(Looking for an inside line on the Club? “Inside the SCCA” is a podcast that features interviews with the Club’s leading personalities, but it’s not owned by SCCA®. Instead, it’s an independent media outlet managed by Rule 15 Productions and hosted by longtime SCCA member and journalist Brian Bielanski. He uses the Club’s name with permission.)
On this week’s Inside the SCCA podcast special, host Brian Bielanski sits down with Tiffany Bingheim, the Flag Chief for the legendary SCCA® National Championship Runoffs® Presented by Sunoco at Road America. Tiffany pulls back the curtain on the massive volunteer effort required to run an event that fields hundreds of competitors over a full week of intense, National Championship road racing.
From the seemed chaos of scheduling and managing a team of 100 flaggers to the vital importance of volunteer retention (and good trackside lunches!), Tiffany shares her journey. Hear how she went from discovering Road America at age 21 to becoming a Division Administrator and leading the Flagging & Communications team for the Runoffs.
