The goal is to chat with people who stop to look at the cars and
videos, and try to interest them in region activities. The rally
program likes to have people there throughout who are knowledgeable
about rally / rallycross / pro rally.

There are still some openings for workers:

Friday evening
Saturday late morning to early afternoon
Saturday evening
Sunday late morning to early afternoon
Sunday afternoon

For your assistance you get:

        Free admission to the auto show. Either before or after your
shift you are free to check out the show.
        Worker points (good for region merchandise)
        High points

Please contact Barbara Lissow at blcatscars@... if you can help
