Pit & Grid

Return to Workers and Marshalls

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. Pit workerThe third advantage is you don’t have to stand in one small area and wave different color flags around in the wind, so you don’t have to remember what the colors mean.

Pit & Grid workers also help ensure driver safety by checking each driver’s safety belts (are they tight?), gloves, eye protection, helmets, and arm restraints. Sometimes they forget (duh!). These are the first things to check for on each and every car prior to allowing cars on the track.

Pits & Grid offers a unique perspective and different view of the races and members of RMVR. If you can help, contact Chad McCabe.
