Dan,
One way to try and pick up other positions is during a heat you're not
currently supposed to work or run, go check out the grid/starter person.
Watch him/her. And ask him/her questions later. That person might be busy
at that time, but ask them later. Hopefully, they'll be nice and answer
your questions. Stay around after runs (if you run in the early morning)
and watch people.

Subject: RE: On behalf of newbies
I still consider myself a newbie. (5 SCCA events)
My question is, when do I leave the flag waving and cone chasing to the
others and start trying other jobs. Is there training required for any of
the positions? Or is it all 'on the job' training. I'm thinking, Grid,
Tech, Starter. Maybe in that order.
Thanks,
Dan Dalen (non-newbie in training)
