SCCA Director Candidate
Robin Langlotz is running for the SCCA Board of Directors from District 3. He has been a racer for a long, long time and would be just the guy to shake things up in Topeka. Following is the text of a letter he sent out detailing his qualifications.
Dear SCCA Area 3 Member,
Within the next couple of weeks, you will be receiving a ballot from SCCA National Office to vote for the position of Area 3 Director. As a nominee for this distinguished position, I am seeking your support. I would like to take a few minutes of your time to introduce myself and provide a brief history of my accomplishments with the SCCA. These are accomplishments that I feel qualify me to serve as your Director.
I joined the SCCA and began racing a Formula Vee in 1972. I competed in FV for a couple of years before moving into a C Sports Racer that I designed and built from the ground up. I later moved from the CSR to a sedan, successfully racing in BS/GT2/GT3 for several years. With the introduction of Improved Touring in the early 1980’s, I moved into ITA/ITB, where I still compete with cars that I build and maintain myself.
Over the course of my racing career, I earned several invitations in CSR and GT3 to the national run-offs, finishing as high as 10th place in CSR. In addition to my participation in the run-offs and national events, I have to my credit several regional class championships, SARRC championships and was awarded the National Ford Cup in GT3 in 1985. I even tried my hand at Solo, back “in the day”.
In addition to my participation as a driver, I have volunteered my time and skills to the advancement of the racing and solo programs in Central Florida Region. I served as Regional Executive of CFR from 1984 through 1990, and again from 1992 through 1995. In 2001, the CFR Board of Governors asked me to head up the racing program in CFR as Race Board Chair and I hold that position to this day, heading up the largest and most successful racing program in the SEDIV.
In addition to my participation in CFR, I have served the SEDIV on various committees and am one of the founding fathers’ of both the SARRC and ECR series. I was one of the principal participants involved in the incorporation of the SEDIV and the consolidation of SEDIV programs and finances. For many years, I have attended the Area III Annual Meeting, Regional Executives’ Round Table and the National Convention. I am extremely familiar with the operations and structure of the club at the regional, divisional and national levels.
I was honored by the Central Florida Region with the Region’s Distinguished Service Award in 1987, and inducted into the CFR Hall of Fame in 2003. I was awarded the SEDIV Director’s Award in 2006 and the SEDIV Race Admin Worker of the Year in 2007.
I currently hold a National Competition license, a National Race Administration license and a Divisional Registrar’s license. I have the experience to represent Area 3 on the SCCA Board of Directors and vow to be a loud voice for the Grass Roots Racer. I’d like to see the CLUB racing and solo programs return to their roots, serving all members equally. I’m not afraid to take on the tough tasks and never back down from a fight if the results are best for all membership in Area 3.
I appreciate your support and look forward to serving you as your Director.
Sincerely,
Robin Langlotz
