PCA medical committee revoked my race license
#571
Don't worry.
No organization requires medical forms for DE, and there are lots of organizations doing DE events at every track, so PCA requiring medical forms would just drive the DE business elsewhere, thus killing the PCA DE program. DE is a much bigger program than club racing, and PCA isn't going to do something which kills their DE program.

DE medical forms
Actually, for 2024, when registering on motorsports reg for DEs, with Potomac, there are a series of questions on your medical status like do you have any condition that might make you pass out, and any other misc conditions
will get the actual wording when im on my desktop.

I understand the concern, but there a huge number of people in PCA DE leadership roles across the country who would strongly oppose doing something which would kill PCA DE. Not gonna happen.

I think this is appropriate, and the same could be used for club racing.

That’s kinda the premise of this whole thread.
Luigi seems to be a target here, yet the rest of us lie when registering for an event.
The more I read of this thread, the more I see and agree with Todd and what he’s doing.
I honestly thought he was nuts when he started this thread. That train of thought has changed significantly since…

I agree that if they had never asked for it, the liability would not be there. The rule (or "one-off" decision, I'm not really sure which it is from the discussion) in this case was likely a bad decision on PCA's part, but the damage is done. The fact is that they did ask for it, so the horse is out of the barn, and the potential for liability is there in this specific case. The fact that nobody can prove that somebody is taking their meds, or using their CPAP isn't really relevant, an organization can set the standards of what they consider to be reasonable evidence of taking meds or using CPAP, and they've covered their legal liability (if the individual sends them fake made-up data, the liability is on that individual, not the organization).
It's still not clear to me what specifically they are asking for. If it's a month of data, I don't see that as onerous and I'd jump through that hoop and move on. If it's continual data, that is an ongoing hassle, but I'd still submit the past data and then lobby for a change of policy.

I was at Lime Rock today as was Luigi. I did not see any in car footage or even follow when he was on track, but I checked his cars at the end of the day. They had no marks on them and no one was reported to have fallen asleep while driving.
