Know Alycat ?
Have 3 days to spare in June ?
Want a high pressure job with no pay ?
The Chargers Offroad club at Redbank looking for an Alycat operator for the Queens Birthday weekend in June when they have their Offroad State Titles on – I’d love to do it for them but have to work that weekend at the Caravan Show unfortunately. If you know alycat and want to be the timekeeper for them give me a yell and I’ll put you in touch with the right person.

    Chargers has been good to us to date.. time to put back in…
    Not sure about the Alley cat job, but certain there’s gonna be a need for more hands so Im happy to help out.. Also will need a little more care with power distribution. Consider getting a hand full of extension cords and power boards and evenly distributing the power around the track and reserving two for race control and lights. Perhaps strapping them down and ramping over them to prevent any faults.
    Also a honking UPS for race control wouldnt be such a bad idea, any IT guys have a spare at work?
    Who’s managing scrutineering, rules and transponders?
    Working BEE dates?
