As usual we need awesome volunteers to run our events. This round will require 8 track marshals.
If you have some supporters coming along, want to get up-close to the racing, or just aren't in the mood for riding this round, please contact us prior to the day.
As an added incentive (to just that warm fuzzy feeling for helping out !), volunteers that register to marshals for both days will receive 100% Free Entry and a 50% discount if you can help for one day.
Please let us know if you are bringing a volunteer via the rego process.
Spectators are welcome.
