(Looking for an inside line on the Club? “Inside the SCCA” is a podcast that features interviews with the Club’s leading personalities, but it’s not owned by SCCA®. Instead, it’s an independent media outlet managed by Rule 15 Productions and hosted by longtime SCCA member and journalist Brian Bielanski. He uses the Club’s name with permission.)
Ever wonder how amateur motorsports clubs like the Sports Car Club of America™ keep the tires turning? In this final episode of a three-part series, SCCA® Vice President of Experiential Programs Hayward Wagner joins podcast host Brian Bielanski for a deep dive into the growth engine that is Track Night in America® Driven by Tire Rack and the enduring culture of SCCA Autocross (otherwise known as Solo®). The episode pulls back the curtain on how these programs became the largest participation events in the Club.
Learn the core philosophy behind Track Night’s massive success (“Fastest way to get on track”) and the biggest challenge facing the SCCA: inventory (finding available racetracks!). Plus, Wagner addresses the biggest Autocross debate — the challenges of rule evolution and the future of the Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championships at Lincoln Airpark.
If you love driving your car on the edge or want to see where the next generation of participants comes from, this is a must-watch.
