Here’s news about upcoming events for the SCCA F & C team in our Great Lakes Division from DA Ed Arthur (MTM Member)

F&C Communication Survey
Hello Fellow Flagger,
We’re asking for your input on how Flagging & Communications teams communicate across regions and organizations. This short survey will help us identify what’s working, what isn’t, and how we can improve communication in the Great Lakes Division.
The survey takes about 2-5 minutes to complete. Results will be discussed at the upcoming convention.
Please complete the survey by February 16.
Thank you for helping us strengthen F&C communication.
Take care,
Ed Arthur
Great Lakes Division F&C Divisional Administrator

Good Afternoon To All!!!
First email of the new year just to start whetting your appetite for the upcoming 2026 racing/flagging season!! Corner workers of all experience levels will be needed for the following race weekends, so be sure to write the dates into your calendars!!
May 15, 16, 17
VSCDA Spring Brake and Driver's School
Gingerman Raceway
June 20, 21
SCCA Western Michigan Divisional
Grattan Raceway

Again, please consider placing these race weekends on your calendars, even if you are only available for a portion of the weekend. It is becoming more difficult to staff the events with the appropriate number of corner workers to ensure the races operate efficiently and most importantly, safely. Any days you can spend at the track will be much appreciatered.
To this end, I'm asking that each of you "passively" recruit new members to our group. Should you become aware of anyone who may be interested in trying his/her hand at corner working, please request that person send me an email or leave me a voice message; I'll be happy to reach out.
Finally, if you no longer wish to receive these emails from me, please let me know and I'll remove your address from the list.
As usual, thank you for your time. Hope to see you at Gingerman in May!!
Respectfully:
Nathan McCormick

Another Season to Remember
As the northern race season has closed, I'm hoping everyone had the opportunity to participate in the sport we all love this past year. While I personally was not able to attend as many races as I would have liked, I did enjoy being at the Detroit Grand Prix and a race at Waterford Hills.
It's now time to go through our personal equipment, discard what's not going to be needed, refresh anything that may need it, and replace that which has passed its useful life. My track bag is still in the trunk of my car, hoping for just one more race.
I hope each of you is enjoying this holiday season. Be safe, stay healthy and I look forward to seeing you at a nearby track and race in 2026.
The dates for the Detroit Grand Prix have been confirmed for the last weekend in May. As we receive confirmation of schedules for other series and tracks nearby, we'll post them on the MTM website, so stay tuned.
All the best,
Steve Balanecki
President, Michigan Turn Marshals
