BSAC Voting
#32598 from Steve Introne · No action required · Minutes (2022-07 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The SCCA Club Racing Rule Making Process is documented on the SCCA web site under Road Racing
Rules; this is not a purely democratic process as you suggest. The Advisory Committees are a key element in the process. In the
course of their work, they are often privy to intellectual property which requires confidentiality. The publishing of committee
voting could easily lead to pressure being brought to bear on individual committee members putting them in position where
they could not explain their vote without breaking confidences. As you can imagine It is nearly impossible to staff an unpaid
volunteer committee for a class without people who are deeply invested in that class and who, if lacking integrity, could attempt
to benefit from their position of responsibility. The CRB, Board of Directors, and SCCA National Staff are cognizant of this “issue”
and monitor BoP and Rule changes accordingly. We are aware it is not a perfect system. Your vigilance and that of all other

interested members is appreciated and needed on a case-by-case basis. The governance of individual SCCA Regions and their
voting process varies by Region and is not controlled by SCCA. Your concern is noted and appreciated.
