2025 SCCA Runoffs Proposal
#36591 from Andrew Abbott · No action required · Minutes (2024-12 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The Club Racing Board appreciates your comments. A pause has been placed on changing the
qualifying criteria to the top 1/3 for 2025 to evaluate the other changes. You are correct in that even with the top 50% criteria,
reaching that hurdle is more difficult in some regions than others. An alternative points program is under consideration, which
will take into account the number of cars competing in a given race. Testing revenue is utilized to offset the costs of the event;
without this, entry fees would be higher. Those who test effectively subsidize the costs for those who do not. And, while many
members enjoy the Runoffs format "as is" and do not consider the length to be an issue, that is not the case for many of our
volunteer staff. That population is aging and has requested a shorter event.
