Future Tech Inspectors/Scrutineers

[bimmertech]

If you are interested in obtaining your Scrutineer's license you should plan to be at our annual inspection party at Element Garage on Saturday, February 8th.

If you shadowed during the club race last year you can be signed off for a license after working the inspection day. We need someone from our region to step up and do this!

You can obtain a Regional Scrutineer (Club Racing) or a TT Tech inspector Apprentice license just by asking SCCA to add it to your membership. That is the easy part and does not show that you actually know anything.

It takes the next step up as a Scrutineer (Divisional) or TT Tech Inspector (Official) in order to do annual tech inspections for GCR cars or TT Cars respectively.

The answer is to shadow someone like Rich or Mark or Myself when these inspections are done. Watch, participate, and learn! It also helps to be familiar with the GCR and TTR so that you might know what you are looking for when you tech a car.

Rich and I are both over 65 so you might guess that our future doing this could be considered somewhat limited. Mark is a bit younger but still an OGRE. We really need someone with a few more years left on the clock to become certified from both TVR and Alabama.

Being considered a racing region or a TT region is not all about having the drivers. Without the indigenous workers (tech, registrar, F&C, T&S, Event Administration, etc.), our Regions would be blowing hot air to say we were those. If all you do is drive, then you are only a customer and not a true contributing member to a club that is all volunteer.

I thought that we had a few people get the apprentice license at the club race on Labor Day weekend. If you did, and would like to move further, it would be great to attend this Tech party and move forward with your license.

Thanks so much,
