Someone has sent the current schedule to these guys right? I mean I wouldn't want them to miss any races or anything just because they didn't have the updated schedule! ;D

There is an updated schedule ??? ;D
c'mon...do you guys need anything more than my smiling face in my leathers, flirting with y'all at the race track? ::) okay, so maybe you do. ;) so who is gonna spring to bring these hotties to the races? nice one jack!
rhiannon :-*
I would suggest taking up a collection, but if everyone is as broke as I am then that won't get us very far!
Those ladies are beautiful, but what I want to know is:
1. Do they know the difference between a channel lock, needle nose and a safety wire pliers?
2. Would they be willing to haul a set of rims and tires over to the tire guys to get a set of rains on?
3. If it is raining, will they show more consideration for the person on the bike, or will their hair come first?
4. Do they know the difference between a four, twin, two stroke and a single?
Unfortunately I don't have the beauty, but I have all of the above. ;D
Dawn :)
now i had to check (curiousity overrules)...there was a recruitment area i just had to peek at. according to the 'umbrella girls handbook' (yes they have a handbook), these girls have to research the events they are attending, to 'speak intelligently and confidently on the subject'. and...there is even a chapter on 'checking your appearance' - can't do it in public. an umbrella girl can't talk about her personal life, argue with other umbrella girls, or date anyone involved with the client. this is some serious stuff here. these girls are here to help the client and do just about anything they tell her to do (like carry tires?). this sounds to good to be true, i wonder how much these hotties are getting paid. obviously dawn is getting paid enough to do all this, for i know she is the best candidate for this job and i didn't see her on the website. i wish i had money, then i could have my own 'umbrella dude'. ;D
rhiannon :-*
Dawn, your post reminds me of the classic tee shirt about how many blondes does it take to change a spark plug. My favorite was "As many as I can fit in my box van."
On a related subject, I work with this crazy-hot 18 year old. The other day she sighs, looks earnestly up at me through her big doe eyes, and says, "K3, I'm so broke! I wish I had my own oil mine!" Ah, youth. That's the class of 2003, and the future of America. Still, I could spend hours just watching her breathe...

D@mned right!we do... Come out with an umbrella and ice water this year :o
What an interesting topic, as a matter of fact, I happen to be an umbrella girl with UmbrellaGirlsUSA, and looking good is less than 1/2 of the qualifications needed. I am not on the website yet, but I will up as soon as this weekend. Having knowledge about the sport, the client, the riders, the bikes, and the industry are mandatory. My boyfriend is also a racer and I am part of his team's pit crew, when I am not umbrelling, (or rather, I umbrella when I am not busy pitting ;)?!)
There is not much that I don't have to do, and know how to do, I don't race though, someday, maybe. I think that Dawn and Rhinnon and all the women racers are awesome, I hope to learn all that I can from them!
I genuinely love motorsports, all aspects of it, regardless of the job that I am doing, or just being a spectator.
Being an umbrella girl may seem silly, but believe it or not it is hard work, we are not there JUST to smile and bat our eyes. We work our butts off!

Please post photos of the above referenced butts.

Amberry,
Since you are from the BA and your BF races, would the two of you be interested in sharing some of the travel expenses to the Phx and vegas races this year. Please forward my email to your BF if he is interested. Thx.

I will do that, that is a good idea. He actually reads this board too, Raptorduck?! What do you think?
i seemed to notice in the 'handbook', the appearance requirements. and i didn't fail to notice more than once 'maintain your weight' was printed. the appearance guidlines seemed very superficial, but the other requirements were demanding, which makes up for it. i didn't qualify as an umbrella girl :-[ ... too many tattoos and piercings. but i will make sure to bring plenty of water and an umbrella for jeff at the start of this season. but remember, i am ed keys loyal UG in between my races...but for entriy fee's i am for hire during other availabilities in my weekend! ;) tha bling bling is much needed. ;D
amberry, are you going to make it to the midwest this season? that was an awesome comeback with the website...one for amberry. 8)

LOL!!!!
I read the application myself, and who knows, I may have been able to squeak in. But, I have to support my guy, ;) :-* Paul :-* ;) (Chris, Dave, Craig and Mike I may be able to UG for you too at times). Plus the events would take time away from Paul and Renee and they come first.
Dawn
P.S. Perhaps when Renee is in college. Do you think they would want an UG who is 44? ;D
Rhiannon,
Are you genuinely interested? If so, you should submit a pic and fill out the application. Tattoos and piercings do not necessarily work against you! If you are really interested we could talk about it over e-mail if you want.
I will be at the Indy dealer show in February, but farther out than that, the schedule has not been set, so I am not sure. I hope to be able to make it to as many races and events that I can, otherwise I am sitting in this office all day shriveling away!
Rhiannon? No way. Pretty enough, but the wrong disposition. Sooner or later she'd snap, knock the client off his bike, and go out to run the race herself!
That would be damn near the disposition that would make you a star in this business! Rhiannon, um, I think that your hired! ;D

Hey! Someone has to show the guys how its done.
I'd pay to see that one!
Dawn :)
All hail Queen Rhiannon! May she rule the paddock and the blacktop!
Ok, Amberry is my girlfriend and she is a great umbrella girl. As for knowledge of the sport, she can tell you the standings down to 10th in MotoGP, WSBK, and AMA SB, SP, FE, and SS. She has personally been an umbrella girl for NCR Ducati (when Ben Bostrom and Lance Issacs were on it), Speedvision, Kawasaki, and for Erion Honda (when Josh Hayes was on the team). She personally knows guys like Jeff Hayney and Freddie Spencer and lots of AMA pros know her by her first name (must be that great knowledge of the sport). She has also probably seen over 200 races and been to dozens in person (of her own free will of course), not to mention tons of California Superbike and Freddie Spencer schools. She knows the sport alright.
The best part for me is her hands on talents. When I had my last crash, no sooner did I get my sore arse off the thing that she had all the body work off of it and was swapping out parts.
Of course she is also our official team umbrella girl in CCS as well as pit crew so you don't have to go to an AMA event to see her.
GP. Our team is working out travel arrangements to AZ and Vegas. There is also another local Bay Area CCS guy who will be traveling that I know. Why don't you email me at raptorduck952@yahoo.com.
amberry, i would love to be a UG, but like the replies...i would definately not make it through a weekend. k-3 you got it all right, thanks for the support, and sean...you are a silly-butt. ;D but i would like to meet up with you (amberry) at the indy show, i'll be there. and raptorduck...relax. if we didn't dig your girl, the brainless comments would have never ceased. she sounds great, and no one contested her racing intelligence or mechanical abilities. and all i have to say about lance isaacs is..that guy has a package! i hung out with him at mid-ohio and just couldn't help but notice through his pants. it was a stare factor. :o
Rhiannon? Dealer Show? Me too! Shall we go to Rio? Every other time you've asked me, I've been swapping out a motor...
:P ;D :o ;D :o ;D :o ;D :o ;D :o ;D :o ;D :o ;D :P
