    Yo mofo's, last race of the season 9/22-23!

    The MRA season ender at Pueblo is just a couple weeks away, Sept 22/23! It should be a kick ass time, come down and check it out!

    I'd also like to encourage as many of you as possible to cornerwork this weekend. The more they have the better, it makes the track safer for the riders, and it's really the best seat in the house being mere feet away from the action!

    I"ll be down that weekend I'm pretty sure. But I have too many lil men in my head to be left alone, isolated with only myself on a corner.

    Well, the benefit of a bunch of people cornerworking is, you end up with 2-3 people on a corner to share in your schizophrenic tendencies.

    Donna and I will be cornerworking both days, FWIW.

    I am interested in going down on Sunday. I've never corner worked but I'd be willing to if I'm able to. Otherwise I'd be ok with spectating.

    Why can't you do both? That is the best part of corner working! Not to mention you get paid. Here is more info

    I should hope so! Otherwise, who will all the scantily clad umbrella girls slither all over up on the podium?

    Would I be allowed to corner work having never done it before? I thought there was the instructional class you had to take. I'm interested in doing it for the experience.

    No class hun, just show up at the track and have some fun, you'll get some pointers of course but you'll be fine. I cornerworked for a couple seasons and the AMA races, such a blast.

    Like Ashli said, just show up... Some things you should know though:
    - Be there by 7am, so they can get you signed in, etc.
    - Wear light colored clothing if at all possible (white is best), NO red or yellow so you don't match a flag and confuse a rider. Long pants, no open-toed shoes.
    - You'll be outside all day... Sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, the usual.
    - A pair of work or mechanix gloves come in really handy when picking up bikes. A whistle is also highly suggested in case you need to get another worker's attention quickly.
    - Beyond that, just be there! You'll get a bit of money, have a lot of fun, and the training is all on-the-job.
