Newby Questions
Posted: 15 Apr 2013, 1:28 pm
This is my first year entering and I have a bunch of questions. We'll be entering (late as usual) as Bush League, so no water entry.
1. What do the Pit Crew do? I'm guessing they just ride their own bikes along with the sculpture throughout the race and help with water, sand, mud, pushing and pulling? Am I missing anything here?
2. I'm still getting confirmations for pilots and pit crew. Can I change pilots or pit crew between entering and actual race day? Assuming they would require a signed waiver, can I just bring that on race day, or is there a pilot/pit change deadline?
3. In the past I've seen a lot of folks following the sculptures on bikes and also dressed up. Do these folks all need to be registered as pit crew? We are thinking of have some kids (10yo and older) following along "in costume" with our sculpture at least in the beginning of the race. Can they just follow along as un-registered folks on bikes?
4. Are there any restrictions on pilots under 18yo?
OK, that's it for now. I'm sure I'll have more.
