Sunny Southern California is where the 2017 season opens with a special blended CAM Challenge/Match Tour event hosted by the San Diego Region. A modified Match Tour format will be utilized at this event, giving everyone a minimum of nine runs over the two days -- plus Challenge runs on Sunday to declare CAM Challenge winners
Next on the schedule is a stop in Mineral Wells hosted by the Texas Region, followed by a trip to Indiana for a weekend hosted by the Indy Region. The season then wraps up in Lincoln, Nebraska as a precursor to the 2017 Tire Rack SCCA Solo Nationals.
The three CAM Challenge Classes (CAM-C, CAM-T, CAM-S) were developed to give traditional and contemporary American muscle car sedans and coupes -- with front-engine, rear-wheel-drive configurations -- and American sports cars from the 1960s and 1970s a place to compete in a controlled environment. Each car must be street legal, licensed and insured, have intact interiors and use a 200 treadwear street-legal tire. CAM classes have been a great tool for Regions to utilize in getting new members involved with street-driven muscle cars. Whether a Region uses one CAM class or all three, muscle cars have indeed found a home with SCCA. Additional background can be found at the CAM Challenge webpage.
