Silver Dragon Racing is looking for a few volunteers to join our team for two 8 hour endurance races with the World Racing League at MSR Houston April 6-7. We're hitting the track with a new car this year, a V8 powered Lexus IS running in the GP1 class. Crew volunteers will assist in pit stops, help refill fuel jugs, etc. Should be a fun couple of days. We will provide a lunch both days for the team.
If you're in the Houston area that would be great. We'd love to have guys from DFW, etc, but I understand the travel costs may be more than a volunteer wants to pay. Ideally we'd like to have 2-3 guys in addition to our drivers. If you have racing gear, even better. Everyone over the pit wall has to have gear per the below rules. We do have a spare set of gear that may work for you.
B. DRIVERS AND CREW

general health, not under the influence of alcohol, controlled substances or prescription medications that may

2. Personal safety gear: All drivers and any crew involved in fueling must wear the specified protective gear
a. Helmet: Full-face with visor (face shield). No apparent structural damage. Rated Snell SA/SAH-2010 or
2015 for drivers. Crew may substitute open face helmet per rule D.3.a
b. Suit: Fire retardant racing suit rated FIA 8856-2000 (or later), or SFI 3.2A/5, or higher. SFI 3.2A/1 suits may
