Seasonal Drag Crew Staff

2020 Seasonal Drag Crew Staff – World Wide Technology Raceway

Positions Available:

Announcer: This is a motorsport announcing position. We are looking for people who are comfortable behind a microphone announcing live racing events as they unfold. Responsibilities include accurately describing on track activities while also being able to perform scripted and unscripted spots for various sponsors as well as internal promotion of the track. Parties interested need to have an understanding of drag racing classes and vehicles, as well as knowledge of general rules and guidelines of the sport.

Tech/Staging Lanes: These positions are responsible for ensuring the vehicles reach the safety standards set by the sanctioning body as well as control and structuring of the classes as they prepare to go down the track. These positions are outside on the ground and hours run the entirety of the racing event. Basic automotive mechanical knowledge is a must along with the ability to distinguish types of cars/classes quickly and easily in a fast-paced environment.

Starting line: This is the fastest pace position on the dragstrip and requires nonstop attentiveness and special awareness. This position includes starting each pair of cars as well and watching for any potential issues that could affect the racer or the track. This position is responsible for track prep pre-race and cleanup or maintenance to the drag strip during the race.

Support positions: These include positions such as timeslips, water box, tower stage, timing and scoring. Some of these positions are less labor intensive than the others but are still a critical component to ensuring we offer the high-level experience our racers and fans have come to expect.

Front Computer/Clock Operator: This is a fast-paced position that is responsible for running the timing system for the race. It requires an understanding of keyboard functions as well as the ability to identify car numbers and classes. It is very detail oriented and an understanding of data entry and DOS is a plus.
