I don't know your experience level, but I'd suggest contacting any/every track that you're interested in helping. Even if it isn't an Official Starter position, they may have some openings available that will at least get you in the door. Just walking in as a new Official Starter is pretty difficult if you don't know the procedures of the rest of the team. I wish ya luck. 🏁🏁

You weren't criticized once, That Hewitt line was a joke about something that happened with him years ago.

If you’re as sensitive as it appears you may wanna rethink officiating on any level at a racetrack. You’ll get eaten alive.

As a kid I watched Shipman flag the World of Outlaw Midgets and when I saw that video I nearly died laughing 🤣
