I've been tasked with coordinating corner and pit workers at the inaugural SCCA Level 1 PDX at Summit Point this November. Having attended one BMWCCA driver school and one NASA HPDE, I'm doing some comparison so that my head is straight going into this new event. I've been and SCCA flagger and pit marshal for about three years, so I'm familiar with how club racing goes about this.
So, I have some questions about how NCC runs their schools. I'm interested mainly in the scene at Summit Point, but other perspectives are welcome. Also, keep in mind that I'm only concerned with schools, not club races.
SCCA is obviously not new to this stuff, but this event calls for a level of coordination that is somewhat less that a MARRS race or a national event. I just want to make sure nothing important is missed... thanks!
- Does NCC do hot pulls (i.e., extricating/removing vehicles under a standing yellow flag without stopping the session)?
- Are volunteer vehicles used for flat towing?
- Does NCC employ professional EV workers (i.e., the guys and gals who pilot "Big Blue", BSR wreckers, and ambulances)?
- What radio commnuication system does NCC use?
- Other than the flaggers, pit marshals and grid workers, who is monitoring the communication system? (E.g., central controller, stewards, chief instructor, etc.)
