Become an AASA Motorsport Official
Motorsport officials play a crucial role in ensuring that events run safely, smoothly, and in accordance with regulations.
As a volunteer official, you will be assigned specific duties that help maintain safety protocols and event procedures. These roles include Safety, Medical, Communications, Clerk of Course, Flag Marshals, and more. For a detailed breakdown of each role, please refer to the AASA Event Operations Manual.
