Sound Control Volunteer of the Year

First Awarded in 1986

Sound Control volunteers monitor and enforce SCCA’s sound regulations at Road Race events, ensuring competitions remain compliant with local ordinances and host facility requirements. Their work is low-profile but high-stakes — protecting the Club’s relationships with the venues and surrounding communities that make racing possible. Each year since 1985, the SCCA Sound Control Volunteer of the Year has recognized the member whose expertise and professionalism in this specialty helps safeguard the future of the sport.

Eligibility:

Award recipients demonstrate expertise in sound measurement and SCCA sound regulations, the ability to communicate technical requirements clearly to competitors and teams, and the judgment to work constructively toward compliance. 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.
