As most of you know, sponsorship and the CRA contingency program are a big part of making racing affordable for many racers.  Keeping this program going takes a lot of behind the scenes work, but is also very much appreciated by our  racers.

We are looking for some assistance with the contingency program for the 2015 season and beyond.  Ben Foreman has been the behind the scenes hero for the last few years, processing and sending in the paperwork each weekend, and he is looking to continue this for the foreseeable future.  I will be continuing to help with contingency as I can from a technical perspective and as a representative at the track.  Where we really need help is in vendor communication.  Now that the economy is coming out of the outhouse, we believe we can build this program back up to where it was several years ago, but this takes someone who can contact vendors, create sponsorship programs to show the advantages of sponsoring CRA racers, and maintain the health and longevity of these relationships.  The bulk of this commitment will be during the off season as the program is built up for the next season.

We also need someone to assist Ben with the paperwork, which involves collecting the forms at the end of the weekend, scanning them in and storing them on our Google drive, and posting the results to the CRA site for verification by the racers.  This involves a few hours per week after each race weekend.

If you are interested, and have a few hours a month to contribute to the club, please contact us for more details.  Prior experience is not necessary, as we have several racers that can help with tips and info on how to work with our current sponsors and encourage more to participate.  Keep in mind that volunteering for the contingency program means free admission to the track and worker lunch each race weekend, worker points for time involved, and the appreciation of our racers.

 

Thanks,

Dwayne
