Safety Concerns at Super Tour Events
#34607 from Kaitlin Spak · No action required · Minutes (2023-11 Fastrack)
Thank you for sharing your concerns. Over the past two seasons, there has been greater emphasis on logging driver behavior,
with Race Director/Chief Steward actions now carrying an automatic point on a driver’s license. This helps directly track on track
behavior, and can illustrate patterns of behavior, should a driver have multiple infractions. Additionally, the Green-to-Checker
initiative tracks incidents by corner, class, run group and driver to look for patterns and opportunities to both make operational
changes as well as coaching/mentoring opportunities for specific drivers. Finally, the Club’s trial of Flagtronics at the 2023
Runoffs was a good first step toward helping communicate on-track situations more effectively to drivers in their cars. It is
incumbent on everyone involved in the events to take steps to improve the on-track experience. These are some of the steps
being taken as a National organization and with event officials. We also ask the drivers to work within their communities to help

each other, encourage driving with respect and better situational awareness while on track. We recognize that any of these
items have both short term and long term benefits. We also recognize that these are not simply Super Tour issues, but that they
are amplified at these events because of their high-profile nature.
