Flagging and
Communications (F&C)
This worker takes a position
along the course and uses flags and hand signals to communicate track
conditions to each driver. This position serves as first responder
to any incident on the course, maintains, the link between the steward
and the drivers, and keeps the fun moving at all times. These
people go home dirty. More on flagging
Marshal
Marshals oversee activity in
the paddock, at the start, on the course, and in the pits.
Marshals get their face next to the race, snort the fumes, and keep it
real.
Starter
if your idea of fun is to have
all eyes focused intently on you while you savor your moment of total
control, you'll have great fun being a starter. The starter also
calls the end of the race, and is hooked into the communications
network.
Emergency Services
If you have training medical
response, fire fighting or vehicle recovery expertise, you can put your
specialized skills to work by providing crucial event support.
While there is nothing fun about emergency situations, these folks are
the lifesavers. |

Scrutineer
Scrutineers get real fun
when they’re poking around under the hood. Pre-race safety inspections,
preparation compliance, post-race inspections, mechanical teardowns. If
you like to stick your nose in stuff, and know how it works, this is the
job for you.
Timing and Scoring
These positions collect
the numbers that tell the story – who drove how fast
and in what place each driver finished the race. You’re on the computer,
using advanced technology to measure, collate, verify and deliver the
results.
Registrar
The registrar is the intake person.
Meet and greet arriving participants and issue and verify their
credentials. Be the first official face they see, point them to where
they need to be and make sure everyone gets started on the right track.
Steward
Run the show. Make sure everyone is
doing what they’re supposed to be doing. Verify that everyone knows the
rules and follows the rules. Keep everyone safe. Solve problems. Make
sure everyone gets real fun.
Workers & Officials Programs
Getting involved as a worker or
official is as easy as going to a local event and volunteering to help.
Workers are issued a license just like the competition drivers, and can
work their way up through the four levels of licenses by participating
at different events and gaining the knowledge and experience necessary
to hold a national specialty license. SCCA licensed workers help staff
most of the motorsport events held in the United States in one capacity
or another. (Read
