trackside recruitment
Thank you for your interest in SCCA® Trackside volunteer recruitment. If you have any questions regarding the assets on this page, please reach out to the Volunteer Development Facilitator, Sydney Yagel.
We can help
Utilize branded flags and banners to help recruit volunteers at car shows, pro events, and other community events.
The rental kit is available to regions/divisions on a first come, first serve basis. There is no cost for the rental, however, the region/division is responsible for shipping (both to and from your location) and replacing any items that may be damaged.
If you are interested in purchasing a kit, the estimated cost for two feather flags and two banners is $300, before taxes and shipping. You will have the option to customize your kit to your needs as you would place an order directly with the vendor.
For information on how to rent or purchase a kit, send us an email and we’ll happily help!
Recruitment Script
This script is designed to assist you with recruitment efforts and helps us keeps a consistent message across all Regions and Divisions. Think of this as a starting point that will enable you to add personal experiences to make the discussion genuine and as exciting as volunteering at Road Races.
The following videos can be shared and linked to on your region/division’s social channels. Additional assets for other volunteer specialties are being developed and will be posted when available.

QR Code
We’ve created a QR code that can be used by any Region or Division that, when scanned, leads a potential future trackside volunteer to the page on our website that provides the information they need to take the next step. You can use this code on any printed collateral you may design including posters, postcards, business cards, or anything in between.
Postcard
The postcard is designed to be printed double-sided with your Region/Division details on the back. In the example below, I put the Southwest Division schedule and logo, plus left space for a QR code to take the viewer to the website.
There are three options to download:
- Canva Template (preferred method)
- Use the online graphic design platform to customize the back of your postcard with event dates and logo(s)
- Easily order printed postcards from the same website
- Word Template
- PDF: Front & Back
- Download the files using the buttons below
- Use a graphic editing program (Canva, InDesign, Photoshop) to add your custom text to the back file
- Print them at a local print shop or online
- Dimensions are 5.5 inches wide by 4.5 inches tall
If you have any issues adding your text, you can reach out to Sydney for assistance.
Business Cards
There are two options for business cards. One is a general use card with the photos and the trackside information and the other can be customized with your region logo. Both links will take you to the online graphic design platform, Canva, where you can order generic cards to be printed or easily add your region logo before ordering cards.
Yard Signs
This design is 18″ tall by 24″ wide, a standard size for yard (political campaign) signs. Simply download the file and have it printed at your local or online print shop. If you’re looking for a local option, FedEx Kinkos is often a go-to.
QR Code Patch
Add this patch to your trackside whites or your backpack, and you’ll be able to help someone sign up to be a trackside volunteer easier than ever! Available now in SCCA’s Member Account Portal.
Call for Recruitment
We’ve developed these email templates to be used by Regions and Divisions so that we are using consistent, informative emails when recruiting volunteers for upcoming events.
There are five templates designed for the following audiences:
- Recruiting licensed/experience marshals from your region/division who are familiar with the track
- Recruiting licensed/experience marshals from your region/division who are not familiar with your region/division’s procedures and/or the track
- Recruiting SCCA members from other program areas of your region or division who may not be familiar with your region/division’s procedures and/or the track
- Recruiting those who are interested without experience (these could be leads generated from recruitment events, trackside emails, or word of mouth)
-
Recruiting students from high schools, technical colleges, and universities for various specialties through curriculum/degree programs and/or extracurricular clubs/activities
The latest addition to our recruitment efforts are print to order t-shirts and hoodies, and they are available now!
Region Contacts
