this right extended to auto cross without consequences?
Maybe something like this was considered in the past and it was deemed unfeasible? Would it increase the event cost to an unsustainable amount if station workers were hired?

Selling my Honda S2000 AP1 (1999-2003) rims with brand new unused Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 (factory fitment). 2x Front: 205/55/16 2x Rear: 225/50/16 I purchased and mounted a brand new set of Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires. I ended up going with a different set-up and never had a chance to install these on my car. Tires are still in the tire bag. The tire manufacture sticker is still on the tire itself, tire has never been used. Price: $900 Link to pictures: https://www.kijiji.ca/b-calgary/honda-s2000/k0l1700199

Can't wait! Going to try and make it out to all the YYC events.
Will the "new venue" be in Calgary as well?

If you send me your motorsportreg account name, I can add your name to the reserved numbers in there. Of course, that only works if you use motorsportreg to sign up for events.
Thanks Murray! PM'd

What is the number? It may already conflict with one used by a member.
Reservation of a number is a bit problematic in any case. Our events are usually attended by members of multiple clubs, so there is almost always a conflict or two. It is always best to have numbers that can be switched around to make alternates. And always bring masking tape in case that fails too.
Number 70. It was the number that I used for the 2016 season.
