I have a question for that person regarding my status as a novice for Duyea.

Thanks,
Matt

Matt Green will probably be doing the novice orientation, but I can probably answer your question.

I ran Duryea last year and I have done 3 events with no incidents. I was wandering if I had to register as a novice for Duryea and attend the novice meeting.

thanks,
Mat

Short answer, No.

There are actually two different type of novices. The SCCA Novice License and a novice at a hill. You can get your regular license after three (I think) successful events and the being signed off by the Divisional Steward.

A novice on any hill is anyone who has never run that particular hill before (or in the last 5 years) regardless of the license that they have. You can be running the series for years and still be a novice at an event if you have never run that event before.

Matt Rowe signed off for my license.

This is my 3rd year hillclimbing and I was a "novice" at Rose Valley last weekend since I had never seen that hill before.

Matt Rowe is the current divisional steward.

Thanks!
And one other quick question.........According to the SCCA site, my Novice TT Dr(?) expires on 8/31/06, as does my membership. So it is my understanding that I can run Duryea even if I don't get all my License paperwork approved by then. Does this sound correct? Because every year it seems like when I get to the table Friday night before Duryea, I'm writing out checks for licensing and membership.

I'm just trying to make it smoother this year.

You can race on your license up to the expiration date.

Matt-

As Nelson said, you do not need to carry Novice status for Duryea. In fact, I'm trying to keep the Novice groups as small as possible since we always have quite a few of them.

Thanks for asking, rather than just assuming.
