Provisional event schedule was released last week and, as expected, it sure looks exhausting...
Full (albeit not yet official) efforts are being made to persuade more workers/marshals to sign up in order to be able to run a shift system which would offer sufficient recovery time.

- 2019 Provisional schedule

- example of 2018 IMSA F&C and Safety/Intervention guidelines

Again, registration will go up in due course (in previous years it didn't open until after the Rolex 24 at the end of January): https://cfrscca.org/welcome/pro-raci...ation-process/

The current application process was implemented a few years ago to prevent very inexperienced and newbies signing up as there is no room for proper training/to 'chaperone' at this event - certainly not in 2019. That being said, there shouldn't be any reason for CFR-SCCA to turn down applications being made by marshals with proper flagging experience (at least a number years, preferably some internationally and endurance racing as well), being comfortable on the radio and are familiar with ACO style procedures.

Keep in mind these are not official requirements, I'm merely trying to offer guidelines and help.

Also, interventions might be very limited/not existent for this event as US style racing is very different from British/Euro style in that regard (no official word from WEC has been given about the subject at this point, we'll keep you posted).

Last but not least, the St. Pete IndyCar Grand Prix is the preceding weekend so if you're gonna make this a vacation trip you might as well consider fitting that one in!

Hope to meet many of you next March in warm Florida!
