    My perspective is different than most here as I was a worker long before I started driving.
    Now I do not like working on the weekend that I race, I may work tech in the morning if I have a late run group or fill in driving the pace car for a couple of races if they are short but I do attend races as a worker when I am not driving. Why are there so few of us that do?
    Most workers view this as a club where we work together to put on event that we like but it seems as most drivers view SCCA as a vender that provides a service for a fee.

    Dick..What's the statute of limitation on corner worker training?
    I cut my teeth on corner work during the late 60's/early 70's at LRP,Thompson and Loudon during the old trans AM, VEtte/Cobra battle days. I would be glad to help out when not racing at LRP and NHMS.
