<fontfamily><param>Helvetica</param><bigger>Hi folks,
Due to a combination of recent retirements, and movements of members
between SCCA committees, the SCCA Stock Classification Advisory
Committee (SCAC) now has a couple of openings. If you'd like to
apply, check out the following:
What does the SCAC do? Basically we look at new vehicles to determine
where they fit in the existing class structure and make recommendations
to the Solo Events Board. We do not have any power to classify
vehicles. That's ultimately the job of the SEB. We simply serve as
the SEB's research arm on these issues. Dealing with and defining the
"existing class structure" is also important, as it changes a bit every
year due to the continual influx of new vehicles. It's very dynamic
and challenging. It can also be very rewarding- you'll learn a lot
and help maintain the club's vitality.
The job is strictly volunteer. We meet at the SCCA Solo2 Nationals
each year, and up to once a month via conference calls. Access to
email is becoming essential to keep up with the frequent changes is
manufacturer product, and continual flow of information between the
membership and the committees that serve them.
Here's a sketch of what's required:
Someone with a decent analytical capacity. An ability to talk openly
and frankly about issues. (Courtesy is mandatory.) One must be able
to really listen to others.... others on the committees, the SEB, and
within the membership at large. A working understanding of vehicular
dynamics is a real plus. Also needed is the ability to travel to
events (Regional, Divisional, National) to see what's happening out
there and determine whether the classing theories are in line with what
happens when the rubber meets the road. One must have a good history
of events. That is, the candidate also needs lots of SCCA Solo2
years. Understanding what's gone on in the past provides one with some
perspective to make decisions which may shape the future. One should
be prepared to spend more than a year on this committee.
Still interested? Please email, or write a letter to Howard Duncan at
the SCCA : 9033 E. Easter Place, Englewood, CO 80112
Sincerely,
The SCAC</bigger></fontfamily>
