Starter (Drag Crew)

This position does require that the individual understand race procedures, as you will 
be responsible in starting the individual races and occasionally making judgement calls.
Attention to detail is necessary. Must have good communication skills and be able to react
quickly to situations. This position will take the lead on track prep and ensure that the
starting line and the racetrack is always clear of debris and fluid. This position requires 
constant awareness of your surroundings, due to the fast-paced environment.

Requirements:
• Must be 18 years or older
• Be able to work in a team environment and take direction – we work very close with one 
another and at a very fast pace.
• We provide the equipment used to prep, clean and dry the racing surface. Prior 
equipment experience is not necessary, although preferred. You must be comfortable 
and willing to learn.
• Communicate Professionally – Good verbal communication skills are required not only 
internally with your teammates but also with our guests.
• Reliable transportation – Our day starts early and could end very late. Reliable 
transportation, preferably yourself, is required. Because your ride cannot get you here 
on time or wait until the end of your shift, are not valid reasons to be late or to leave 
your position before the race has been completed.
• Stamina – hours can be long, and we do work in an outdoor environment; therefore, 
endurance is required. You must be prepared for all elements and conditions.
• Majority of these positions are located outside in a variety of temperature and 
weather conditions. You will be on your feet most, if not all your shift. Shift lengths 
and end times are all driven by the event and you must be flexible

environment while delivering an unforgettable experience for every competitor who pulls into the 
lanes.
Most drag crew positions can be learned quickly, and we’ll provide the training you need to 
succeed. Within just a few weeks, you’ll be building skills and gaining hands-on experience in the 
fast-paced world of drag racing. While this is a fun and exciting industry, it’s also a professional 
environment where teamwork, reliability, and strong work ethic matter. A genuine interest in 
motorsports and the drive to learn can easily make up for a lack of experience—we’re happy to 
train motivated individuals who are ready to grow.
Drag racing is a tight-knit community, and everyone starts somewhere. There’s no better place to 
get your start in the industry than World Wide Technology Raceway. If you’re eager to learn and 
willing to work hard, we can take you from knowing nothing about the sport to becoming a valued 
member of our race operations team.
Many of our positions are cross-trained, meaning you’ll have the opportunity to learn multiple roles 
around the track. The more skills you develop, the more valuable you become to the team—and the 
more opportunities you may have.
We offer competitive hourly pay ($15–$18/hour) along with Dental, Vision, and additional 
benefits.
If you’ve ever wanted to work where the engines roar and the Christmas Tree drops, this is your 
chance to be part of the team that brings race day to life.
