Contingency Archives

Registration for the 2026 SCCA® National Championship Runoffs® is on many people’s minds (in case you missed the news, driver and volunteer registration opens July 7), but while signing up for the Sept. 28-Oct. 4, 2026, winner-take-all event at Road America is key to success, so is registering for the event’s contingency programs. In fact, there’s no reason not to sign up for the contingency programs – the process only takes a few clicks, it’s completely FREE (!) to do, and you don’t even have to land on the podium during the National Championship event in order to score big.

Contingency programs are offered by manufacturers and industry partners as a way to reward racers for their participation and performance. In most cases, competitors simply need to register for the program and display the sponsor’s decals on their race car. Eligible finishers can then earn awards that may include cash payouts, certificates, discounts, or products. Depending on the program, competitors can earn valuable prizes without even standing on the podium.

The requirements are straightforward, but there are a couple of details worth noting. Registration for contingency programs tied to season-long Summit Racing Equipment SCCA Road Racing events, such as the Hoosier Racing Tire SCCA Super Tour or U.S. Majors Tour®, does not automatically carry over to the Runoffs. Drivers must register separately for Runoffs-specific contingency offerings. But trust us, the process is easy.

Before registering, participants should review the rules for each individual program to ensure all eligibility requirements are met. Then, of course, be sure to complete registration before the event begins.

For a complete list of available programs, visit the SCCA contingency webpage or follow the program links to learn more. Although on-site contingency registration will be available during the Runoffs, taking care of it in advance helps avoid last-minute scrambling and ensures everything is ready before you hit the track.

Barely three months ago, Öhlins became the Official Suspension System of SCCA®, bringing with it member discounts, involvement with SCCA’s Track Night in America® Driven by Tire Rack, and the promise of contingency programs that would span multiple competition types within the Club. That member discount comes to the tune of a 10% savings on Öhlins products when ordering from the company’s website. The Track Night deal? Keep an eye on Track Night’s website because that’s about to be revealed on June 30. So, what about that contingency program promise? Good news, because that’s here, too – and you don’t even need to have purchased anything from Öhlins in order to qualify.

The long and short of it is this: Öhlins is offering a rebate program that allows competitors to receive money back on product or services purchases. If you compete on the National level in SCCA Road Racing, SCCA Solo®, SCCA ProSolo®, or SCCA Time Attack, there’s a chance for you to earn these rebate certificates. Individual certificates can be combined up to a total amount of $1,000, and when you submit those along with the UPC/bar code from a qualifying Öhlins product or service purchase, the check is mailed.

Even better, you can start accruing Öhlins certificates before you’ve even made an Öhlins purchase.

These new Öhlins contingency programs run the gamut of SCCA’s motorsport offerings. Here are the highlights, with links to the specific forms:

Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Tour: $100 for 1^st place, $75 for 2^nd place, $50 for 3^rd place
Tire Rack SCCA ProSolo Series: $100 for 1^st place, $75 for 2^nd place, $50 for 3^rd place
Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championships: $500 for 1^st place, $300 for 2^nd place, $100 for 3^rd place
Tire Rack SCCA Time Attack Challenge: $100 for 1^st place, $75 for 2^nd place, $50 for 3^rd place
Tire Rack SCCA Time Attack National Championship: $500 for 1^st place, $300 for 2^nd place, $100 for 3^rd place
U.S. Majors Tour® & Hoosier Super Tour: $100 for 1^st place, $75 for 2^nd place, $50 for 3^rd place
National Championship Runoffs®: $500 for 1^st place, $300 for 2^nd place, $100 for 3^rd place

In all cases, there must be a minimum of three participants in each class for first place to be awarded, with a minimum of five in class to achieve certificates for the entire podium.

Admittedly, it’s already mid-season, so what about all those missed opportunities where you scored well and could have landed Öhlins rebate certificates? Fear not, as competitors who sign up for the Öhlins contingency program will be allowed to backdate their claims for the year. Claims within the last 60 days can be made online here. For claims older than 60 days, email the event, competition day, and position to [email protected].

The contingency forms linked above include instructions about how to register for the contingency programs, as well as how to redeem the rebate certificates. In addition, note that the competitor must purchase an Öhlins automotive product, service, custom kit, or spare parts/tools from Öhlins directly, an authorized dealer, or an authorized service center to obtain the actual rebate.

Note that all Öhlins contingency certificates for the 2026 season expire on Dec. 31, 2026.

Regardless of whether you’re running Öhlins suspension (right now) or not, the Öhlins contingency programs are something that make sense to register for. Signing up takes just a few clicks, and it only involves adding a few stickers to meet the requirements. So go for it!

Getting ready for the Sept. 7-11, 2026, Tire Rack SCCA® Solo® National Championships is easy: register for the event, get to Lincoln, NE, walk the courses, add a splash of gas, then hit the “go” button when you see that green light say the game is on (and all of that is made especially fun because this year’s Solo Nationals theme is video games). But before all that, you can level up the experience by registering for the Solo National Championships contingency programs.

Even if you registered for Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Tour contingency programs earlier this season, you’ll still need to register for the 2026 Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championships contingency programs. Think of these contingency programs like a DLC pack for the Solo Nats, adding additional content to the game. Unlike DLC packs, though, the Solo Nationals contingency programs are FREE to register for; in fact, if you perform well, they’ll pay YOU!

Before you can earn the cash, prizes, or certificates that are up for grabs with the contingency programs, you’ll first need to register for the programs and apply the required decals, but that’s about it. Just make sure you sign up before taking your first run at the Solo National Championships. Miss that deadline and you’ll be heading home with a sad “game over” screen showing winnings that could have been.

And remember, in most cases, winning your class isn’t necessary to collect a contingency program payout. Numerous contingency programs offer prizes well beyond the top spot, meaning many people will score loot for their Solo Nats inventory bags.

Scroll down to view the Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championships contingency offerings. Drivers are responsible for confirming eligibility for each contingency award. Full program details and requirements are available via the button below. Additional programs may be added as the event nears.

Chasing a win at an SCCA® National Solo® event isn’t exactly a “show up and chill” kind of experience. Whether you’re pushing for more speed at a Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Tour, battling the lights at a Tire Rack SCCA ProSolo® Series event, or taking a shot at the Tire Rack SCCA Shootout clock, these events are equal parts fun and hard work. Luckily, there’s SCCA’s 2026 Solo contingency programs – aka the smart way to cash in on all that effort.

SCCA’s Solo contingency programs span tires, brakes, vehicles, and more, with manufacturers kicking in cash, certificates, or product based on how you perform at events or across the season.

Want to hear something crazy? You don’t even need to win in order to score some of these goodies.

That’s the kind of crazy we love!

The barrier to the Solo contingency program? Laughably low. Each program has its own rules, but most boil down to registering online and slapping a few stickers on your car. That’s it. From there, you compete, have fun, see how the weekend shakes out, and maybe get paid for it.

Oh, and did we mention registration is also FREE? And so are the required stickers! So do it, because yes, free.

A summary of the 2026 Solo contingency programs is listed below. For the full breakdown of what’s available, head to SCCA’s Solo contingency webpage. Many programs require pre-registration with SCCA and/or the sponsoring company – you’ll find that information and all the fine print there, too.

As always, it’s on you to read the rules and make sure you’re eligible – but trust us, it’s worth the few minutes of homework.

Competing in the Tire Rack SCCA® Time Attack Challenge is its own reward. Still, wouldn’t it be nice if there was a way to get other rewards at the same time. You know, like in the form of cash or product certificates? Turns out, there is, and reaping the benefits is just a few clicks away.

The 2026 Time Attack Challenge season currently has three contingency programs available that are not only easy to register for, but they’re also completely FREE (!) to sign up for, right down to the required stickers.

First up is the Official Brake Products of the SCCA, Hawk Performance. Paying as deep as fifth in the field, recipients of this program will receive $150 in product certificates for a win, then $25 less for second, and so on through fifth place.

Falken Tire’s program offers cash payouts, with first place earning $200, second place cashing in on $100, and third place taking $100 to the bank.

Similar to Falken, the Nissan Motorsports program involves cold, hard cash. Here, a winner will receive $550, second will earn $300, and third will lay claim to $150.

Keep an eye out for additional contingency partners in the coming months – there’s a particularly cool one in the works that should be ready by the Eagles Canyon Time Attack Challenge.

In all cases, registration prior to the event is required, as are decals. Full payout often requires a minimum number of starters, and in some cases, there are rules surrounding which other stickers may or may not be present on the car.

For complete details, check the link below – then register! Because much in the same way that we can’t understand anyone who doesn’t want to compete in a Tire Rack SCCA Time Attack Challenge weekend, we’re equally as flummoxed by anyone who chooses not to sign up for these FREE contingency programs.

Time Attack Contingency Programs

If you’re road racing with SCCA® and not registering for contingency programs, you’re basically leaving horsepower on the table.

Each year, competitors in the Summit Racing Equipment SCCA Road Racing program – from the Hoosier Racing Tire SCCA Super Tour and U.S. Majors Tour® to Regional and Divisional races – earn thousands through SCCA contingency programs. Better yet, these programs are managed by the Club, so signing up is usually as simple as a few clicks on SCCA.com and adhering the required decals to your car. Sweetening the deal, registration for these contingency programs is FREE, and in many cases you don’t even need to stand on the top step of the podium to reap the benefits.

Bottom line: if you’re not registered, you’re missing easy money.

Curious what’s available? There’s a handy overview below, along with a link that lays out all of the specifics, but here are the key points for most of the programs:

To qualify, you need to meet all of the requirements of the program, which includes attaching the required decals and/or patches. From there, know that program payouts vary by manufacturer – some celebrate for wins, others reward the top three, five, or more. Prizes might be cash, certificates, or product, and sometimes depend on class participation. There are no surprises here, as every program clearly spells out its rules and rewards.

Here’s a bit of essential fine print before the green flag is thrown: Contingency opportunities require pre-registration with SCCA and/or the sponsor, and it’s your responsibility to stay compliant with the requirements. Additional programs may also be added during the season, so check back often. Also, contingency programs for the National Championship Runoffs® Presented by Sunoco (taking place Sept. 28-Oct. 4, 2026, at Road America) will require their own contingency registration, which will happen later this year (don’t worry, we’ll let you know when that’s available).

Sign up, stick the decals on straight (although, admittedly, no one’s measuring), and don’t let free money draft past you down the straight.

Drivers and volunteers are anxiously awaiting registration opening for the Sept. 29-Oct. 5, 2025, SCCA® National Championship Runoffs® Presented by Sunoco at Road America. That registration begins on July 9, and for that you’ll want to keep an eye on the SCCA Runoffs homepage, or you can use these direct links for Runoffs driver (and prep shop employee) registration and Runoffs volunteer registration.

For the drivers, however, there’s one additional step they’ll want to complete sooner rather than later, and that’s registering for every single contingency program that applies to them.

Best of all, Runoffs contingency registration is FREE and painless, with the process taking just a few clicks on scca.com.

What is a Runoffs Contingency Program?

SCCA’s competition contingency programs are opportunities for manufacturers and other companies to thank the racers — generally, all they ask is that you register ahead of time (which in most cases is super easy to do online) and you run their stickers on your race car. From there, if you perform well, you’ll be rewarded with cash, certificates, or products, depending on the contingency program. And, as stated not too long ago, it’s completely FREE to register for these SCCA contingency programs.

Plus, in most cases for the Runoffs contingency programs, you don’t even need to win the race or finish on the podium to win big with these contingency programs.

That’s all there is to it.

OK, there is some small print for these Runoffs contingency programs — but it’s not that bad: If you registered for contingency programs earlier this year for Summit Racing Equipment SCCA Road Racing programs like the Hoosier Racing Tire SCCA Super Tour or U.S. Majors Tour®, you’ll need to register for the Runoffs contingency programs separately. There’s also…wait, that’s just about all the fine print, other than to say you should read through each contingency offering thoroughly to make sure you’re fulfilling all of the contingency program requirements. Also, register before the Runoffs begins.

Read on for Runoffs contingency program details, click the links to find out more (or head to the SCCA contingency webpage), and then register by clicking this link. And keep in mind, while you can sign up for contingency programs on-site at the Runoffs, registering in advance ensures you’ll have everything you need without being in a hurry.

Prep for the Sept. 1-5, 2025, Tire Rack SCCA® Solo® National Championships is simple! Register for the event (open registration begins June 17!), get to Lincoln, NE, in time for your run group, walk the courses, add a splash of gas to your car, then it’s time to rock-n-roll on course!

Oh, but you missed a step: You need to register for SCCA’s Solo National Championships contingency programs!

If you already signed up for Solo National Tour or ProSolo® contingency programs this season, you’ll need to also register for the contingency programs specific to the rock-n-roll themed 2025 Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championships, as this event is a totally different beast of burden. Luckly, contingency registration involves just a click, a click, then boom, done!

All SCCA Solo Nationals contingency programs are FREE(!) to sign up for, and through something as simple as adding stickers to your car, you then qualify for cash, prizes, or certificates for some of the best products on the market. What kind of products? Try tires, brakes, and springs, for example.

Did we mention that these contingency programs are FREE(!!) to register for? Yes we did — but it’s worth repeating because there’s literally no downside to signing up for as many of these contingency programs as possible.

The caveat is you need to register for the contingency programs before turning a wheel at this year’s Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championships. If you forget — well, you’ll be playing a sad song on your way back home knowing that nothing else mattered.

But, you say, you’re not going to win at the Solo Nats, so why bother signing up for these FREE(!!!) contingency programs? Scroll down and you’ll soon discover that winning is not a prerequisite. In fact, with at least one contingency program, you can finish deep into the field and still reap rewards.

Note that it’s the responsibility of each driver to make sure they are eligible to receive any contingency awards in which they are interested. Requirements for each program can be found via the button below — and check back often for added programs.

A lot goes into competing for a win at one of SCCA’s National Solo® events. From the Tire Rack SCCA® Solo National Tour to the Tire Rack SCCA ProSolo® Championship Series and Tire Rack SCCA Shootout, if you’re aiming for the top, you’re facing a lot of hard work. So why not make it easier where you can by signing up for SCCA’s 2025 contingency programs?

SCCA’s Solo contingency programs span vehicle, brake, and tire manufacturers, with companies offering cash, certificates, or product based on your performance during each event or during the overall season. What makes this even better is that many of these contingency programs don’t even require that you win in order to reap the benefits.

Each contingency program comes with its own registration requirements, but by and large, that simply includes registering and applying a sticker to your competition vehicle. After that, you let the good times roll at the events, see where the chips fall, and hopefully cash in.

And did we mention? Registration is FREE!

A full rundown of contingencies can be viewed on SCCA’s Solo contingency webpage. Many opportunities require pre-registration with SCCA and/or the sponsoring company. Details and instructions to register for each of these programs are also available at the SCCA Solo contingency webpage. And finally, it is the responsibility of each driver to make sure they are eligible to receive any contingency awards by thoroughly checking the requirements for each program.

Did you know that each year, members of the Sports Car Club of America™ competing in the Summit Racing Equipment SCCA® Road Racing series (be it the Hoosier Racing Tire Super Tour, U.S. Majors Tour®, or Regional and Divisional races) earn thousands through the Club’s contingency programs? Did you also know that these contingency programs are organized through the Club, meaning that registering for them is usually as easy as clicking a button on SCCA.com and then applying stickers to your race car? Furthermore, they’re completely free to register for and, in most cases, you don’t even need to win in order to score a payout. In other words, if you’re not registered for SCCA’s Road Racing contingency programs, you’re missing out.

Intrigued? You should be!

Your next question probably is: What contingency programs are available? Here’s a link that’ll answer that exact question (they’re also listed below). However, there are some key items we’ll tell you up front.

For one (and with an exception we’ll get to in a moment), to qualify for contingency payouts, you need to register prior to the event, and you’re responsible for ensuring all required decals and/or patches are appropriately applied. Next, know that contingency programs vary from manufacturer to manufacturer — in other words, some offer payouts for a win, others reward up to the top three, while some are top five or more. Some vary the winnings based on how many entries a class has, some pay cash, and others offer certificates or products. Also know that none of these facts are hidden in fine print — each contingency form clearly states the requirements and potential rewards.

Back to the exception: We’re fully aware that the Hoosier Super Tour and U.S. Majors Tour are underway and there’s no way you could have registered for these contingency rewards before competing in some of the early-season events. For those, register as soon as possible and submit your contingency claim forms — we’ll take care of the rest.

There’s one more exception in all of this, and that is when it comes to the National Championship Runoffs® presented by Sunoco that takes place later this year, you’ll need to register for those contingency awards separately. We’ll be back in touch regarding those.

Finally, here are some details we’re obligated to include with each contingency announcement: Contingency opportunities require pre-registration with SCCA and/or the sponsoring company. Details and instructions to register for each of these programs are available on the same page, and it’s your responsibility to make sure you’re in compliance with each program for which you enroll.

Also, additional programs may be added during the season, so check back throughout the year for updates.

More than 20 companies are begging for you to take their money at this year’s SCCA® National Championship Runoffs®. Sounds too good to be true, but it’s no lie: For as little effort as clicking some links and applying a few stickers, you’ll be set to collect potentially thousands of dollars in cash and prizes by doing what you were planning to do anyway at this year’s title SCCA Road Racing event at Road America in Plymouth, WI. Best of all, the costs to you for taking part in these programs is absolutely nothing. (In other words, it’s free!)

Taking place Oct. 1-6, the 2024 SCCA Runoffs is the pinnacle of the Summit Racing Equipment SCCA Road Racing program, with drivers competing all year in the Hoosier Racing Tire SCCA Super Tour, U.S. Majors Tour, Regional, and Divisional races to earn a spot at the National Championship event. The season-long commitment level for drivers and crew to simply get to the Runoffs is immense, so these companies want to say thank you in the best way possible: With healthy contingency programs.

While winning your class at the Runoffs often earns the best payouts, the vast majority of these contingency programs celebrate those further back than the top step. If you’re a podium contender, you’ll certainly want to register for as many of these Runoffs contingency programs as possible — but in many cases, you’ll want to sign up regardless.

Check out the list below and you’ll see what we mean, but let’s pull a few out to wet your whistle. Mazda offers cash rewards for as far back as fifth in select classes and Summit Racing Equipment has a program that pays through sixth, while Hawk, Carbotech, and G-Loc celebrate those finishing in the top 10. Tire Rack offers a payout for the polesitter as well as fifth-place finishers, Pegasus offers winnings to those finishing fourth to sixth, and Sunoco’s Hard Charger award goes to the driver who simply picks up more spots during the race than anyone else, meaning everyone in the field has a shot at this prize.

All of this is to say that even if you don’t anticipate grabbing one of those podium spots, registering for these free Runoffs contingency programs could still pay off big time.

As a reminder, Runoffs contingency programs differ from those during the regular U.S. Majors Tour and Hoosier Super Tour season, meaning you need to sign up for the Runoffs programs even if you’ve registered for similar contingency programs earlier in the year.

Read on for the details, click the links to find out more (or head to the SCCA contingency webpage), and then register by clicking this link. And keep in mind, while you can sign up for contingency programs on site at the Runoffs, registering in advance ensures you’ll have everything you need.
