July News and update

Well this month started out with a new situation that I have not had to deal with in the 14 years prior to starting this operation. Fortunately for Red Light the issue was not with a member of our staff at the event. Unfortunately it was with a person that has worked with us in the past and that has led to the rumor mill kicking into high gear.

The long and short of the scenario is this: ANY PERSON showing up at the track that is suspected of being impaired/compromised and is going to be working track side of the fence will be reported to track staff for assessment and remediation regardless of who has hired them for the day.

June News

As we move into June, the SCCA training School has completed and we know who won Indy and the NASCAR races from the weekend. June for Red Light is a light month for the Corner staff. The next 3 events are for Rescue staff with Corners being handled by others.

The BMW event went well with a small number of tows and no major incidents to speak of. The biggest issue was the birth of a fawn on Saturday morning in the infield. This provided a great deal of concern, as between momma and child they had issues with getting across track safely. Then once across we had issues with them re-crossing during the day Saturday and Sunday. All things considered they were still safe and we did get some interesting photos, but there were a few moments the were a little tense.

Enjoy your weekends and see you at the races...

Nord Stern opens Race season at BIR

The First Race Group of the season opened the track at BIR for 2010. The event went well for the most part with the Group providing a good smattering of rescue challenges for RLR. With the moisture present on Friday there were a couple of cars that decided to test the structural integrity of the walls on the front stretch. The good news is that the walls are as sound as they have been in the past and the bad news is that the cars fared about as expected. One was driven off and the other was flat towed.

Hi All,

With the racing season a little more than a week off here is the latest news from the 'home office'. PCA has rehired RLR for the season as has BMW and Slowpokes. I expect that Quattro will also be on board for the season from the conversations that I have had. There is going to be some changes to things this year but not from the RLR activities prospective...

Annual Event Update

Saturday, March 27 2010 @ 09:01 PM CDT
Contributed by: RLRescue
Views: 79

The annual Social was again this year lightly attended. With the cancels that occurred late in the week a number of guests were unable to complete their weekend plans. Because RLR is organized as an LLC this annual event will continue. State law requires an LLC to hold an (at least) annual shareholder meeting. This is that event. In a couple of weeks you will get updated on coming events. Watch your e-mails and stay safe.

February Update

I hope that this article finds you warm and snug and out of the snow. I have had more than my far share of that weather and I'd really like to see spring and dry pavement. A couple of things for this month.

First I got a message from our friend Becky (Former North Paramedic) With her new PA title she has found work in a clinic about 40 miles east of Houston TX. I have her e-mail if you are interested in contacting her. I and the rest of us wish her well in the new warmer climate.

Second A reminder that the annual party is scheduled for Saturday 3/20. Please mark your calendars and look this week for details in your email. Stay warm and see you in March.

Updates for December

Monday, November 23 2009 @ 10:10 PM CST

First: Annual RLR party is scheduled for 3/20/10. Mark your calendars.

Second The Rally Fest Chilli cook-off was 12/5. IT was a really good time at a new venue.

Third: the PDS has posted their dates for the 2010 season and they have been added to the calendar. BUT, I fielded a call today from Gary and the long and short of it is that there is a second rescue company out there that has been selected to handle the BIR-PDS schools for the 2010 season. Both Gary and I feel that this does not close the door on future options, but for now the other company will be handling the school rescue and corner staffing.

Change is inevitable, and sometimes a fresh perspective is a good thing. I wish them well. For now, RLR is still staffing the rest of the events that we have in the past, sans the BIR owned schools. If you want additional info feel free to call me.
