Live Stream Volunteer Needed

If anyone in the DLV family knows of someone who can help with the live stream this weekend it is greatly appreciated.

It is not overly technical. It is more about having someone switch cameras to follow the racing. Free meals and volunteer points.

Anyone interested can come have a look at tonight’s racing.
