We just had a meeting with the March of Dimes, volunteers, and Talladega Superspeedway representatives. There’s a hope that this year’s event will run more smoothly than in years past so let’s keep our fingers crossed. The logistics seem to have been well thought out and most of the bases have been covered.

I need to know who will be able to work the event on August 1st. We still need tour guides, wall riders, group wranglers…. Please let me know ASAP whether or not you’ll be there. If you think you can be there, let me know that too.

For those who’ll be leading tours and riding the wall, there will be a training session/set up on Friday July 31. Meet at the guard shack at the North speedway entrance at 1230. We’ll help set up for the event and have training for the tour guides and wall riders. We should be out of there NLT 1700 Friday.

Volunteers will need to be at the track by 0800 on Saturday August 1 to complete final preparations and receive assignments. There’ll be plenty to do throughout the day so be well rested. Water, shelter, food, and restrooms are all being provided for the volunteers. Bring sun screen. Lots of sun screen.

Here’s the link for the March of Dimes event website www.bikersforbabiesal.org . Tell all of your friends who ride to come on out and participate. Even if they can’t volunteer, the event’s for a good cause and there’ll be plenty to do.

Please call if you have questions, concerns, or comments. Please direct all criticism to Jimmy Nail.
