These are suggestive actions for race hosts and members after a race day. These items are intended as helpful suggestions not as manditory items when placed in a check list.
Looking for advice for members after races (i.e. recharging battery, modifications due to warnings, etc.)
Looking for tasks to be preformed by race hosts, not members, after a race (i.e. follow up due to a cancellation, posting results/photos, etc.)

For racers:
A way to quickly damage your batteries is to leave them uncharged at the end of a race. Put at lease some of a charge on your batteries before you pack up, ideally a full charge. Over time leaving batteries uncharged for long amounts of time is going to decrease the life of the battery.
