Actually it would be closer to 7:30 if you are willing to show up just as the worker meeting starts. But that still means getting up and going pretty early.
I'm not nearly so ambitious as to try for 8 am. Our average start time for the first car is about 9:30. That means the fam is starting about 9:10 or so. I'd be happy if we could start the fam run at 8:30. That still adds 40 minutes to our day. If you add 30 mins to the schedule to get an 8:30 start time it looks like this
6:30 AM
Equipment Setup and Phone Testing: 2-3 people, 1-½ hours
7:00AM aprox
Registration Opens: 1-2 people (Must be drivers or non-hill workers)
Tech: 1-2 people (Must be drivers or non hill workers), 2-3 hours
7:45 AM
Setup Crew Sets up last station and tests the last phone.
Setup Control relays via radio that the hill is setup to Chief Steward
Chief Steward announces worker and driver meeting in 15 minutes. A few people should be sent out to
spread the word.
If they have not already Group A drivers should start lining up for their fam run.
8:00 AM
Combined Worker and Driver Meeting, All the people, 15 mins
8:15 AM
Workers head up the hill (This includes Group B driver-workers)
8:30 AM
Close the hill to non-race traffic (Okemo and Bolton)
Begin group A fam run once the hill is clear.
