If called upon to work in the “hot” pit area (usually where the racecars exit the track), your responsibilities will be to alert all personnel of any incoming racecar and to give assistance to any disabled car whether it is a mechanical failure, or possible emergency to the driver or car. Pit marshals serve as “traffic cops“ during practice/qualifiying and the race and insure that conditions in the pits are safe. The main duty of the grid team is to direct the racecar to its assigned starting position in “the Grid“ (pre-staging area). Other duties consist of checking the drivers for proper racing attire, seeing that the car has the proper tech sticker for the event, making a final visual check of the drivers safety equipment, and alerting drivers as to the amount of time before their respective race.
The Pace Car is one of coolest jobs! Where else are you assured to be at the front of the pack every lap that your out there! All kidding aside, the Pace Car is a crucial job. The Pace Car driver sets the initial speed of the parade lap and keeps the field in order as well as getting the field back in order for a restart.
The Paddock Marshal monitors activities in the paddock to ensure vehicles are parked correctly, that race and non-race vehicles are driven safely, and watches for potential safety hazards in and around the paddock. Contact the Club Racing Committee Chairman.
