Bill Dalton
To: The SCCA Community
FROM: JoAnne Jensen, Central Division Executive Steward
DATE: 10/10/11
RE: Passing of a friend
It is with deep sadness that we advise our SCCA family of the untimely passing of Milwaukee Region member and long time Tech volunteer Bill Dalton, on Saturday, 10/8/11, at Rockford Memorial Hospital. He had been transported from Blackhawk Farms Raceway during Chicago Region’s Fall Sprints after he collapsed in Tech and was treated onsite for an apparent heart attack. He was subsequently helicoptered to the hospital where he stabilized, but died in surgery.
Many thanks to everyone who responded magnificently at the track to this extremely difficult and personally challenging situation. It is a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of each moment and each person.
Bill’s children are John Dalton and Andrea Kilkenny, and we offer them our sincere condolences.
When arrangements are known, they will be shared.
Club Racing Racing Memo
Dear SCCA Drivers:
Beginning January 1, 2012, Head and Neck restraints will become mandatory in SCCA Club Racing Regional, National and Driver School events. In December 2009, the Board of Directors approved the motion to require a device meeting SFI 38.1 or FIA 8858 specifications, and the announcement appeared in the January 2010 Fastrack® News.
In an effort to have everyone prepared for the new equipment requirement, we have put together the following information. This is by no means comprehensive, and it is not an endorsement of one product over another. Just as when buying a helmet or any other piece of safety gear, each driver is encouraged and expected to do their own research and select the product that they feel best suits their needs.
