In celebrating milestone SCCA® member anniversaries each month, we are often surprised by some of the names that pop up. Truth is, we know these people are members of the Club, be they 25-, 30-, 35-, 40-, 45-, 50-, 55-, 60-, 65-, or even 70-year members, but to see their names in the listing we present each month to celebrate these anniversaries surprises us nonetheless.
For the month of October, two 30-year member names drew our attention. First, there’s Carol Bayer-Broring, a Washington DC Region member who we remember winning the SCCA Worker of the Year Award for Pit & Grid in 2007 like it was yesterday. There’s also Hans Saurino, the Oklahoma Region member who won the 2016 Kimberly Cup Most Improved Driver award for overcoming an unfortunate 2015 National Championship Runoffs® performance to finish second in Formula F during the 2016 title event.
Hitting the 45-year mark is Washington DC Region member Stephen Oseth, who won Formula Vee® not once, not twice, but three times (2003 and ’06-’07).
And then there’s someone else in the 45-year anniversary section you may recognize the name of: Mario Andretti. A Philadelphia Region member who joined the Sports Car Club of America in October 1979, Andretti has done it all, including racing stints in Can-Am, USAC, NASCAR, and even Formula 1.
Standing upon the top of the podium this month with a notable milestone year, however, is Arthur N. Johnson, hailing from New England Region. Johnson joined the Club in October 1954 – at that point in time, Mario Andretti was just 14 years of age and wouldn’t move to the United States for another year.
The anniversary listing below notes each member’s name, Region of record, Division, and join/rejoin date. It’s important to point out that join dates for the 1970s and earlier will note the first of the month rather than the actual day of membership.
