For 2006 the SCCA SFR Solo II Steering Committee (SC) has adopted a new
run/work format for the Championship autocross series.
The main objective for implementing the new format is to be able, more
consistently, to have adequate numbers of workers for each group and, in
turn, minimize/eliminate the delays caused while chairs take the time to
solicit, and then wait for, volunteers to work more than one work
assignment. Obviously as an additional objective, this change is also
intended, by requiring fewer volunteer workers, to more equally spread the
work time amongst all participants.
The new format, listed below, has six run/work groups with three before and
three after the break.
run 1st, work 2nd
run 2nd, work 3rd
run 3rd , work 1st
break
run 4th, work 5th
run 5th, work 6th
run 6th, work 4th
As you can see, unlike either of our previous eight or six run/work formats,
four of the work groups are scheduled immediately following their,
respective, run group. Accordingly, in order to facilitate on-the-fly worker
changeovers, thereby minimizing changeover times between run groups, all
competitors in these four run/work groups must exit the grid area
immediately after running, park their vehicles and quickly report for their
work assignments.
Additionally, the season's complete schedule, as developed by Jeremy Rine
and approved by the SC, at the 1-17-06 SC meeting, will be posted on the web
in the next few days as soon as the dates/sites are finalized.
