Yeah you get to meet a lot of cool people and working test days and such see some cool things. I also think it can help driving as well, working so much at Road Atlanta I have seen almost any imaginable line and screw up every section of the track, you learn from others mistakes and learn from the fastest.
Yeah, it will def help you see the best lines and what happens where. I always work station 10-12 at RA. I have been doing the motorcycle stuff for 4 yrs and have learned so much about the tracks I work. There are somethings you will notice working on a station that you would never realize driving or riding a bike. It could be a matter of moving just a couple of inches in any direction and it could change your times pretty well...with bikes though ofcourse
2 sucks, 6 I like because it's kind of chill and good close up to the cars/bikes lol. I worked AMA there a few times. I've only worked 9 twice, it's so boring lol. Usually the same guy works 9 for Road Atlanta because he's so familiar with the black flags and all.
I just work for Road Atlanta, so any test days, track days, etc I work and AMA brings some Road Atlanta people in.
I think there are a couple NASA guys on here who flag/work.
Cool. I think FBF got a contract with AMA for RA now. They have been in the works for having a contract with AMA everywhere in the states and also working on having some of us train people for World SuperBike and a few car clubs want us to go where ever they go lol. Plus pay is going up this year.
