Frequently Asked Questions about the Grand Prix

Not Competing? Do you want to be a HERO?

Download the Flyer for information - PDF 55kb.

In 2008, the ADAA Grand Prix Committee is searching for HEROs.  It is a condition of Grand Prix entry that handlers assist in course changes, scribing and/or timekeeping. However; the Grand Prix Committee is planning to reduce the workload for many of the key roles at the 2008 Grand Prix by soliciting participation from dedicated non-competing volunteers, which we will appropriately recognise as HEROs (Highly Energised Recruited Offsiders).
