About this event
Chicago Region SCCA
Volunteer Registration
Sanction # 23-
July 1 - 2, 2023
We invite volunteers planning to work the event to pre-register here. This will allow the Region to plan staffing levels, lunch and dinner counts, and to provide the best experience for all our volunteers.
If you know of others planning to work the event, but do not typically use MotorsportReg to pre-register, PLEASE pass along the information below. Those individuals who are unable or unwilling to use MSR may contact the online registrar at regkatscca@gmail.com to have their pre-registration entered for them or please help them by assisting them. There will be no walk-in and work allowed.

Meals: Box lunches will be provided Saturday and Sunday at the event site.
Saturday dinner - there will be a worker dinner Saturday evening at RT 66 Dragway.
WORKER VERIFICATION:
As part of the controls for 2023 we will again be implementing a strict oversight policy for this event. Specialty chiefs will be provided with a list of workers who register for their specialty, and they will be required to verify if they meet the strict standards for NASCAR. They also will be verifying when and where the volunteer worked for this event daily. Anyone who checks in as a worker and is not verified to have worked, will be addressed. It is the worker's responsibility to check in with their specialty chief and make sure their work was validated.

Event requirements
ALL F&C WORKERS MUST ANSWER THE TWO QUESTIONS AT THE TOP OF THE WORKER REGISTRATION!
Please tell them how many events and give some locations please - you don't have to know exact dates, the year would be sufficient. The system will require you to answer these questions to finish your registration.
Thank you for understanding.
