Worker of the Year awards were presented on Thursday night during the all-participant dinner at Indianapolis Motor Speedway as part of the SCCA Runoffs. Each of the nine honorees, coming from each aspect of road racing workers, receive a commemorative plaque, patch and jacket, as well as an SCCA Gear merchandise gift certificate.

Pit & Grid
Bonnie Wannarka, Lone Star Region (and Washington DC Region)

Wannarka joined the SCCA in 1987 as a member of the San Francisco Region. Nearly 20 years later, she began spending time on the East Coast and was recruited to work the grid at Summit Point with Washington DC Region. She continues to hold many specialty licenses, but grid is her home and Wannarka has worked at 22 different tracks across the country. Always willing to help when a Region needs it, she has been called upon several times to step in as Chief when the region she was visiting needed someone. She is a friend to all, sincerely sweet and helpful. You will always see her at the Runoffs and she even served as Victory Circle chief for several years. She now calls Texas home and has added Lone Star Region to her SCCA story. You never know where she’ll show up but you know she’ll have a smile on her face when she does!

Timing & Scoring
Carla Heath, Washington DC Region.

The godmother of Timing and Scoring, Heath has scored cars in SCCA for nearly 40 years. She has worked as a local chief, divisional administrator, Runoffs chief, and for numerous pro racing championships. Timing chiefs across the country call anytime to answer questions, learn, and get advice. In 2021, she stepped in as Chief of Timing at the Pitt Race Hoosier Super Tour, and has set standards in the specialty. She’s created instructions and checklists that are used by many SCCA teams across the country. Heath strives for excellence and pushes those around her to do the same.
