From leadership adventures to #funwithcars to members who’ve been around the block a time or two, a recent article covering SCCA®’s Central Pennsylvania Region’s autocross program has it all.
Reporting on the local news, entertainment, and more for State College, PA, StateCollege.com brings its readers news from the Centre County region of Pennsylvania. Which, as luck would have it, is exactly where SCCA’s Central Pennsylvania Region hosts its autocrosses.
“Autocross, or Solo in SCCA vernacular, involves drivers competing in time-trial events on cone-lined courses,” the article written by Elton Hayes, says. “For the Central PA Region, those events are held at the Centre County Public Safety Training Center in Pleasant Gap and Philipsburg’s Mid-State Regional Airport on six weekends throughout the year.”
Hayes spoke to numerous attendees of one particular autocross weekend, including Central Pennsylvania Region’s RE Jessica Black, the Assistant RE Chris Paveglio, the Region’s treasurer Saeed Parvin, course designer Ryan Lower, and Chris Faris, “one of the longest-tenured members of the Central PA Region chapter,” the article says. “The 74-year-old has been an SCCA member since the late 1960s….”
But wait, there’s more, because Hayes also decided to dive into the Region’s RoadRally program.
“The annual Witches Rallye is a costumes-encouraged road rally, family-friendly scavenger hunt, party, and charity fundraiser for the Jana Marie Foundation,” Hayes writes. “The Central PA Region of the Sports Car Club of America is holding this year’s rally on Saturday, Nov. 1, starting at the Centre County Public Safety Training Center in Pleasant Gap and ending with a free dinner at a location disclosed only after participants follow the clues to complete a timed route.”
