2020 John McGill Award
John McGill Award
Noteworthy in 2020 is the John McGill Award, bestowed for significant contribution to the SCCA Club Racing Program. Winners are chosen annually by the Club Racing Board in conjunction with the head of Road Racing, and the list of previous recipients contains SCCA and motorsport luminaries. Keeping in mind that 2020 was such a “distinct” year, SCCA Director of Road Racing Deanna Flanagan noted the John McGill Award presentation would be equally unique this time around.
“The 2020 John McGill Award goes to each SCCA region that hosted an SCCA Road Racing event during a very tumultuous year,” Cobb said. “Conducting race weekends is complex and requires a lot of work and dedication. Hosting race weekends during a pandemic? That increases the complexity tenfold or more. It is only proper to recognize each Region, each volunteer, each competitor, and every single person who made 2020 SCCA Road Racing possible. The words ‘thank you’ can’t do justice for what SCCA members contributed to the Club this year. Our hope is the John McGill Award begins to convey our true appreciation.”
Blackhawk Valley, Chicago, Land O’ Lakes, and Milwaukee Regions were all recognized during the award presentation.
