Hey everyone!

Texi is on Jan 31st, and like always we need helpers on the day to do things like timing, end gates, "3 2 1 GO!", marshalling etc - basically all the things you saw myself and the legends who helped out last time doing

None of the jobs are hard at all, its an easy way to get up close to the action.

A couple of people have already offered to help out, who did so without knowing there would be payment; What legends! (and yes, they'll be paid now)

I do need helpers onsite from 830am until event ends which should be 445pm. There will be a lunch break around 1230pm while the courses are changed to the afternoon courses

Lunch and drinks will be provided free throughout the day.

Yes you can choose what job to do, here's each one;

- "3 2 1, GO!"

Counting down the time so drivers know when to start their runs. Very simple, just need a loud voice and 3 fingers to hold up

- "Timer"

Timing each run and writing down the end time on a form provided. Also if someone goes a wrong direction or hits a cone, taking note of that.

- "Marshall"

Ensuring the flow of cars onto and off the track stays smooth. Its basically a traffic controller job, making sure the entry to the skidpan (single lane) doesnt have a traffic jam and that the next car is ready to have their run. Common sense really!

- "End gate"

An official who mans the end gate of a course, reports if an entrant hit a cone, and once the entrant has come to a complete stop will move a single cone out of the way for the entrant to move to next course

I need;

2xtimers

1xmarshall

1xend gate

1x3 2 1 GO

So far the following have offered (sorry if someone offered and i missed it);

MsNismo (Timing)

Xmetal

BezerkR32

So we need a few more - who can help out and earn some coin for the day? :(

If my car breaks on Thursday I'll scream 3 - 2 - 1 - Go, or traffic control and even if it doesn't break, gimme a job as I said to you a few weeks ago in PM.

Uncy Duncs and all the others managed to get runs in last time, so I'm pretty sure I can manage to if you gimme a job,

i was going to bring my camera up hoping that you might be able to learn me some stuff.....

I'm always up for it Steve. I can hand my camera to someone else for a while if you need another set of hands. :banana:

hmm seems there's enough people willing to volunteer

I'm not fussed either way, just if needed I'm happy to free up a spot for someone who wants in if it gets full & then be a marshall

If not I'll just have to show these skirts how to texi :P

hey ill be more then happy to do anything on the day for the club, not sure as to how much help i would be but if i can run a store im sure i can time or countdown or do little jobs for you guys! as long as i get to see some skylines!

i was going to bring my camera up hoping that you might be able to learn me some stuff.....

For sure! I don't mind doing tutoring on the day. :huh:

Eric! I'm wanting to have a go at motion picture too so yeah i'll do some footage time as well. ;)

I would have thought more peeps would take up Steve-o's offer of 50 buck each,,,hell I'm thinking about it and with back pay I'll be owed about $2000.

Are you paying us cash mate or are you using your cheque book?.

Everybody Steve-o's not really going to pay you 50 smackers,,,he's just a funny bastard.

Neil.

Well, Pay or not I'm still in for 1/2 day. With all of the work that goes into an event such as this we really do need our members to step up and help out from time to time on the event.

I think Xmetal has the same outlook but check with him then assign me a job.

See ya there - oh, I've got a new tiny camera that is the size of a key fob - great for really low on-board or in cabin shot back at the driver.

    • Nah, shouldn't have made any difference. Reds on, or car running, should be same same for what you were doing.

    • I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless
