VOLUNTEER SPECIALTIES:
Working together as a team, these marshals' positions provide information and action in case of an incident.
-
Flag Marshals (including Light Panel Operators): Flags and lights are used to warn riders of hazards, provide information, and/or give instructions. In the case of an incident or a change in conditions (such as rain or debris) an attentive flag/light marshal can provide a faster warning than any other system and can quickly feed accurate information back to race control. Similarly, race control can ask these marshals to instruct or warn riders using the flags or lights. Flag Marshals work from prearranged flag posts and do not get involved with bike recovery. Likewise, light panel controllers are in fixed positions.
-
Track Marshals: The Track Marshals’ job is to prepare for any incidents that may occur on their section, and be first responders, dealing with motorcycles and track hardware as necessary. They need to remove crashed bikes quickly, to a safe place, check the track, bike, protective walls and surrounding area for debris, oil or anything else that might be a hazard, and remove it. Track marshals need to be physically capable of a helping move a disabled motorcycle, as part of a team, and if necessary, operating a fire extinguisher.
-
Rider Assist Marshals: Rider Assist Marshals act as assistants to the qualified medical staff, in helping respond to crashed or stopped riders, guiding them or when necessary being a team member transporting them to safety. Rider Assist Marshals need to be physically capable of helping carry a rider on a stretcher board.
If your specialty is not available let us know what it is and we can assign you to a similar post!
HOTEL:
Please note that hotel rooms are not provided. There will be a discounted hotel rate for marshals, along with transportation provided to and from this hotel each day. Upon confirmation of your registration, you will receive details on the room block.
CAMPING:
Circuit of the Americas is pleased to continue to offer free dry tent and RV camping at the events we staff. The lot is dry with no free hookups. Portable bathrooms and showers will be available. Please reserve your camping or RV pass when you register.
GUEST PASSES:
Confirmed marshals may obtain a guest pass for those who are not working but accompanying them to the event. As in years past, we will implement a strict one (1) guest pass per worker policy.
SWAG:
Everyone that comes and works will get a full goody bag of great COTA gear! We are also working on additional worker perks, so stay tuned for updates.
