    So, time to start rounding up some people starting with Talladega February 11-12. There is a per diem to help with expenses. If you're interested email me at [email protected] and I'll pass your information on to Emily.

    Thanks!

    ^ guy is on the right path. lots to learn by watching 100s of bike going through a corner. i used to flag often. pick a corner youve had trouble with or one known to make or break lap times and observe closely. T1 on the first lap is sensory overload!

    ive done several pro events and testing aswell and had some of the biggest names in racing approach me and actually ask me about my observations on that corner and give their thanks sometimes, suspension gurus asking for input too, got to know the best photogs in the bz and even got hooked up with speedvision back in the day from cornerworking.

    help with the airfence if you can also.

    thats the inflatable protective barriers that John Ulrich of Road Racing World started for us that is strategically placed in front of hard immovable objects around the tracks to minimize the racers risks of injury or worse.

    it takes time to set up and take down prior to and after events. things may have changed since i last corner worked but they used to ask the flaggers and other crews for help with it.

    I'll cornerwork Putnam when WERA is back there again. :Poke:

    But seriously, i wouldn't mind doing this a time or two if things were a bit closer.

    I'm having a corner worker class this Wednesday night at my shop in Adairsville, Georgia. Address is 1002 Poplar Springs Road, Adairsville, 30103. SO far we have a bunch coming. We will go over the different flags, discuss duties and situations, and try to answer any/all questions. We will order some pizza in too and start at 6:30pm. If interested let me know [email protected]

    This is not an advertisement for product or services. There is no cost involved for any attendee (hopefully this isn't deleted by Mongo)

    Probably not. Am I breaking some sort of rule again? I was asked by Emily to help provide corner workers this coming weekend.

    I am sponsoring a well known rider and have been asked to participate in an interview. I can assure you if asked about WERA I will not respond in a positive way about administration.
