[DMVR] Chief Stewards As.....

[Marina Kraft]

Dan -

Let me tell you how wrong I feel you are in your analogy below, I would not say its apples to oranges.  Solo and Road Racing are 2 entities that SCCA has to offer.  Both groups fall under the SCCA umbrella, insurance, and both groups follow very similar, if not some of same rules to operate an event.  This from applying for sanction, applying for insurance, to audit followup of an event, even identifying chiefs.  I would encourage you to take a look at the GCR and compare it to the Solo Rules book, I think you will see how similar some things are.  

Whether is Solo, or a Road race, the organizers for the event and the chiefs have a big responsiblity to follow & enforce SCCA rules that are written to ensure maximum safety to competitors, workers, crews, and spectators.  In following rules and maximizing safety it will minimize the liability to the club as a whole, and your region.

I would encourage anyone, be it from our Solo program, or Racing, or Rally to embrace the knowledge of your fellow members.  We have a wealth of knowledge in our members, all anyone has to do is ask for some help.  Amazingly, DMVR people are always there to pitch in.

Not just "another racer",  I have had a little experience in the race event planning and execution. I encourage you to look outside your box and enjoy what DMVR and its members have to offer.

Isn't comparing Road Racing to Solo like comparing apples to oranges? Since you are asking road race people you may also want to contact NHRA, NASCAR, IRL, CART, D1 (drifting) and who ever else I have missed.  They are all different forms of motorsports and have different rules so you cannot compare them to each other.

  ...competitors. The question to all of you experienced (notice that I  did 
  not say old) workers:
   
  Do any of you know whether or not a Chief (or any other steward) can race  on 
  the same weekend that they are working to fill their working duties? I have  
  yet to find anything in the GCR concerning this and am looking for  
  anecdotal's/opinions from this you folks.
