If you’re gonna race: help!
I’ve raced at and been involved in running many radio controlled car clubs over the last 20 years… One thing that hasn’t changed in that time is the lazy attitude of some racers!
Some racers seem to think that a club is providing a paid service. Nothing could be far from the truth, the club is invariably run by volunteers, and any race fees paid merely go towards venue rent, equipment, consumables etc. The race fees don’t cover the organisational effort too!
Countless meetings do you see people turn up and then sit down, or race then vanish before everything has been cleared away. There’s usually considerable amount of effort to set up the track and timing equipment, and then pack it all away again. And it’s usually done by the same few people time and time again. And it’s usually the same people who don’t lift a finger!
Do these racers think no-one has noticed?
It’s the same old story year after year.
IF YOU’RE GONNA RACE: HELP SETUP AND CLEAR AWAY!
Okay, I’m done on that, for now, but no doubt it’ll get on my nerves again in a few weeks or months time.
What can be done to make racers help?
