Horizon Committee Needed!!!!
Good Day VCHSS Racers, Race Family and Race Friends,
My name is Donald Carawan, I’m heading up looking for a Chairperson for the Horizons for the 2022 VCHSS race season. I’m taking this on because I do not want the Horizons program Not to have a Chairperson and that the Horizons keep running. They are the future Mini, Morning and Main riders of this series. This program is where some of the best riders of this great series has started.
To give all of you out there that do not know me a little background of me; I have been involved and raced in this series with the VCHSS since 1995 -2006 when I had a crash that side lined me for some time know. That did not stop me being involved in the series. I have been a co-promoter of Reddy Hole Hare Scrabble for more than 10 years with Ralph Benhart. In that time, I was Chairperson of the Horizons with my wife for 2 years and have also co-scored with my wife the big bike events Mini, Morning and Main event for 4 years. I have also held an Officers position with the VCHSS as Assist Awards Coordinator for 2 years. In my spare time I have managed to be a coach, mechanic and pit crew for my son that has Won 4 Stroke C Championship and is now one of the top 250 A class riders of the VCHSS.
Enough of that, here is what I’m looking for with help with the Horizons:
1) I’m looking for a Chairperson(s) to take over the Horizons. I will mentor, oversee and help in any way possible to make this easy and fun.
2) Need a Head Marshal that can make all event for the Horizons (if all possible).
· Head Marshals job would be to check the course before each race on Saturday for the integrity of the course, safety of the course and if there are spots that our little riders may need help.
· Line up Marshals to help the Horizons (prefer 5 – 7)
· And anything else they would like to do (help set course up, Start area, etc)
3) Need backup scorer for each event (they write the riders number down as they come through scoring) and to cheer each rider as they come through. Purpose of the backup scorer is if something happens with computer scoring, the race can be recreated.
4) Trail people: help set up and check the courses for the Horizons. The more people and eyes looking at the course can see things that I do not. Bring any concern to my attention and we will look at it and discuss what needs to happen or be done. This is a TEAM effort.
· One thing that the Horizon Chairperson will not have to worry about this year are the trophies. They will be provided for all races this year.
· The Horizons will be using the same scoring system that the Mini, Morning and Main use and it will all be done at the same sign-up table. Horizons will have their own separate scoring system.
· The system is not that hard to learn. We will train more they one person(s) to know the system.
Please, if anyone is interested in being the Chairperson or would like to help in any way feel free to contact me at: donaldcarawan@yahoo.com
I will respond back sometime in the afternoon/evening when I get off work.
Thanks,
Donald Carawan
