YAPCWP - Yet Another Paid Corner Working Poll

[Kim Crosser]

There have been lots of issues raised about a lunch time track shutdown if we elect to use paid corner workers.

Last night, my wife suggested the following approach, which may solve several issues:

(Note - this assumes that IF we use paid corner workers, there will be an increase in the registration fee to cover the additional cost, and this fee will be around $10-11/event.)

We would have a sign up sheet at registration, where corner working volunteers can sign up to work corners during the lunch break. The first 10 persons to sign up would work corners and would receive a credit against future event fees in the amount of the corner working registration fee increase.

Benefits: corner workers get their break; the track stays hot; those who want to work corners and/or don't want to pay the increased fee can do both.

Comments are welcomed. (Duck... incoming )

PLEASE - no comments about "why do we need paid workers?", etc. That is NOT what this thread is about. Come to the March 26th AX and answer our poll questions - we are not making any decisions until we have taken a complete sounding of the AX participants. This is purely a sounding of a possible way to keep the track hot IF we use paid workers.

Wait, let me think about this...

If I don't like paid corner workers, I can save the extra fee and work during lunch. If I like paid corner workers I can pay my money and spend the whole day driving/relaxing.

Sounds like a pretty good plan to me. It will be real obvious how people feel then. If the lunch time corner working is overflowing, everyone wants to do it. If it is hard to find people during lunch, everyone wants paid workers.

Maybe we should also require first time students to cornerwork (or help cornerwork) and at least learn the basics of cornerworking and watching and learning from the cars on the course.
