Fastrack Cornerworker's Guide

[zortness]

Corner Worker Preparedness: All corner workers should come to the event prepared to work and be on time which is 7:00 AM at all Fastrack Riders events. Never commit to working an event and not show up as it will be too late to find a replacement and a corner will be left open.

1. Wear only white clothing and hat.
2. Always bring a cooler full of ice and water or other refreshments and your lunch!
3. Use sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun and apply during the day more than once.
4. We no longer stop for lunch so corner workers must bring their lunch with them. We hire extra workers to give each corner worker a break during the day.
5. Always have a jacket and sweatshirt or extra clothing in the event it is cold. Also, get a cheap rain parka or something in the event it does rain so you don’t get soaked till we can get you in under cover.
6. Clean your corner station at the end of the day of all debris you carried out.
7. Return flags, radios, and batteries at the end of the day. Roll flags up neatly and place back into flag bag, take care of the radios, and batteries. Turn the headset mike piece up, not bend it up.
8. Do not put up anything in your corner area that is the same color of any flag.
9. Make sure anything you do put up is secure and will not blow away in a gust of wind.
10. Only the corner worker team and control will be on channel one so there should be little outside interruption or disruption.
11. No text messaging or talking on the cell phone while working in a corner. You must stay focused on what is happening on the track.
