I may try to get in the training this weekend so I will be prepared for the year if there is time to do so. I may also be up for a half day if needed and time allows it.

[Degsy]

I will be training on friday and working a corner at least 1/2 day.

For those that aren't 100% or have no clue at all:

These are the basics they are gonna show you. You will typically get thrown in a corner with a certified marshall (unlike my turn 6 (bowl) experience all alone last year.). The only advice is don't where red or yellow colored clothing. Usually you'll see them wearing white.

This stuff was key..

EQUIPMENT AND GENERAL NOTES: What to wear, What to Bring
Many of the tracks we handle, both in the North East and South East are subject to wide and sudden variations in weather. The most comfortable are those who carry supplies for intense summer sun and winter rain and wind. Likely daytime high temperatures are 60 to 95 degrees(F), or a cold front can result in HIGHS near 50 degrees Pre-dawn commutes to the track may involve riding in freezing temperatures.
We've handled races that were postponed due to days of torrential rain. Although this was an atypical system, it is common for rain to fall, in Florida for instance, at a rate of an inch an hour during a storm. Nothing takes the fun out of a day quite as well as a drenching rain, so bring a good rainsuit. Remember, yellow and crimson are banned clothing colors, since most classes will continue to run even in rain.

Be Prepared!
