Season Preparation

We have the first official season test coming up in a few weeks at Sebring International Raceway and there are always so many things to do.

The guys in the shop have things under control as usuall and will be ready to get out to the track for a while, but it is a little different for me in the office. Don’t get  me wrong, I love getting out of the office for a while. I like variety in my work and going to the events is one of the perks of my office job.

I have to make sure the travel arrangements are all in order, vehicles, flights, and hotels are the norm. Then there are registrations for the series as well as the track days to register for, crew to organize and fuel or pre-order. The opening events bring the added confusion of making sure everyone crew and driver alike has the appropriate credentials for the season. There is nothing more frustrating than getting stopped at the gate at 6 in the morning because someone does not have their credential on them.

January proves to be even more fun however, it is not only the month to do 4th quarter paperwork, I also get to do all of the 2009 year end paperwork as well. I know everyone loves getting their W-2′s early (the sooner to get their refund) but not many people realize how much time the additional paperwork takes in the office every January. I know I didn’t until I started working for Mundill.

Boy, with all of that to do, I better stop writing and get to work.

See you in Sebring!
