Waivers:
It is strongly recommended that SCCA members apply for yearlong waivers, aka “hard cards.” To receive a hard card, click must here to log into your SCCA account. Then, print out a waiver form and either 1) have it notarized, or 2) sign it with an SCCA member witness. You may bring the yearlong waiver form to an event and sign it in front of the waiver worker, which would fulfill the requirements for a hard card.
Any site-specific waiver forms will still need to be signed when entering the site for the first time with the waiver worker.
We will also hold an on-site drivers meeting to answer any questions that entrants may have.
There will likely be an awards ceremony after the event at Beaverton Bowl (3325 S, M-18, Beaverton, MI 48612). Trophies may be distributed either at the event, afterward at the ceremony, sent to entrants after the event (by request), or at the annual Awards Banquet the following year.
