Race Committee, previous – 2022

Hey folks, Philippe here. I run the race program at WSC, and you’ll hear from me from time to time. We are a volunteer club, so please do your part to help our racing series thrive!

The folks on this page were a very appreciated resource during our 2022 Summer Series, and provided their time and efforts to run our races. THANK YOU!

Roles for Race Committee

Race Committee Barge Support: Assists in operations on the RC barge (time recording, flags, horn)

I created this cheat sheet to help run races. The document is also found in laminated form in the Race Committee clam shell document holder.
