Workers and Marshalls
Volunteers are what makes RMVR tick! Pure and simple, there would be no racing without the fantastic job that our collective volunteers perform every race weekend. There are several different, important, and fun jobs performed by our crack team of workers and marshals.
If you are interested in helping, come join the fun. We can always use the help and workers always have fun. Maybe some of these all-important support activities would appeal to you. All you need to do is join RMVR, ask, and show up.
The great thing is that it's easy to get involved with this aspect of RMVR racing - Flagging and Communications, Pit & Grid, Equipment, Timing & Scoring and Tech are but some of the specialties performed by our able workers and marshals.
As to training you, we can handle it. Throughout the year there is fantastic on-the-job-training available every race weekend. Also, each Spring we conduct our nationally acclaimed Fire and Rescue School, more often referred to by twisted minds as our Crash and Burn School. All joking aside, it is truly an educational experience.
Information on some of the specialties is available below, and feel free to contact any of our chiefs of specialties for more information.

Pit & Grid marshals are in charge of the pre-grid and releasing cars onto the track. The first advantage to working Pit & Grid is that you can wear shorts if you want to. (In La Junta you’ll want to!) Next, we’ll give you a snappy Pit & Grid shirt to wear. The third advantage [...]
