The date for the Portland Adult Soap Box Derby is quickly approaching! Saturday August 20th is THE day! Mark your calendars!

We have the minimum two volunteers our team needs for track set up. What the team needs now is confirmation from those that wish to participate as the pit crew. We are going to need pit crew members to help load and unload the car, get it ready to participate, and man the pit area. We need some pit crew members that can show up as early as 7:00 am. This was a fun event to watch last year, and I am sure it will be even more fun this year as a participant! This is your chance to join in! It doesn't cost you a dime! So come out, watch and root for team NASTE, or participate if you can!

Please let Dennis or me know if you can commit to helping out in the pits. The NASTE Gravity Racer Team needs you!

We have the two volunteers we need but if anyone else would like to join us you would be most welcomed and appreciated! Alternates are always a good idea as well!

Our team still needs a minimum of two volunteers to sign up. We have not had anyone officially sign up yet. I have received some "maybe" replies from a couple folks. One of the options is for Track Set Up from 5:30 am to 9:00 am. Below is the information that was sent to us by the derby officials. It includes a link to the volunteer sign up form. Please let me know if you decide to sign up.

Thanks!   ========Bill

Hello Racers,

Derby is coming up quickly! We hope you’re having fun with your builds. We have a lot going on ourselves improving derby again this year. There are a lot of changes that we hope makes a safe course for all of you which should enable everyone to have a great time.

Every year some race teams have a hard time filling an all-day volunteer position. We are lining both sides of the track with snow fencing which means twice the work. All Hands On Track is necessary so I would like to offer all of our race teams to provide 2 volunteers for track set up and be done by before start. Get it done and get out! Both positions will be from 5:30am – 9am. This way all of your friends can participate in your day of derby in the pits.

I have emailed the volunteers you listed on registration but if you would get on the horn and make sure they are on the same page if you are wanting them to use this 2 volunteer position I would appreciate it.

***Please make sure your volunteer has your Team Name and #. I have attached a registry of all race teams to help.

Also: Lyft is a new sponsor this year any new app downloaded using our code SOAPBOX16 will get free ride credit and derby gets $10. Share it with your friends! Everyone needs a free ride home from time to time.

Thanks,
Darcie

YEAH, GOOD for you!!!!
