Data Acquisition Volunteer of the Year

First Awarded in 2017

Race Data Acquisition volunteers manage the gathering of technical data to provide the Road Racing Competition Committee and its Advisory Committees with materials to assist with developing and mainting car class rules. As the sport’s reliance on data technology has grown, so has the importance of this specialty. The SCCA® Race Data Acquisition Volunteer of the Year recognizes the member whose technical expertise and critical-analysis ability keeps our rules making process moving.

Eligibility:

Award recipients demonstrate advanced technical proficiency with data acquisition and interpretation. They show dedication throughout the season to their specialty, SCCA events, Regions, competitors, fellow volunteers, and the Club as a whole, and exhibit strong skills, good leadership, and a willingness to go above and beyond what is expected to offer excellent customer service.

Nomination Information:

SCCA members submit nominations, with winners selected by SCCA National Staff with input from Division leadership. If a nomination is not received for a specific specialty, a Volunteer of the Year Award may not be presented that year.
