We Want You!

[Jamezilla]

Ladies and gentlemen.

I am building a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude.

On Saturday November 19th - we will be running our second competition motorkhana event at DECA in Shepparton... and we need your help.

As your Chief Event Steward, I need a total of about 20 officials for various tasks throughout the day. Car marshals, time keepers, starters, recorders, media (video and still photos) etc

You will need to be in Shepparton at 8.30am on Saturday morning (a convoy will be leaving Melbourne at 6.00am - feel free to head up on Friday though) to report for an officials breifing. This is a key responsibility for the event, as without your help - there is no motorkhana.

As officials you will be treated with extreme reverence and respect.

What you say - goes.

Please note the accomodation thread if you wish to stay over for Saturday night:

You have our gratitude

do i have to be like qualified or anything like that? I can take ok photos...not a photographer so not familar with light settings on cameras and all that jazz but i can aim the camera and get the car in the middle and what not...

could do the video i rekin, i could do that better than photos probably.

time keeping sounds easy enough...as long as im where the action is and not tucked away in some shed lol

would be a good way to make my way into the SAU world, SAU Vic in particular which ill be signing up for shortly.

would probably try to get a ride with someone, so yeah...its only a maybe but just expressing an interest

[paulr33]

me and sarah are in

[Mr. Oizo]

I'll do still photo.

[R31Nismoid]

You need no qualifications.

Just listen to what James tell you to do.

James - i can do rest breaks for officials when im not having the BBQ firing hard.

I'll also need at least one person to gimme a hand for that... i had 2 last time and that worked well

I'll do still photo.

wanna use mine as well? that way u dont have to switch between the zoom and 18-55mm lens and i'll bring the laptop so u can go nuts and take thousands of shots

i'm pretty sure i dont have anything on that weekend so i will bring a couple of video cameras for some filming. I dont think my camera mounts will be here in time so if anyone has some internal and external mounts for cameras could be good.

[blind_elk]

I'm available for whatever needs to be done.

[Let Me Drive]

im coming to help so put me down and maybe the girl friend

Yeah sure, I'll bring my 300d as a backup as well and we'll see what happens

i have a car mount, http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...dpost&p=1685598

but it was around $900, so im not sure how easily im going to let it get stuck to a car going around a track

[inark]

lmao for 900 it better stick on pretty bloody good

the ones i was ordering were like 70 for one tripple suction mount... 50 for the headrest type and another 50 for a window mount.

they'll do the trick for a hobby.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

was it a stickypod?

they'd be good for the interior footage

the headrest mounts would be a bit awkward because most cars would have bucket seats

[inark]

chasecam mounts... for internal and external... mates use em too. when i can be bothered spending about a grand i'll get the PIP solid state recorders and stuff.

[saff_cossie]

Might be a daft question but can drivers do anything between driving or is there something for drivers at all points during the day i.e different courses?

If drivers can help, let me know, happy to lend a hand.

EDITED: Drivers can't be volunteers, sorry guys, the thought was there

[Bass Junky]

I'm happy to have in car and out of car footage of my car all day.

You can stick whatever you like to it!

i think thats something they will probably keep to themselves... altho if u wanna start up a pay website i spose there wont be an issue

Sounds like a good idea to me, I sent my membership form off yesterday I'll put my hand up. Would be good to meet people besides Scott

[Snowman]

$900 for an external mount??

Sheez!

I bought mine for $98 and I'll be using it all day inside and outside of as many cars as possible (although maybe only outside mine because I'm not 100% confident in it just yet. LOL)

I have taken it for some test drives and it works great so far. But DECA will be the real test.

But for everyone that can come up and help you'll be in the prime spots for when we need you. Free lunch and drinks included for helpers as well.

[dezz]

is there a list of people attending with forum names rather than real names?

that way i can take some steps into seeing if ill hitch a ride if i do infact come.

my car might be sold before this event, and im looking for a little buzz box to get me to work...so that wouldnt be the most fun drive to shep

[inark]

bring our own reflecty tops?
