As shelter-in-place orders continue to be lifted and allowances for the size of gatherings grow, many SCCA regions are starting to host events across the country, and we are happy to announce that the long-anticipated online waiver–called SpeedWaiver–has been approved for use for SCCA events.

SpeedWaiver is a service–offered by Hagerty Motorsports, LLC–that allows event participants to sign the event waiver electronically and contribute further to running physically distanced events in order to keep participants and staff safe.

For Event Participants

Once a region signs up for SpeedWaiver, no sign in or pre-registration is required to sign an SCCA waiver. So, whether you’re a guest, a walk-up, a driver or a worker, you can sign the waiver in a digital format right from your own phone with a quick three-step process.

Step 1: Visit the waiver link provided via email, text or by scanning a QR code onsite

Step 2: Enter your name and phone number, take a selfie with the app, read and sign the waiver

Step 3: Show your digital credential at the gate or check-in when you arrive at the event

Regions have the option to employ the functionality at a nominal cost from SpeedWaiver, so stay tuned for specific announcements from the region(s) where you participate.

As a Region Leader

All pricing for the product is direct from SpeedWaiver and starts at $5/month for up to 10 waivers and $29/month for 125 signed waivers each month (there are bigger plans as well). And, they automatically upgrade and downgrade your plan based on usage, so you won’t have to worry about downgrading your plan for months you have fewer or no events.

Currently, the approval of SpeedWaiver for SCCA regions and events only covers the next 60 days. However, we anticipate an agreement will be reached within that time to offer the service for future events as well.

For additional information, head over to SpeedWaiver.com. The site has all the details, a demo video, pricing and direct support for getting started.

Bonus!

While SpeedWaiver can take care of specific event waivers, annual waivers will continue to be an analog process… but with a new digital twist. That’s because last week, we launched the ability for you to upload important documents to your Member Account Portal instead of mailing (or emailing) it. Just sign it and get it witnessed, then scan and upload it straight to the Membership department for review.  To upload, just sign in, head to “My Profile” and locate the “My Documents” area where you’ll find the upload button.  

Do you want to try a ProSolo, but just aren’t sure how it works? Have you heard it’s just for Pros and the format is super confusing? Do you think you are not good enough to participate in a ProSolo?

SCCA Starting Line program has introduced hundreds of students to autocross, and now brings the SCCA Starting Line ProLaunch Experience to do the same for the Tire Rack ProSolo season.

The SCCA Starting Line ProLaunch Experience uses a team of successful ProSolo veterans who still remember the nerves of their first events to show you the ins and outs of a ProSolo and the variations from a traditional autocross event. From the unique grid to those crazy lights that say you can hit the throttle and go, instructors will support you in a fun and welcoming environment.

What Wil I Learn?

The SCCA Starting Line ProLaunch Experience is designed to help students better understand how the SCCA’s ProSolo events run. It will also give participants an excellent opportunity to learn how the “drag race” start works with an instructor by their side. Please keep in mind that this is not your typical Driving School, as the actual driving is limited to practice starts only. Each student will receive at least 12 practice starts, with coaching throughout the weekend.

Who is this for?

Anyone entered in a given ProSolo is able to participate. If learning autocross tips is a more valuable resource, checking into a traditional Starting Line School may be a more appropriate course. Do you typically compete in Regional events, but want to try out a ProSolo? This is the place for you! Have you come to a ProSolo and realized you need to work on your launches and reaction time? Ditto. Here we are!

When is the program?

The ProLaunch Experience will take place at each remaining 2020 Tire Rack ProSolo event. Coaching and work begin at 1 p.m. on Friday and continues through the weekend with additional tips, tricks and pointers.

What’s the cost?

The SCCA Starting Line ProLaunch Experience is available to anyone already entered in the ProSolo at just $65. This does not include a ProSolo entry fee — which is an obviously integral part of the experience.
