Get paid to stand in a parking lot all day

[Nomadtrash]

Equipe Rapide has been hired to host a private autocross. It is on Saturday September 10th and pays $75. This is a closed event so no workers will be allowed to participate. It wouldn't be right for a guy in a Mustang to whip up on the club members in their $90,000 supercars. I need 2 volunteers. You will be shagging cones. I'll bring hot dogs. The event is on the East side of Dallas.

PM me if you are interested.

More details please

Arrive at the site which is in Mesquite around 8. Help set up the cones for an autocross course. Stand in the lot for 3-4 hours picking up the cones they knock over. Pick up all the cones and load everything back in the trailer. Get paid $75. The actual amount of time may vary depending on how many cars show up and how fast we can cycle them through the course. At a regular Equipe Rapide event we can cycle 100 cars through 6 runs in 3-4 hours. I expect 50 Vipers at this event and they are not seasoned autocrossers. They may be a little slower at getting up to the start line and stuff. There will be 7 paid workers at this event.

...and watch cars race past you.

I've enjoyed working cones when I did autocross. So if you like watching cars going fast (in a big parking lot) this is actually a decent gig.

I might be interested. I have never been to one of these though. Do we have a safe place to stand while the car is making its pass?

Corner stations are on the inside of the corner and at least 75 feet from the course. If a car spins out it will go to the outside of the corner. The speeds are limited to 60 mph but will probably be more like 35-45. We've been doing this at least 10 times a year since 1967 (430 events) and haven't had anyone get hurt yet. Actually, one guy did trip over a cone while walking the course before the event started and hit his head. Does that count?

I have a few questions.

• You guys providing lunch, water, shade?
• Is this a straight $75 or will there be taxes withheld, etc?
• Mandatory attire? (I'll be damned if I'm going to stand out in the sun in khakis and a button down.)
• Will there be fun runs after the event that corner workers may be able to participate in? (Have helmet, will AX.)
• Any chance to get a ride along?

All good questions

I am going to have some hot dogs and water. You will be given a check for $75. You can wear whatever you want. We have a tent but expect to be out in the sun most of the day. The forcast calls for a high of 94 and a low of 69. It will be a fairly laid back day with maybe 2 hours of actual work and several hours of standing around. No runs or ride alongs during the event. There is the slimmest of possiblilties that we will have a chance to pre-run the course before the participants arrive.
