Moto GP @ Indy

[Redflagger]

I may be a little early for this.  How does FIM recruit workers for their events?  I am playing with the idea of working corners at the Indy Moto GP.  Just for the fun.  I don't think the track layout is very interesting but I am willing to entertain the idea.  I already have years of experience local and national level for bikes and cars.  I just have been on hiatus due to marriage and work.

Unfortunately I have no idea how they recruit workers, but I think it would be awsome to work a MotoGP.

  Very interesting idea! I'll e-mail Indy and see if I get a response.
In the meantime, here's a cool video that they released for the announcment: http://www.redbullindianapolisgp.com/video/introduction/

WORKAMPING AT THE INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR SPEEDWAY is an opportunity not to be missed! Seasonal positions are available for race weekends of May 27th, June 17th and July 29th of 2007 in the outside paid parking lots. The event in May can consist of 2 weeks to 1 month of work if desired. USGP and Allstate 400 weekends include 5 days of employment for Workampers. Workampers may work any or all of the events that fit in to their schedule. The duties consist of supervising camping areas, directing traffic inside the parking lots, and customer relations with all the fans that camp at IMS. Wages are comparable to other Workamping activities and depend on the duties each Workamper is willing to take on. The employee badge each worker receives allows for gate admission during track activity. All Workampers will have the opportunity to park in the lot they will be working in. We provide dry camping, but water truck and pump truck services are available through companies contracted by IMS. Workampers should expect to arrive for work no later than the Wednesday before the event and should plan on leaving sometime Monday afternoon after the event. Contact Ron Pitman by phone at 317.492.6410, by email at rpitman@brickyard.com, or by mail at 4790 West 16th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46222. I look forward to answering any questions about our Workamping program.

"Workamping", thats a new one on me...where did you this Mike?

[Kuala76]

I'm going....but I think I'll stick to spectating for this one !!!   

[Simon]

I'd like to go and work the turns...don't think I want to do the Workamper thing though. Sounds like parking duty to me, can't imagine thats much fun!

I followed the link the other guy provided and it was up near the top of the page.  I wondered what in the world it was and discovered it was about what the thread was asking about so I popped it up.

  No reply from Indy yet, Tony George is probably not taking questions.

[Court Jester]

I would think Moto GP would have their own corner working staf wouldn't they???
It would be a cool way to get close to the action though.

[TheHiriser]

I've seen threads on other boards where people have worked Laguna Seca and even went overseas to work races.  I'm guessing you just have to find the right person to ask.

MotoGP give the task of getting corner workers at Sega to USARM (http://www.usarm.org/). I have a friend that was a corner worker at the MotoGP event in California this year. There are back up people for back up people at every corner. He said 30 people at each corner.
