A Guide to Registration
by Kay Imig, Chief Registrar
To ease the frustration factor that some individuals experience when going
through Registration, the friendly Registration staff would like to present to you a handy
dandy reference guide of all the required documents and forms that you need to bring with
you to an event. Please feel free to keep this checklist handy so that you can refer to it
while packing so that nothing will be missed. Please note that not all credentials are
required for everyone.
Credentials Checklist
Current SCCA Membership Card
(required for all drivers, workers and crew members at SCCA sanctioned events). The
National Office sends you two cards when you renew your membership. The card with you
name, address, member number and expiration date is your membership card. The other card
is the license portion. Your membership date must be valid at the time you register at an
event. If the event falls over a month end, your membership card does not have to be valid
through the date at the end of the event; it only needs to be valid when you go through
Registration. (This is new this year). |
Photo ID
This is a valid SCCA photo ID that can be purchased at most events. Please note
that this photo ID does not need to be on the back of your current SCCA membership card.
In fact, if it is a separate photo ID it will never expire, unlike your membership card
that expires every year forcing you to get a new photo ID every year. Vehicle
Log Book
This is required by the Tech people in order to have your vehicle checked by Tech
for the weekend. |
Current Worker License
Your "license" card may contain only asterisks or the words "NONE
APPLIED FOR". This is bad! (But can be taken care of at the track if necessary by
filling out a regional license form). This occurs because the National office sends out a
new membership card as soon as your membership renewal is processed. Your divisional or
national specialty license renewals will not be processed until your membership renewal is
validated. If you sent in your license renewals, you should receive another complete set
of cards indicating your licenses. |
Minor Waivers
This can be either a HOT PINK minor photo (we can sell you one in Registration at
the track for $3.00 if both guardians are there to fill out a new waiver form) or a pink
copy of the Minor Waiver form with the event line stating "ALL" events. You can
also fill out a waiver at the event, but if you are the only parent/guardian there, that
waiver will be good for that event only. Drivers School Waiver
If you would like a drivers school waived, you as a driver must submit to the
Chief Steward of the event, in writing, a letter stating your experience (with supporting
documentation) and why you feel the school should be waived. This will be collected with
your Novice permit and turned over to the Chief Steward. |
Current Competition License
(required for those of you that are going to compete at the event) This
can be in the following forms: (1) the license portion of your membership card indicating
a regional or national competition license, (2) A Dual or Pro hard card (you still need a
valid membership card), (3) A valid Novice permit showing that the expiration date is
beyond the date of the event. (4) A current yellow probation letter. It is the driver's
responsibility to give any probation letter to the Chief Steward of the event and to get
the probation letter back from the Chief Steward at the end of the event. If the license
portion of your cards is full or asterisks and/or says "NONE APPLIED FOR", you
are in big trouble. This means you have no license. You cannot get one at the track. You
will be pretty much SOL (out of luck) unless the chief steward is willing to accept an
affidavit (with $100, $75 of which is refundable once your license is verified). |
Guests and Crew Members
Drivers, if someone is not on your crew/guest list you will be asked to return to
Registration to add their name. If you are a worker, your guest will not be allowed to
come in if their name is not on the list. We in Registration try our hardest to
accommodate those poor individuals that show up at the track and do not have their names
on anyone's list. This is, however, an uncomfortable situation we would rather avoid so
PLEASE make sure your guest/crew is listed. We dislike turning people away that have
driven hours to see a friend or family member. Also please advise your guest that they are
not allowed to bring a guest. This is not a real problem for a spectator event. The
guest's guest will be asked to pay an admission fee. But in the situation of a closed
event this again becomes a difficult situation. |
Other Handy Tips and Hints
Please be sure to tell your Crew and Guests the Registration hours.Remember that
some Crew/Guests may need to pay an entrance fee to get in. It may be nice to tell them
this in advance. We have heard some pretty sad and unbelievable tales about being unable
to eat because they had to pay an entrance fee.
Drivers: Be sure that the entry form is filled out completely. This will save
you time in line at Registration since you will be required to complete all missing
information before you are admitted. Remember to enclose a check, money order, cashiers
check and credit card information with your entry. We do not have a legitimate entry until
we have payment for the entry. This means that if you have a national number it does not
have to be reserved for you since we do not have a legitimate entry.
