(Each month, Gonzalo “Gonzo” San Miguel, the RallyCross® Board (RXB) Chair, presents you with the latest RallyCross news, as seen by the RXB.)

This being the first RallyCross® Board column on SCCA.com, perhaps the best place to begin is with who not only I am as the chairman of the RallyCross Board, but who makes up the rest of the RXB. Similar to the success of the RallyCross program ultimately coming down to those who participate and advocate for the sport, the success of the RXB comes from a group of individuals who are passionate about RallyCross.

The seven-member RXB is made up of six members at large and one SCCA staff member (the staff member being Rick Myers, SCCA’s Director of Rally/Solo). The volunteer members of the RXB are quite diverse in its experience level, with many of the board members having experience not only elsewhere in the Sports Car Club of America®, but also in other organizations. The knowledge brought by this team – with input and encouragement from the membership – helps direct the program, allowing us to continue to have fun in the dirt for years to come.

In later RXB columns on SCCA.com, we’ll dive into rules, events, championships, and more. But for now, here’s who the RXB is.
