Well, Race Fans....it's that time of year again. We're about to kick off the BEST IndyCar Season in some time. However, in order to make it the best, we need VOLUNTEERS!!! We need volunteers to work the "Downforce Tents" (Notice the plural). Yes, this year we will be having FOUR tents at each race to better serve our members. The additional tents will help to alleviate the problem of members having to walk all the way around the track from their seats to check in at the ONE tent so they can get points for attending the race. By using four tents we hope to provide more convenient access to the fans. However, that added convenience means some additional obligation from our members. At the "Main Tent" they will be selling "Downforce Schwag". and we'll need maybe 2 people to work that tent because the IRL will supply people for that tent as well.
The other three tents will require more volunteers. Downforce Members AND non-members can ALL work the tent this year if they choose (meaning bring the family) Let me tell you that although it sounds boring....it's anything but, it's actually a BLAST!! And we're not asking you to volunteer and stay at the tent until the cows come home. All we're asking from our volunteers is to give us at least 2 hours. If you choose to come back and work some more after the race, or decide to stay longer than your 2 hours, that's wonderful, if not....we thank you for the 2 hours you gave us in the first place. ALL TENTS WILL BE CLOSED DURING THE RACE.....so you won't miss ANY action on the track.
The tent volunteers mission this year is to allow members to sign in so they receive their points for attending. The volunteers will also pass out small promotional items like; posters, magnets, schedules, etc., and talk to people about the league and signing-up for Downforce, (in all actuality, that's the FUN part).
The most strenuous part of working the tent is meeting and getting to know all these other fantastic racing fans and sharing your knowledge with them by answering their questions about Downforce and the IRL. Sounds like it will wear you out huh? 
One BIG change this year is that you don't have to be a "Member" of Downforce to work the tent. Obviously, we would PREFER that you are, but perhaps you are a member and the Husband/Wife/Kids aren't...they can work the booth with you. We want this to be a "Family Affair" just like the IndyCar Series is.
Now comes the reward! Booth Volunteers will also be rewarded with 1500 points for working the booth on TOP of their points for attending the race. After each race, there will be a "Post Race" party and all volunteers are invited to attend. My understanding is that there will be refreshments and a "LIVE Band"! The post race party is intended to be a "thank you" from the League and Downforce for volunteering your time. Fun will be included in the "Post Race Party" as well!
