What’s the pay, a sack lunch? Lol
I worked for my buddy during the '08 SX season (All Access Staging) setting up and breaking down the Monster energy station. We also did the Red Bull energy station for bit when it was going. I'll tell you this, It's hard, dirty grueling work. I'll tell you though, watching the feld guys do their job, there's is even gnarlier than ours was. The hardest thing for me was barely getting to watch any races at all. You'll be busy setting up for days prior then as soon as the mains are started, you are absolutely humping to get everything the hell out of there as fast as possible. For a moto head like me, it was absolute torture listening to the roar inside the stadium while I was climbing on the Monster structure outside tearing it down! I finally went awol and would disappear to watch the mains then calmly walk back to the pits and jump in like nothing happened LOL. It was fun getting to know the guys at Feld and Dirt Wurx. Some of the most hardworking people I ever met and I'm glad I did it. That job description above gives me flashbacks though. Think mud races, when every single thing on that track is covered in mud. You get to pressure wash it all off until it's done no matter how long, then go race to the airport and catch your plane to do it all over again.
Dirtysmile , that sounds like a tough job, no matter how many Monster Girls are hanging around.

Monster girls? If they even notice you, they look at you like you're a peasant with leprosy. LOL
I kid I kid....
Maybe they should consider...FLAGGERS, instead of relying on volunteers at every round. Unless, you know, safety of the circus animals isn't a priority😎
My brother-in-law used to work for Jordan F1. He used to set up the sound, lighting and audio stuff in the team’s sponsor suites at each GP.
He never got to see a car going round, let alone a race. He’d set the stuff up on a Thursday and then they’d ship him back home once it was working. They used different people to de-rig after the race because taking it all apart didn’t require any technical expertise.
He even asked if he could pay his hotel etc and stay for the weekend but they wouldn’t let him
This is what the Monster girls are seeing 😂😂😂
Where are the media rep postings since they are clearly going to cut out all media next year?? Lol
I was going to say...
We know how that played out!
