Edited by Todd Lamb, to make things a little clearer in light of the recent SMAC call:
The following was discussed as a basic outline of the way the program would work.
------------------------------------
$25/entry compliance fee for Majors events only in 2016.
There is concern that compliance fee funds from previous years were not utilized for tech, or did not have the appearance of being utilized properly. Therefore, as part of reinstating the compliance fee, SMAC requests involvement in planning the 2016 SM Majors tech program in conjunction with CCC/SCCA.
Such planning should include the following:
-tech in each division at Majors, at high attendance events TBD
-tech at a select few highly attended regional events (TBD: ARRC, SARRC/MARRS combined events, Mid Ohio, etc)
-more random tech throughout the top 20 (points positions), plus winner
-more variety of items checked
-training for tech officials on a divisional level
-John Bauer is going to take inventory on tools previously purchased
-less redundancy, not same tech for same driver for same thing over and over
-transparency on the program and budget
-non invasive tech can be increased for top 20
-sealing program not recommended, unless paid for by driver
-reimbursing drivers for teardowns not recommended
