These licenses are to be checked at Registration (preferred) or by the Chief of the Specialty at each event.

4.5.3. Officials’ Membership Requirements

A. SCCA Runoffs: All officials shall be licensed members of SCCA.

B. Other Events: Only licensed members may be placed and/or work in hazardous areas. Non-members may work only in areas where the hazards do not exceed those to the general public. Exception: Employees of Services hired by the region or track who will be entering a restricted area such as ambulance, wrecker and fire crews are recommended to be, but do not have to be, SCCA members. For the purpose of determining a hazardous area, the definition "outside the protection of a positive barrier" will be used.

C. Temporary /Trial Memberships and Licenses are available. This membership/license is good for 90 days from the date of issue, is renewable, and allows for individuals to receive certain regular membership privileges. The issuing region may charge fees.
