Timing & Scoring Volunteer of the Year

First Awarded in 1985

Timing & Scoring volunteers are the keepers of the official record — they time every lap, count every pass, and produce the results that determine pole positions, race winners, and championship standings. Their accuracy is non-negotiable, and their work in the timing tower touches every competitor at every event. Each year since 1985, the SCCA® Timing & Scoring Volunteer of the Year has recognized the member whose precision, reliability, and dedication to getting it right makes official results possible.

Eligibility:

Award recipients demonstrate exceptional accuracy and attention to detail, proficiency with SCCA timing systems and procedures, the ability to perform reliably under time pressure, and a commitment to producing results that competitors and the Club can stand behind. 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.
