You see them on the TV during every GP, WSBK and AMA race. They're picking up Ruben Xaus after he does something like this. And most people I talk to have no idea how to become one.
It's cornerworking, people, and personally, I think it's the best way to see a race. Here are the top five reasons:
1. Accomodations are free, and not bad at that.
2. Those dorky vests get you access to practically anywhere.
3. You don't pay to get into the race, they pay you.
4. You can make friends with similarly minded (read: cheap) race enthusiasts.
5. You're practically the only people to get a 100% unobstructed view of the race action.
Best of all, they're still looking for workers for this year's July MotoGP at Laguna Seca. Want to sign up? Visit, download, apply: http://www.usarm.org/motogp.php
And I'll see you there.

Hi Kristi. I thought I recognized your name: thanks for your thoughtful help at VIR as my on-track rider coach (California Superbike School). I admire your commitment to riding and really enjoyed the blog about being a corner worker. They are such a valuable resource when we're riding on the track! Also read your article in this month's Motorcyclist...hope to see more from you. Instructor, Corner Worker, Writer...what's next?
Cool blog, wish I'd seen this sooner.
Hi, you're welcome! You should drop by the Superbike School Cornering Forum some time and catch up with us there.

Thanks for the props, and I look forward to seeing you online or on the track.
