I've cornered a fair number of races while I've been putting my car back togeather. On a race day I'm a one-man band, so I can't volunteer on those days. This does give me the chance to F&C for professional races, WC-GT at Long Beach I was yellow for T1, but also I get to keep my SA sharp too.

Part of what works for me is we have a on site housing for our home track, and unless I can drive home, I usually don't work away races.

I know that in SFR, they have a formal class structure, I can't volunteer for their events, but in the South it's pretty open.
