TRACK VOLUNTEERS

Many thanks to all the volunteers that help out at the track, your hard and dedicated work is what keeps this sport going. If anyone else would like to help out at the track just ask Linda or Paul Weimer. Volunteering at the track has some incentives and also tax write off's for your expenses to drive to the track; they can tell you all about those. You can inquire anytime at registration when you feel you would like to help out. Thanks again!
