Only a certain number of paid positions are available for this event, as is usually the case.
Corner Worker benefits include -
a) pay of $100/day;
b) lunch daily;
c) hospitality Friday and Saturday evenings!
I'll periodically (every few days) acknowledge those who have applied. I'll set the final roster early the week of September 3, 2018. Will let folks know either way.
I am not handling nontrack workers, such as parking and hospitality. Contact me if you want information on these areas.
Other Important Information:
General information on the event may be found at http://clubregistration.net/clients/cota/index.cfm
Accomodations:
Workers are expected to arrange their own accomodations and transportation to and from the track. The headquarters hotel is the Microtel Inn and Suites near the track. Working with PCA, COTA has provided a list of hotels in the vicinity of the track, which is at the links above. I'm told Expedia and Orbitz also provide good coverage for the Austin area.
Those who will be residing in RV's or camp trailers will be allowed to park in the main paddock. This includes anyone who is using their personal vehicle as a camper! Tent camping is allowed in lot K.
Worker Skills:
Basic corner worker HAND SIGNALS are needed at COTA. There will only be a single radio per station and the digital radios are trunked, meaning your personal radios and scanners are useless. Anyone outside the station will need to interact with the station communicator via hand signals. Please review before arriving at the track and consult with your corner captain daily.
Experiece counts! We are accepting applications for this event from novice and rookie workers and from those who have only worked at COTA. However, it is unclear at this time how many, if any, folks at these experience levels we'll be able to use. Please apply anyway as this will get you on our list for future events where we can more readily use these skill levels and help you get the training and experience for PCA at COTA next year.
