This thread still makes me laugh.
Yes folks, work your hours! It isn't that difficult, and avoids things like this when the end of the season rolls around and you figure out that your points are no more.

I didn't bring this back up so we could rip on Jay some more. He paid his dues. It's definitely a good reminder that no excuse is a good excuse.Originally Posted by japrules";p="197012

Well said. I worked mine at SCR late last year when they offered to work the day to raise money for the fella who died. Now I dont have to worry about it.
ID race if there wernt points, I think they just call that a track day though....... But not keeping points, thats like kids playing little league and not keeping score.......

Dion, aren't you staying Novice? If so, I think you're required to work 4 hours again (ie: each year that you're a Novice). I'm not 100% sure, but that's my interpretation.I worked mine at SCR late last year when they offered to work the day to raise money for the fella who died. Now I dont have to worry about it.
This is true. All novices- even the returning "fast" novices -cough-
I worked my hrs already.... MRA banquet, sucked working the door, got in so late we missed half of everything and everyone already had their food... But I don't have to worry about my hours

Hell, I'm not even a novice yet, but my novice hours are worked off.

Yup....just as fair warning - I will have ABSOLUTELY NO SYMPATHY for anyone who claims they didn't get a chance to work their hours. NONE!!
Why?? Because I begged for someone to work off their hours manning the gate at CDR the afternoon of the 16th...no one wanted to and the club had to pay a non-racer to do it.

You begin your riding career with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.
RACERS: WE HAVE MRA PRACTICE AT PUEBLO ON FRIDAY. This means... If you work the morning, you can still have the rest of the afternoon to ride, and your hours will be done before the season even starts!
Please note that if you work the afternoon block (1-4) you'll only get 3 hours marked down, but working the morning will get you the full 4.
This will be a fairly low-key day to work, much less hectic than a race day. So bring a couple bottles of water, light colored clothes, and some gloves, and "git 'r done"!
Man,, at first I saw this thread alive again and thought "oh shit here it comes again".. Kind of a relief that I am not getting blasted again, well except for maybe one dude who took my military comment out of context. But then I expressed it poorly the first time too.
Working a corner at CDR on saturday was alot of fun and I enjoyed getting to meet all of the gang. I am pretty sure the only ambulance ride we had was the corner worker woman, sorry didn't get her name, who had the storage gate thing in the MRA boxtruck come down on he head. But I understand she is fine now. It was scary because she sure wasn't moving when I saw her.
Congratulations to all of you novices who passed the course. Crashes seemed to be few, at least I only pichked up one bike.
I am really going to have to stop smoking if I am going to make a habit out of push starting recalcitrant KTM 525s for people. Remind me not to buy one of those when you guys see me in the pits.
later

Just flick it in there, it should stick, errrrr, what are we talking about anyway

Yes thats true. I went a head and already worked mine for 05 to get them out of the way. I volunteerd when Glenn offered to let us work the open SCR day for the man that died. Where U donated money to the huge jug....
