...somehow this doesn't sit well with me; it seems somehow... mercenary.
And I don't know if it's a message we want to send to newbies. "You don't have
to work, but if you do, you'll learn stuff and get a discount off your next
race" vs "You have to work, but if you pay someone to work for you that's OK"
See what I mean?
And how do you handle this case: Driver X pays Driver Y to do his worker shift.
Driver X goes home. Driver Y skips the shift, and keeps the money. Should Driver
X be penalized for missing his shift? How would the Worker Chief even know? What
kind of disciplinary action could be taken against Driver Y?
My gut tells me that any scheme for allowing people to opt-out of working (or
opt-in to working, depending how you look at it) has to be managed by the event
organizers.
