Father Time with Bill Skibbe | Inside the SCCA Presented by Raceschool.com
On episode 205 of Inside the SCCA presented by RaceSchool.com, we connect Bill Skibbe. Bill is one of the cornerstones of the Hoosier Racing Tire SCCA Super Tour staff. He helps keep the timing and scoring team running like a fine Swiss watch. A 44-year member hailing from the Houston Region, Bill Skibbe was presented with the John McGill Award. This award is presented annually in recognition for significant contributions to the SCCA Road Racing program. The winner is chosen by the Club Racing Board (CRB) and the head of the SCCA Road Racing department. An expert in the field of Timing & Scoring, Skibbe has been the Timing & Scoring lead for CART/Champ Car, USAC, IMSA, IndyCar, Red Bull, SCCA Pro Racing series including World Challenge and Trans Am, as well as various motocross and cycling series. He’s been SCCA’s Runoffs Timing & Scoring chief since 2013 and the Club’s Hoosier Super Tour Timing lead along with Carol Reber. While working for MyLaps, Skibbe provided SCCA Regions a bridge between the timing software and the Club’s Timing & Scoring functions and was integral in the program-wide implementation of the transponder. He was instrumental in building the SCCA Live Timing system, developing the ability to provide a portable, multi-segment timing data system so it could be used at each of the Hoosier Super Tour events. Skibbe has also worked to train T&S workers across the country and share best practices to build consistency. Bill was also the 2017 T&S Worker of the Year.
