As is the tradition with the San Francisco Region of the SCCA we recognize certain drivers with Special awards for their achievements during the season. This year we choose Erich Woolley as the Rookie of the Year. Erich came into driver’s school with absolutely no driving experience at all. On top of that he did not know how to drive a stick shift transmission. When the school was over the instructors were not quite sure he was going to be allowed to move on. But with Special instruction from Mike Smith, Erich was given his novice permit. As the season progressed Erich saw a steady climb in competitiveness.
