Volunteers

Attention Drift enthusiast…. Evergreen Drift needs a few good people to help out with operations throughout the season! We are looking for volunteers help out in various positions before, during and after every Evergreen Drift event this year.

The schedule is listed at www.evergreendrift.com with two to three events every month!

Check the duties listed below and if there is something you think you would be good at, and you happen to have some dates free this season, please let us know!

To apply to volunteer contact Kenny (K.Murray80@gmail.com) prior to the event to sign up. If we don’t have any positions open we’ll keep your contact and you can check in before the next event.

Note for Minors: Due to insurance rules the minimum age for a volunteer is 16. All minors must have both parents/guardians sign a one time waiver good for the whole season. The minor form can be obtained at the Speedway Office (this can be done any time the office is open during normal business hours during the week. Call for details or stop by to sign the waiver).

Here are the main positions available. We like to rotate people between work assignments so no one gets bored or stuck at the back gate all event.

Crowd Control- People who end up here will be stationed at the pit/track border, and in the start finish area. Basic duty will be to keep spectators from wandering onto the track. You may also be asked to help with any track setup/cleanup that will happen before and after the event. You may also be asked to help out with staging, starting, or gate control if either of they people in charge of them need help. We should only need two people for this position.

Pit Gate Control- Duites are similar to crowd control except everyone who enters the pit gates must be checked and verified that they have the proper pit bracelet on. This position must be manned at all times during the event. This is an extremely critical job because if if anyone who didn’t sign the waiver gets hurt in the pit area we will likely never be able to drift at Evergreen again! Again you will be asked to help with setup/clean up both before and after the event. We only need one person a minimum of 2 and at times may need up to 4 volunteers for this position. We will rotate workers between gates and crowd control so you get a chance to be close to the action and not get bored.

Flagger- This is a real ‘working’ position. You are in the middle of the action. Basic duties include track reassembly (cone chasing) First response to accidents, fire extinguisher use if needed, helping with car recovery if there is an incident and general control of cars on the hot track if there is an incident. You will also be asked to observe for ‘issues’ cars on track are having (leaking fluid, hands out the windows, sparks, ect) Also you will have to keep those media folks from endangering themselves for an awesome shot. We would like to have two people on each turn station and two alternates in case anyone needs a break or if we have a turn station on the 5/8’s bank.

Volunteers will be compensated for their work by free admittance to the event. You must arrive no later than 9am and must be on the pre-registered volunteer list to be eligible for the free pit pass. Volunteers are the first to get in and the last to leave. You will also be expected to be available during the entire event for anything we need you to do to earn your pit pass.

This is an exciting way to spend a Sunday afternoon and help out your fellow drift friends. These positions need to be filled RAIN OR SHINE and if you sign up for an event we are counting on you to show up. Be sure to inform us as soon as possible if there is a change of plans.

Thank you to all our hardworking volunteers! We can’t drift without you.
