| ABOUT |
| MADTOWN BMX is an all-volunteer non-profit 501(c)3 organization. We rely on volunteers who dedicate their time and help before and during our events. Without our volunteers there would be no MADTOWN BMX. We are always looking for volunteers to step up and make our races possible. Parents, racers, family members, and spectators can all be involved in a number of ways. Want to keep busy while your child or family member rides or races? Just see a staff member or stop by registration and ask how you can help. We'd love to get you involved at whatever level you're comfortable with. We won't survive without volunteers. Volunteering of course is not a requirement but can be a very rewarding experience for you or your child. Listed below are some volunteer examples of how you can help out at MADTOWN BMX, your participation will help preserve this fine race facility. |
| TRACK MAINTENANCE |
| The beginning of the race season is when we need the most help the track needs to brought up to par; this requires lots of Raking, Stone picking, Patching, Weed whacking, Painting structures and Rolling of the track surface. Workdays are scheduled through out the race season to maintain the Race Track and Facility. |
| CORNER JUDGES |
| Corner Judges are responsible for monitoring riders on the track looking for illegal contact, riders cutting across the track, and for assisting riders who have crashed or fallen while directing traffic around a fallen rider. |
| STAGING AND STAGING ASSISTANCE |
| Stagers are responsible for the organization of riders at the gate and in staging riders to prepare for their motos. |
| STARTING GATE OPERATOR |
| Makes sure all the riders are in their start ready position then activates the start sequencer, which randomly drops the gate down. |

Track Announcer is responsible for calling the race, announcing what is happening on the track, calling the riders to the track for there motos, matching riders numbers to there names, and general track announcements before during and after a race. |
| TROPHIES, STAMPS, TOKENS DISTRIBUTION |
| After every race we need volunteers to help hand out trophy cards at the finish line. We usually need 1-4 people to help with this. Each person is responsible for one place finish (1st, 2nd , 3rd, etc...). We also need people to work in the tower to help riders redeem their trophy cards for trophies or stamps. |
| VOLUNTEERING REWARDS |

Volunteering at the track has other incentives too like tax write offs for your expenses to drive to the track; a staff member can tell you all about those. You can inquire or signup anytime at registration when you feel that you're ready to help out at the track. Most tracks will offer you or your child a discount on race fees for volunteering on race days. |
