How far in advance should we book race-weekend staff?
Four to six weeks of lead time is ideal for the Indianapolis 500 and other major race weekends, given the scale of the crowds. Smaller event staffing can often be arranged on shorter timelines.
Can you cover multiple gates, grandstands, or fan zones at the same time?

Do you staff events outside the track as well?
Yes. We staff street teams, pop-ups, and off-site activations around Speedway and Indianapolis during race weeks, which pairs well with track programming.
