To all NCR and other region SCCA Workers Please
Read:
Throughout 2004
for our SCCA and contracted events we will require pre-registration on
the http://www.ncrscca.com/workers.htm
NCR Web site for the events you plan to work, no later than the Tuesday
evening of the event weekend. This requirement is to ensure you are on
the worker list which will be provided to VIR Security and will avoid
a $20.00 cost you will be charged. Please note pre-registration via
http://www.ncrscca.com/workers.htm
is irregardless of Registration hours and your $20 will be collected at
the Security gate if you are not on the worker list before you can proceed.
Moral of the story: For 2004, please pre-register so Chuck Stanley can
have in hand a worker list that is planned for, accurate and will avoid
a personal out-of-pocket expense for anyone of our wonderful volunteers.
PDX at The Rock
This was truly a great
experience. My instructer Chris was really great. I
complement his patience for repeatedly telling me not to oversteer.
I have
developed a lot of bad habits while driving over the last 42 years
and he
proved to me that holding the line and giving it up on the entry
would
improve my apex and exits. He was right. I would do this again and
might
pay more but, when you look at the fact that it cost me 4 tires, two
motor
mounts and three tanks of gas, the entry fee was probably one of the
cheaper
of all the expenses. I heard a lot of good things about VIR and
would
probably consider that if I could afford it but, probably wouldn't
plan on
more than one event at most per year. Ron was great and has quite
the
talent for the classroom briefings. I look forward to doing this
again no
matter where it is held next. Thanks to all those that made this
possible
and gave up their time for us to play.

I had a great time at
the PDX this past weekend. Yes I would attend
Rockingham again but would be willing to try another track. Would
probably
do 2 a year. 250 would be the most as with gas and everything else
we're
looking at about 500 for the weekend. My instructor was great and he
made me
feel comfortable.....not sure if I can say the same for him. I would
like to
thank everyone for the opportunity to be able to do a PDX. I was
disapointed
when the first one was cancelled. Thanks to all who put it together
and to
the corner workers for being willing to give their time so we could
have all
the fun. If possible could you put something in the newsletter about
how
much we appreciate the time and effort everyone gave and for the
instructors
being willing to come out so we could do this. I'm sure that most
everyone
else feels the same way. Now the fire has been kindled I hope it
won't get
snuffed out.

Job well done
Mark,
This past week end at Kershaw, I was speaking with a driver over
lunch
break concerning the various tracks. When I found he is running a
SRF &
an IT car this season, I suggested he might like to enter our 13
hour
race. He then made the following statements: He ran the 13 hour race
last year.
He considered it the most professionally run club event he had
attended
and a model for the way races should be conducted. He singled out
Ginny
and registration as being particular impressive.
We get enough complaints, so I thought you might like to hear from a
satisfied customer.

What a great
weekend.Opening registration in the middle of the afternoon allows
those doing the test day to register before the later arrivals.
Tech was busy with the usual early season inspections.
Some one made up a
very workable time line, and the operating stewards
maintained the schedule.
At the drivers's
meeting Chief Steward emphasized that at the start of the Enduros he
would employ "Judges of the Start". Clyde Kiser explained the
procedure of maintaining the pace speed as the pace car proceeds
along pit lane. There were no observed violations during the
starts.
Sound reported
that the " paperwork " associated with the placement of the sound
station was missing. He measured his setup to make it compliant. It
seems that the sound station is portable and is moved away during
motorcycle races.
Race Chair is to
be thanked for taking such good care of the cornerworkers. Many
organizers could do well to follow her lead.
E.V.s willingness
to do hot pick ups helps to move things along. They are very
careful, and will ask for an alternate plan if they deem it
necessary.
Timing did a good
job, without delays, and forwarded the results by E Mail promptly.
We could have used
a few more stewards. What a great weekend . The only guy I saw idle
was the Safety Steward, and we are all pleased with that.
Regards,
Dave
