VOLUNTEERING
MDR is a volunteer-run club. To keep membership and racing fees low, it is an expectation that riders and families volunteer in some capacity. Racers, please encourage family/friends accompanying you to participate and help! Many of the volunteering tasks do not require dirt bike experience and are an excellent way to meet other members of the club. Signup the weekend of the race on the whiteboard next to the MDR registration trailer (where you scan your helmet). If you have any questions, ask a MDR board member (look for the red board member t-shirts).
