October has long been the month that concludes National Championship season in the Sports Car Club of America™. It’s traditionally a time to sit back and contemplate the year that was, since members are undoubtedly too tired from participating in these huge events to do anything other than recover. It’s also a month for those who watched from the sidelines to wonder how they can get involved – but for most, they hold off joining the SCCA® for a few more months.

Below is a list of SCCA members celebrating a milestone member anniversary (with us starting our listing at 25 years and then working our way up in five-year increments). These folks certainly buck the system when it comes to when they joined the Club.

Most see the fun members had at these end-of-year keystone events, then around the New Year, they set their mind to having #funwithcars and join the Club a month or two later. The 71 members listed below, meanwhile, march to their own drum. These members jumped into action before the rest, joining the Club as the season was winding down, prepping for their first SCCA event as early as possible.

More power to them!

The anniversary listing below notes each member’s name, Region of record, Division, and join/rejoin date. It’s important to point out that join dates for 1981 and earlier may list the first of the month rather than the actual day of membership.
