Call For Hall of Fame Class, Committee Nominees

hof

TOPEKA, Kan. (Aug. 24, 2010) –Sports Car Club of America is currently seeking nominations for the SCCA Hall of Fame Class of 2010. Up to five nominees will be selected for induction into the Hall of Fame on February 12, 2011, at the SCCA National Convention Presented by Gumout.

The SCCA National Hall of Fame was created in 2004 to preserve, protect and record the history and accomplishments of the Club by acknowledging those members who’ve made a significant impact on the development of the SCCA, be it through service to the national organization, achievements in national competition or brining national recognition to SCCA.

Nominations will be accepted through Sept. 30 and can be sent to SCCAHof@scca.com or to the attention of Howard Duncan at the SCCA National Office (P.O. Box 19400, Topeka, KS 66619 or fax 785-862-7183). Nominations should include a list of the nominee’s accomplishments and a summary of why he or she should be selected. Those who have been nominated previously, but not selected, can always be re-nominated to ensure the most up-to-date and thorough information.

“Being inducted into the SCCA Hall of Fame is a tremendous honor,” SCCA President and CEO Jeff Dahnert said. “This is where you will find those who have been our greatest contributors and most successful competitors. It’s also an opportunity to honor those that may have achieved their greatest notoriety in other racing organizations, but achieved that only after success in SCCA. I encourage all members to share with the committee the individuals that made an indelible positive mark on the Club as a National organization.”

After reviewing the potential candidates, the SCCA Hall of Fame Nominating Committee will select 15 official nominees to submit to the SCCA Hall of Fame Selection Committee. The Selection Committee will then conduct additional research on the 15 nominees before choosing the final inductees, who will be formally announced in December. The Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony for the Class of 2011 will take place at the 2010 SCCA National Convention in Las Vegas, Feb. 10-12.

In addition to nominees for the Hall of Fame, resumes are being accepted for consideration on the Nominating and Selection committees. Interested individuals should contact Howard Duncan at the above information.

More information about the SCCA Hall of Fame, including a list of previous inductees is available at www.scca.com by clicking on “About SCCA” and then selecting “SCCA Hall of Fame,” from the left-hand menu.

SCCA Announces Technical Services Department 

TOPEKA, Kan. (June 11, 2010) – Sports Car Club of America, Inc., has announced the formation of a stand-alone Technical Services Department to better serve the participants, teams and crew members of all of the competition programs offered by the Club, including Club Racing, Rally, RallyCross, Solo and Time Trials.

The Club-wide department will provide cross training between national staff members, sharing knowledge through the department that will allow for better support to competitors and better coverage during each discipline’s National Championship events.

“At SCCA, we’ve been stressing customer and member service for a number of months,” SCCA President/CEO Jeff Dahnert said. “The new Technical Services Department is another example of us serving our members– in this case, the competitors and teams, more efficiently with a larger department to answer their calls for questions and assistance. Everyone in Club Racing, Rally and Solo should benefit from this extended expertise.”

Doug Gill, formerly the Solo Competition Manager, has been named General Manager of the Technical Services Department. Gill has background in all aspects of SCCA, Inc. competition programs, serving in roles at both the Tire Rack® SCCA Solo® National Championship and the SCCA National Championship Runoffs®, and will be responsible for managing the new department. Gill is also responsible for coordinating the cross training efforts for the national staff and SCCA field personnel, as well as managing the interaction between SCCA and technical certification programs and standards set by the FIA and SFI Foundation.

“We’re looking forward to ‘making it easy, making it fun’ as a Technical Services Department,” Gill said. “Our goal is to be able to help every member who contacts us with a technical question and help them participate in a safe and competitive manor, and we’re confident in our staff’s ability to do that.”

Working with Gill in the Technical Services Department are John Bauer, Brian Harmer and the recently-hired Ryan Miles.

Bauer, the Club Racing Technical Manager, has provided information and technical guidance to Club Racing members and support to national events, including the SCCA Runoffs, during his six years at SCCA.   

In Harmer’s past two years as Solo Technical Specialist, he has assisted Solo competitors with many of these same activities, working both in the office and assisting on-site at National events.

Both Bauer and Harmer will continue to not only work within their specialties, but continue to train across all SCCA competitions.

Joining the Technical Services Department is Ryan Miles. Miles joins SCCA from Columbus, Ohio, where he worked as a construction planner and draftsman, and part-time at a specialty automotive repair shop dealing with Porsches and vintage Triumph machines. Already an SCCA member, Miles has participated in Solo events as a competitor, and in Club Racing as a crew member.

As Technical Services Assistant, Miles will handle homologations, initial member inquiries and be responsible for updating car data from manufacturers. Miles took the position vacated by Kevin Yaghoubi, who left SCCA May 28 to further his education.

The Technical Services department will continue to assist Club Racing and the Rally/Solo departments with vehicle inspections and compliance issues, and assist with trade shows including the annual Performance Racing Industry show in Orlando. The department may also work with the SCCA Pro Racing technical department on topics of mutual interest.


SCCA Announces New Membership Drive Contest
updated 3/12/10

TOPEKA, Kan. (March 12, 2010) – Introducing new members to SCCA has never been more lucrative to current SCCA faithful, with the new SCCA Membership Drive and Contest. There are two parts to the contest, one for individual members and one for Regions.

“Membership is the lifeblood of our organization, and current SCCA members and Regions now have some great additional incentives to bring new members in, and possibly welcome some old friends back to the organization,” SCCA VP of Member and Region Services Colan Arnold said.

For each new member referral, SCCA members now receive $10 in “SCCA Gold.” This form of new SCCA currency can be applied toward membership dues, licensing fees, merchandise or event entry fees through the SCCA National office (such as Tire Rack National Solo events, the Runoffs or the Convention). There is no limit to the amount of SCCA Gold a member can accrue and it will automatically be credited to the membership record of the member.

Additionally, for each new member referral, a member’s name will be entered into a Grand Prize drawing. The awards are as follows:

First Place: Skip Barber Racing School

Second Place: $1,500 Tire Rack Gift Certificate

Third Place: $500 SCCA Merchandise Gift Certificate

Regions are eligible for rewards based on an overall increase in their total membership and their membership retention rate. Region goals are set at a growth rate of two percent and a retention rate of 80 percent annually.

Rewards Rewards are offered for four levels of success:

Level One: Achievement of two percent growth: Region receives $20 in SCCA Gold for each member (Individual and SafeRacer First Gear) and $30 in SCCA Gold per Family Membership above the 2009 membership levels in each category.

Level Two: Achievement of two percent growth and 80 percent retention: Same SCCA Gold amounts as Level One, plus a discount of five percent on all 2011 event sanction fees (excluding insurance and late fees).

Level Three: Achievement of 10 percent growth and 80 percent retention: Same SCCA Gold amounts as Level One, plus a discount of 10 percent on all 2011 event sanction fees (excluding insurance and late fees).

Level Four: Achievement of 20 percent growth and 80 percent retention: Same SCCA Gold amounts as Level One, plus a discount of 15 percent on all 2011 event sanction fees (excluding insurance and late fees).

The top 10 referring members and top 10 Regions in new member and retention percentage will be recognized monthly in Inside Line and SportsCar Magazine. To be eligible for the member rewards, a member must be in good standing through December 31, 2010. Regions must also be in good standing to be eligible for rewards.

An individual is recognized as a “new” member if they have never previously belonged to SCCA or have not been a member in the six months prior to the date of the new membership. A new member with a corresponding family or spouse membership counts only as one new membership for the contest.

New members may join one of two ways, either online or through a mail-in or fax-in form. Online, applicants may click on the “Join Now” button at www.scca.com and submit the online application. To obtain a paper form or membership brochure, contact SCCA’s Member Services Department at (800) 770-2055. For a current member to receive credit for the Membership Drive and Contest, the new member must include the referring members name and membership number on either the online application or the mail/fax-in form.

Full details of the Membership Drive and Contest are available at http://www.scca.com/documents/membership/SCCA Membership Contest Rules R3.pdf.

Wannarka Named New SCCA BOD Chairman; 2010 Board and Committee Appointments Announced

Wannarka

TOPEKA, Kan. (Dec. 9, 2009) – In its final meeting of 2009, the Sports Car Club of America Board of Directors selected Jerry Wannarka, of Glenwood, Md., as its chairman for 2010. The Board also approved appointments for the various SCCA boards and committees that will govern the organization throughout 2010.

A Washington DC Region member currently in his third year as the Director for Area Two, Wannarka’s interest in motorsports began with autocrossing, rallies and ice racing in Minnesota. He joined SCCA in 1966, earning his competition license in 1967, which he still holds to this day. Wannarka has several Regional and Divisional Championships to his credit. He has also been heavily involved behind the scenes, stewarding since the 1980’s, serving on the DC Region Board of Directors and most recently acting as Secretary for the SCCA BOD in 2009.

A veteran of the U.S. Army, Wannarka holds a Ph.D. in Pharmacology from Purdue University and has specialized in medical research and development. After retiring from the Army at the rank of Colonel, he held positions at the Vice President and Senior Vice President level with several pharmaceutical companies.  He is currently a consultant to the pharmaceutical industry.

“It is a great honor to be named Chairman of the SCCA Board of Directors,” Wannarka said. “I look forward to strengthening our fine club with an emphasis on increasing participation, and ensuring that every member enjoys his or her time with the SCCA as much as I have.”

SCCA Announces 2010 Hall of Fame Class

TOPEKA, Kan. (Dec. 1, 2009) - Sports Car Club of America has revealed the names of the five individuals who will be inducted into the SCCA Hall of Fame at the 2010 SCCA National Convention. The distinguished group includes: Nick Craw, Briggs Cunningham, R. David Jones, Berdie Martin and Wayne Zitkus.

The SCCA National Hall of Fame was created in 2004 to preserve, protect and record the history and accomplishments of the Club by acknowledging those members who’ve made a significant impact on the development of the SCCA, be it through service to the national organization, achievements in national competition or brining national recognition to SCCA. Nominations were submitted to and reviewed by the Hall of Fame Nomination and Selection Committees. Of the nominated individuals, five were selected for the 2010 Class.

Serving as SCCA President for 17 years, Nick Craw was the longest serving SCCA President in Club history by more than a decade. During his tenure, SCCA experienced its greatest period of growth, as membership doubled and revenue increased by more than 500 percent. Craw oversaw the creation of SCCA Club Racing’s most popular class, Spec Racer Ford, and implemented an industry-leading insurance plan for race workers and drivers. The opinion of the membership was important to Craw; he regularly conducted surveys and interacted with members on the grassroots level, taking his race car on a tour of SCCA Club Races and challenging members to “Beat the Boss.” Recognizing that SCCA was too big to be just a club, but tied too strongly to its roots to be just a business, Craw pushed SCCA to become a stronger club, run with sound business practices. Today, Craw’s foresight is being put to use as the head of the Automobile Competition Club of the United States (ACCUS), where he represents American racing interests at the international level.

Briggs Cunningham is already recognized by several motorsports hall of fames and now joins his SCCA contemporaries John Fitch, Cameron Argetsinger and Bill Milliken in the SCCA Hall of Fame. Cunningham competed in SCCA’s very first road race at Watkins Glen in 1948 and continued to have an illustrious racing career that spanned 25 years. He was best known as the first man to assemble a team of American cars with American drivers that was capable of challenging Europeans on the international circuit. The most successful cars in Cunningham’s stable were those that bore his own name. Cunningham was also an accomplished sailor, serving as captain on the Columbia in 1958 when it won the America’s Cup. Cunningham was a past recipient of SCCA’s highest honor, the Woolf Barnato Award.

Another Woolf Barnato Award winner in the crowd of inductees is R. David Jones, whose 50-plus year membership in SCCA began while he was in quest of a drag race. When Jones arrived at Eagle Moutain Air Base in Texas, there was no drag racing, but rather an SCCA event. Not deterred, Jones stuck around to volunteer and was hooked. Volunteering led to crewing and crewing to driving, all while Jones became more involved in the operation of his local region. Racing in Formula Vee and holding a variety of Divisional positions, Jones was eventually elected to the Board of Directors, where he would serve as Chairman for a record seven years. Those years were some of the most turbulent in Club history, with the creation of Spec Racer Ford and the purchase of Pro-Solo by SCCA. Jones continues to race today in Formula Mazda and serve as a race steward. He was recently elected to another term on the SCCA Board of Directors.

Burdette “Berdie” Martin is credited with making SCCA a powerful force on the American professional racing scene. Another Woolf Barnato Award winner, Martin was a mentor to a generation of race stewards by setting an example of professionalism and teamwork. He served as the Chief Steward of the Unites States Grand Prix and SCCA’s two most successful racing series, Can-Am and Trans-Am, before being named Director of SCCA Pro Racing. After seeing SCCA Pro Racing through a fruitful era of expansion, Martin went on to head ACCUS and became one of the most recognizable American faces within international racing circles.

Though he has not actively competed for the last 25 years, Wayne Zitkus remains sixth in lifetime RoadRally points. His rallying career began in 1962 with road rallies, before expanding his participation to Performance Rally. After chairing numerous National and Divisional rallies he was named Chairman of the Road Rally Board. The SCCA ProRally series was created during his tenure. Zitkus was elected to the SCCA Board of Directors and served the club as treasurer. Even after his elected term had expired, so esteemed was he in his position, that Zitkus was asked to stay on as treasurer. His induction into the SCCA Hall of Fame completes a long list of SCCA accolades, which include both the Arthur Gervais and Robert Ridges Award for rallying and the Woolf Barnato Award for outstanding contributions to the club.

Craw, Cunningham, Jones, Martin and Zitkus will be inducted into the SCCA Hall of Fame at the 2010 SCCA National Convention in Las Vegas. The ceremony is scheduled to take place at 7 p.m. (PST), Saturday, Jan. 30, at the South Point Hotel and Casino.

The five inductees will join the five previous classes, including:

2005: Cameron Argetsinger, A. Tracy Bird, John Fitch, Arthur Gervais, Harry Handley, Vern Jaques, Bill Milliken, Sue Roethel, Art Trier and Rob Walker.

2006: John Bornholdt, John Buffum, Mark Donohue, Denise McCluggage and Grant Reynolds.

2007: Marge Binks, Marc Gerstein, Carl A. Haas, General Curtis E. LeMay, and Theodore F. Robertson.

2008: Roger E. Johnson, Don and Ruth Nixon, Kjell Qvale, Robert Ridges and Fred Schmucker.

2009: Bill Chambres, Bill Johnson, Kim Kimberly, Paul Newman and John Timanus


2010 NEDiv Council

Annual Waiver Hard Card

Introduction

SCCA requires that a release and waiver form be signed by all persons entering event premises that are not open to the general public. To improve the registration process and reduce paper work at a Region level, the SCCA has now adopted an Annual Waiver Program as described in the following sections. This is an OPTIONAL program for participants. The annual waiver program itself will be valid at ALL SCCA events. All other waiver procedures and requirements, as stated in the current Risk Management Release and Waiver Guidelines, remain in effect except if superseded by these procedures.

In addition, any region that has already established an annual waiver program, we ask that they adopt this program so that we have consistency in forms and recordkeeping. All original SCCA Annual Waiver forms will be kept on file with Member Services at the SCCA office in Topeka, KS.

Annual Waiver Form and Application

Beginning with January 2009 renewals members will have the opportunity to participate in an SCCA Annual Waiver program. Members holding a competition license or those that have worked at least two days in the previous year will, upon completion of the Annual Waiver Form, receive their Hard Card free of charge. Similar to the current Hard Card issuance, all other members will pay $10 and complete the Annual Waiver Form. Members can report their days worked via their log-in on scca.com.

To participate, members need to complete both sides of the Annual Waiver. The Annual Waiver must be witnessed by either a licensed registrar or notarized. Submit the signed and witnessed Annual Waiver to SCCA and the member will be issued a Photo ID Hard Card. An Annual Waiver will expire on the member’s renewal date. Annual Waiver Forms will be included in each member’s renewal package. From the SCCA website, members may also print the Annual Waiver in color, upload their photo and mail the completed annual waiver and appropriate fees to Member Services for processing.

We request that any member that is within three months of their membership expiration, pay their dues at the time when the Annual Waiver is submitted. This will help control costs in issuing multiple cards and signing multiple waivers.

Event Procedure

As the SCCA Annual Waiver only covers our events and processes, members may still be required to sign a separate waiver at some facilities as each venue has their own requirements.

Any member presenting a valid SCCA Photo ID Hard Card will not be required to sign the event waiver form. For regions with bar code scanners, the Hard Card can be scanned to collect the membership number. Members would not need to check in at registration unless additional event information was available or required.

For membership expiring in 2009, SCCA Hard Cards will be imprinted with a blue stripe with embedded expiration date for ease of identification. Memberships that expire in 2010 will have a red stripe. Subsequent years will have a different color stripe for differentiation. In any given calendar year, two colors may be valid, so it is imperative to verify the expiration date.

In the event that an Incident Report needs to be recorded at an event involving a member with an Annual Waiver, it will need to be noted on the Incident Report as “Annual Waiver on File”.

For driver’s that are placed on probation, your Annual Waiver Hard Card will be confiscated (per GCR 4.4.10.A) and the Probation Letter will indicate that you have an SCCA Annual Waiver on file.
