I guess you haven't read the rulebook, yet. The Time Trial (_not_ race)
safety steward may approve one worker per corner, and only red flags are
required, except at start/finish. This is the same as we had for Solo 1
(now Track Trial,) and even easier than what we were expected to do, last
year, for HPCCC (this year's PDE):
"3.15.3. Corner Stations
<snip>
C. Personnel - Each corner station shall be staffed with a minimum of two
(2)
unless otherwise approved by the TT Safety Steward for the event.
D. Equipment - Each corner station should be equipped with at least the
following:
1. Device for communicating immediately, privately, and without
interference with the Central Control Station, other corner stations, and
other stations as appropriate.
2. A red flag
3. One dry chemical type fire extinguisher of at least 10-pound size
although two (2) 10-pound extinguishers are recommended.
4. Broom (push type).
5. If a start/finish station is used, this station should also have a green
flag, a checkered flag, and a black flag."
As far as the paid vs. volunteer worker situation, with virtually every
other group willing to pay workers, I'm afraid it's only a matter of time
for SCCA's trinkets and t-shirts to give way to cash money. As it is, now,
many regions are paying expenses at least for specialty chiefs.
