Marcy Crawford, Area 9 Board of Directors Candidate

My name is Marcy Crawford and I am running for Area 9 Director. A Lifetime member of SCCA, I’ve been a car nut and motorsports enthusiast as long as I can remember. As a young adult volunteering was an option and I jumped into it feet first. When it became possible, I went to driver school. I retired after 37 years of racing in multiple classes from showroom stock (Triumph GT6) to prototype (Amac DSR).

Throughout the years I have been involved primarily in road racing activities: driving, driver school instructing and administration, flagging and communications, timing and scoring, trophies (purchasing and distributing), sound control, tech, driver observer, car shows, pace car driver and Safety Steward. I was the Chief of Specialty in Timing and Scoring as well as Trophies and Assistant Chief Driver Observer. Currently I’m Divisional Administrator for Timing and Scoring and the Safety Steward in San Francisco Region. Additionally I’ve participated in autocross and rallies. 

In my non-racing time I am an accountant. In my various professional positions I learned the value of listening to people at all levels around me. This is why I think I can make a difference to SCCA as a whole. Our club is made up of so many people with different interests, all centered on cars. As National Directors, the goals should be to acknowledge and support events on both national and regional levels. In order for the club to maintain it’s relevancy and grow, it is important that members understand the financial position of the club. It is also important that members understand how decisions are made and carried out, which requires transparency. Major efforts should be made to cut costs, since the cost to the regions is ballooning across the country.

SCCA has been family to me for my entire adult life. I would be honored to help the club move forward.
