Each year, the Sports Car Club of America® inducts several significant members into the SCCA Hall of Fame, with nominations coming from the membership. The June 15, 2023, submission deadline is not far away, so it’s time for SCCA members to consider who they would like to nominate for the honor of joining the SCCA Hall of Fame in 2024, with submissions being made using either an online form, e-mail, or physical mail.
The purpose of the SCCA Hall of Fame is to preserve, protect, and record the history and accomplishments of the Club for current and future members by recognizing those who have had a significant impact on the Club and the sport. This may be through service to the National organization, achievements in competition, advancement of the sport, or bringing recognition to the SCCA that inspires enthusiasts to seek out and become SCCA members.
Since 2005, a wide array of individuals have been inducted into the SCCA Hall of Fame.
How to Nominate
Submissions for the SCCA Hall of Fame should be approximately two pages in length and summarize the nominee’s background and reasons for consideration. The goal should be to help the SCCA Hall of Fame Nomination, Legacy, and Selection Committees understand why and how the nominee was impactful. Those submissions should paint a picture as to why their nominee should be considered for induction into the SCCA Hall of Fame.
Where possible, please include when the nominee joined the SCCA, the nominee’s Region affiliation, and the offices held or competition accomplishments of the nominee. It is also important to note how the nominee shaped SCCA as a National organization.
What else goes into a compelling SCCA Hall of Fame nomination submission? Here’s everything you need to know about making a great SCCA Hall of Fame submission.
Nominations must be submitted by the June 15, 2023, deadline by either e-mailing SCCAHoF@scca.com, mailing a letter to SCCA Hall of Fame, 6620 SE Dwight St., Topeka, KS 66619, or clicking the button below to complete the online submission form.
Anything Else?
The SCCA Hall of Fame's Legacy Committee is dedicated to the nomination of members whose influence on the Club primarily took place prior to 1961. This committee will be wrapping its duty in 2024, with the Legacy Committee's final nominations being for the SCCA Hall of Fame class of 2025. While members whose primary dedication to the Club was prior to 1961 will always be considered for the SCCA Hall of Fame, the Legacy Committee's conclusion at the end of 2024 makes this and next year's member submissions more vital than ever.
Those submitting nominations for any member should include their own e-mail address, phone number, or mailing address in case they need to be contacted for more information about a nominee. And while the deadline for the 2024 SCCA Hall of Fame is approaching, members are encouraged to submit nominations throughout the year, regardless of the deadline.
Also, multiple independent nominations for a candidate will gladly be accepted.
This is a chance for SCCA members to leave a permanent mark on our Club by being the one responsible for nominating a member for next year's SCCA Hall of Fame class.
One More Thing
The SCCA Hall of Fame Nomination, Legacy, and Selection Committees would like to thank the Club members who expressed interest in serving on one of the SCCA Hall of Fame committees. So many people volunteered their service that not everyone could be chosen to fill the limited vacancies created annually by the program’s staggered term limit structure. Please note that new vacancies will emerge next year, and those gracious volunteers will be considered once again.
