Good information on the RAAM website page for race resources: http://www.raceacrossamerica.org/raa...N_webcat_id=13

It would also be good to read just about everything at this link: http://www.ultracycling.com/events/crew_tips.html
and then follow other links in those pages. I saved all the pdf's and notes onto my computer and read a few pages each day, when preparing to crew for RAW 2010. Lee Mitchell has been involved in Ultra Cycling for a lot of years and has lots of good advice. I thnk I read everything he has posted.

The crew seminars they put on are invaluable, especially to newcomers. They cover so much that you might never think about.

I wasn't involved in any sponsor stuff so can't help there.

You will either love the experience or hate it. Definitely you will never forget it :-) I hope to crew for someone doing RAAM someday - I've only crewed for RAW (the first 867 miles of RAAM), Sebring 24hr, Ring of Fire, and Race Across Oregon. I have no desire to race them (well, maybe a 12 hour someday) but I really enjoy being on a crew. It's almost harder work than riding, but very rewarding.
