(Looking for an inside line on the Club? “Inside the SCCA” is a podcast that features interviews with the Club’s leading personalities, but it’s not owned by SCCA®. Instead, it’s an independent media outlet managed by Rule 15 Productions and hosted by longtime SCCA member and journalist Brian Bielanski. He uses the Club’s name with permission.)
On this week’s Inside the SCCA podcast special, host Brian Bielanski sits down with Tiffany Bingheim, the Flag Chief for the legendary SCCA® National Championship Runoffs® Presented by Sunoco at Road America. Tiffany pulls back the curtain on the massive volunteer effort required to run an event that fields hundreds of competitors over a full week of intense, National Championship road racing.
From the seemed chaos of scheduling and managing a team of 100 flaggers to the vital importance of volunteer retention (and good trackside lunches!), Tiffany shares her journey. Hear how she went from discovering Road America at age 21 to becoming a Division Administrator and leading the Flagging & Communications team for the Runoffs.

When you go racing in the Hoosier Racing Tire SCCA® Super Tour or U.S. Majors Tour®, do you enjoy keeping the same racing number on the side of your car? Sure, we all do! Problem is, there are only so many car numbers to go around, meaning there are plenty of drivers eyeing the same number. If only there was a way to lock in your car number in those series during the 2026 Summit Racing Equipment SCCA Road Racing season.
Turns out, there is!
Those competing in any of the U.S. Majors Tour’s six Conferences (Southeast, Southern, Western, Northeast, Mid-States, and Northern) can choose to secure a single or two-digit car number for their Conference of choice. Racers who will be competing in multiple Conferences can reserve a three-digit car number beginning with the number “1,” reserving their car number in all six Conferences. The solitary numeral “1” can only be used by the current SCCA National Champion in each class.
What to Know
Reserving a car number for one or more Conferences in the U.S. Majors Tour (which includes the Hoosier SCCA Super Tour) is not mandatory, but it does allow racers to rest easy knowing their car number should stay the same throughout the season.
Reserving a car number in one, two, or all U.S. Majors Tour Conferences is not a guarantee that you will be able to use your car number at each event during the season. Number reservations must be made at least 14 days prior to event registration. Also, dual-Conference events with duplicate number requests will give the reserved number to the driver who registered for the event first.
Drivers with a 2025 U.S. Majors Tour series registration will have until Nov. 19 at 9 a.m. Central Time to reserve that same Conference number for 2026. At that time, unreserved numbers will be released into the general pool.
Number registration for a single U.S. Majors Tour Conference is $50, with a second Conference adding another $50 — car numbers that are available include 0 through 99, with “1” only available to defending National Champions. Reserving your car number in all six Conferences costs $150 and requires that the number be three digits, beginning with a “1” (so 100 through 199).
