You will be contacted within a week or two of signing up with additional information and what you will need to do next. Prior to the race, you will receive an email with specific details regarding your task, responsibilities and shifts, as well as parking information and other helpful instructions. Note: if you signed up as part of a group, you will receive further e-mails from your group Captain.

Please email s.negro@cgiracing.com as soon as possible to let our volunteer coordinator know, so we can ensure your responsibilities will be re-assigned to another volunteer. If you are with a group/organization, please be sure to notify your group Captain.
