I've never driven or crewed at an event in which I didn't work something during the weekend. I have licenses in Start, F&C, and Pit & Paddock. If the schedule is such that you don't have enough time to work a speciality around your driving and/or crewing duties, then show up early and help with Registration or with parking rigs in the paddock. Or help the F&C folks collect the flags, fire bottles, radios, etc at the end of the day. Or help serve the food and beverage during the socials, or help push cars on and off the scales at tech, or help T&S deliver grid sheets to start and the false grid. Or if you have a national competition license, volunteer to drive the pace car during the lunch time drive arounds. Or volunteer to be the trophy girl/gal. Or something. It's so easy to help out that it's almost criminal to not do so. Besides, working an event is like being able to go behind the walls at the airport and learn how the baggage is handled or how the traffic controllers work.
