From the Sports Car Club of America National Events Committee
Dear RoadRally Enthusiasts,
The National Events Committee (NEC) is happy to share a tentative RoadRally schedule for National Rallies in 2022. One issue has caused us some concern; the first three weekends in September have National Championship events.
There are three Committees in the structure of the SCCA RoadRally Program. The Road Rally Board (RRB) is in charge of the Program. Two Committees serve and report to the RRB: the NEC and RoadRally Regional Development Committee (RRDC). The RRDC works with Regions and their local Rally Programs. The NEC’s main tasks are the National rally program, approving and accepting Sanction requests, and keeping the RoadRally Rules (RRRs) current and viable. The NEC works in conjunction with the RRB sharing ideas and tasks as we proceed with our duties.
When three rally Organizing Committees each requested approval of Sanctions on three consecutive weekends, we were concerned. The NEC contacted all three Organizing Committees to see if they could change their dates. We also reached out to several competitors who might be negatively affected by the September dates. Many factors affect the date selection. Some of these factors involve things that are not readily apparent: personal family events, family vacations, other SCCA events in a Region, other sports that committee members are interested in, such as hunting season in parts of the country.
The NEC met on December 1 to discuss the concern. All five members of the NEC were present, and four of the five members of the RRB, including the RRB Chair. We voted to approve all three of the Sanctions requested on their requested dates. While having consecutive weekends is not ideal, it is the best solution. A factor in the decision is the high quality of the Organizing Committees, and denying them dates would be detrimental to those with a long history of working for the SCCA RoadRally Program.
Contact the NEC at nec@scca.com Contact the RRB at rrb@scca.com Contact the RRDC at rrdc@scca.com. Members’ comments and ideas are always welcome!
Sincerely, Jim Wakemen, NEC Co-Chair
