Volunteer Basic Guidelines
The Speedway is a very large and complex area. This year will see a
big change in our group
as it grows and major changes in the Speedway. With these changes it becomes more difficult to keep track of who is
working with us and where they are located at any given time.
It is essential that we have basic personal information for two reasons.
- To contact individuals in the case of a personal emergency.
- To account for all of our workers if there is a disaster, i.e.
severe storm, tornado, explosion.
For that reason we ask that you report to Volunteer Check in upon
arrival at the Ponderosa Campground. KRM will have a large tent setup
there. They will have a sign in / sign out sheet.
Before arriving, we suggest taking a look at the speedway website at
www.kentuckyspeedway.com where you will find many resources from the
basic schedule of events to a map of the facility. Take a few moments
to familiarize yourself and your group with the map as much of the
facility is changing due to construction. Arrange ahead where, when and
to whom you are to report.
- First, pray! Prepare yourself spiritually for the ministry that
God has lead you to do.
- Prepare physically! Take a look at the weather forecast for Zip
Code 41086, Sparta, Kentucky. Typically July can be very hot
but October can get a little chilly, bring appropriate clothing. Also
we recommend bringing ponchos for everyone as it not unusual to
get a few pop-up storms late in the hot summer afternoons.
