| President's Corner: |
The season, though it seemed had only just begun , did in fact come to a close.
This season held incidences which tested the training and skills of the Fire/Rescue section of our team, and they demonstrated they were ready for the challenge. The Course Marshals also were not able to get through the season without having their training and skills tested. They too proved they were ready for the challenge. Moving on to another portion of our team, Start/Finish and Flagging and Communications, did a great job communicating conditions on and around the track. These communications are vital to those who make safety decisions when incidences happen as well as communications with the drivers. All the while, Grid/Paddock and Pitts worked tirelessly to keep race traffic aligned, orderly and moving safely amongst fans, crews and other drivers. The Race Medical portion of our team provided skilled medical care for drivers, crews and fellow RSI members throughout the season. And speaking of taking care of people, the Workers Support section of the team was there for all of us, working though the heat, the rain and the cold to deliver refreshments. They also helped with whatever was asked of them.
Combining all specialties together we make up the RSI family, which is a team that is second to none in providing quality services to Watkins Glen International Racetrack. I am proud to have worked with all of you this season.
