HELP WANTED

WVMP has several staff positions that MUST be filled prior to starting the 2010 season.  Interested parties should contact Billy Maynard with your background and qualifications.

Wyalusing Valley Motorsports Park opened in 2006 with the goal of providing a fun, family oriented venue for kart and smallcar racers to enjoy.  We have a very good reputation for showing hospitality to those who attend events at our facility.  We have a terrific staff of dedicated people who share our vision, and understand our focus on the youth of the sport.  While ALL staff positions at any racing facility are difficult and thankless at times due to the intense competitive nature of the sport, we DO have a terrific group of racers that support "The Nightmare of the Northern Tier".  It is a terrific feeling knowing that you are part of a team that makes it possible for such a facility to exist.  The fun we have and the pride in accomplishment that goes along with it make it all worth while, and the good memories far outweigh the bad at season's end.  WVMP is much bigger than any one person and takes the efforts of many individuals.  We have staff positions vacant for 2010, and these positions must be filled ASAP.  If you or someone you know may be interested, please contact Billy Maynard for more information.
