SCCA University's safety symposium
The SCCA Foundation is expected to fund the production of a CD-ROM and/or video of the landmark 2004 SCCA University Convention Safety Symposium which was held at the weekend during the Sports Car Club of America's AGM event in Kansas City. The symposium included presentations by Hubert Gramling (FIA Foundation), Dr Robert Hubbard (Hubbard-Downing/HANS), Arnie Kuhns (SFI Foundation), Dr John Melvin (Tandelta) and Carl Schroth (Schroth Safety Products)
SCCA president Steve Johnson commented: "What our members were treated to was both unprecedented and monumental in the motorsport industry. From a content and information standpoint, it was one of the biggest days in SCCA history, and an example of our commitment to improve our safety practices and professionalism throughout the entire organisation. I challenge anyone to find a better panel of expert presenters than what we had in Kansas City."
The panel presented information and accompanying material dealing with the mechanics of racing accidents, focusing on how individual pieces of safety equipment and entire safety systems work to help prevent injuries.
The event was professionally recorded and the organiser is anxious to make the proceeding more widely available to competitors and other interested parties.
