Could This Be Your Last Shot at SCCA Targa? Better Enter Targa Great Lakes ASAP!

This is it, folks, your last chance to take part in SCCA’s best kept secret.

Time Attack Challenge Contenders Battle for Season-long Points as the Series Heats Up

It’s summer, and that means (checks calendar) that somehow the 2026 Tire Rack SCCA® Time Attack Challenge is at its halfway point. Being that the Time Attack Challenge is more than individual events (although there’s nothing wrong with hitting only one event a year, if that’s how you want to play it), now’s the ideal […]

From Fast Laps to Campouts, the Upcoming Tricky Triangle Time Attack Challenge Is a Can’t-Miss

“Pocono” originates from a Munsee Native American word that means “drive fast and safely.” OK, so it actually reportedly means “creek between two hills,” but for those attending the July 18-19, 2026, Tire Rack SCCA® Time Attack Challenge, that creek is the winding pavement of a 2.26-mile, 10-turn configuration at the Tricky Triangle in Long […]

Thanks to Track Night and BFG, These Folks Will Be Rolling on Sweet New Tires

Remember June? Those were the days. We were so young and innocent back then. Not a care in the world – other than we desperately wanted to win one of those four sets of tires being given away thanks to Track Night in America® Driven by Tire Rack and BFGoodrich Tires. Now, deep into July, […]

Hagerty’s Anti-Guide to Project Cars

Every project car you pick up, you did so with the best of intentions. The car will be awesome as soon as you fix those suspension clunks, find the right replacement engine, and then upgrade all of the other components to handle that additional power. The build might take you a year (or two…or three…), […]

How Your SCCA Region Can Teach Young Drivers to Handle the Unexpected

The Tire Rack Street Survival school is a nonprofit, one-day driver training program for licensed or permitted drivers ages 15-21 that goes beyond standard driver’s education by teaching real-world car-control and hazard-avoidance skills in a safe, controlled environment. Students use their own vehicles and work one-on-one with trained volunteer coaches to practice emergency braking, skid […]

The Community Rallied at Bristol, Making for an Unforgettable Independence Day ProSolo and Solo National Tour Weekend

If you wanted excuses, the Independence Day weekend at Bristol, featuring the Tire Rack SCCA® Bristol ProSolo® on Thursday and Friday (July 2-3, 2026) and the Tire Rack SCCA Bristol Solo® National Tour on Saturday and Sunday (July 4-5, 2026), could have provided them. But instead of excuses, the autocross community saw opportunities to come […]

Brake Later and Carry More Speed with These SCCA Member Benefits Discounts

Every SCCA® participant knows the fastest drivers aren’t always the ones with the most horsepower. Winning time is found in the braking zone and in the turns. It’s the confidence to brake later, carry more speed through the apex, and put the power down sooner that separates a good lap from a great one. Whether […]

The Easiest Win at the SCCA Runoffs Starts Before the Green Flag with These Free Contingency Programs

Registration for the 2026 SCCA® National Championship Runoffs® is on many people’s minds (in case you missed the news, driver and volunteer registration opens July 7), but while signing up for the Sept. 28-Oct. 4, 2026, winner-take-all event at Road America is key to success, so is registering for the event’s contingency programs.

How Jason Stine Helped Bring New Life to H Production and Earned the 2025 John McGill Award

Meet Jason Stine, 2025 recipient of the SCCA’s prestigious John McGill Award – racer, woodworker, and, since 2021, one of the major domos of one of the Club’s more interesting “tribes.” Stine and a trio of paddock pals (Mike Kelley, Jason LaManna, and Jay Creel) hit upon an idea in the wake of peak COVID […]

Track Night is Rev’d up for 2026 With this Packed Schedule, Are You?

What was the number one item on your New Year’s Resolutions list? If it wasn’t “more track time” then you’re no friend of mine. Ahh, who am I kidding, I could never be mad at you. Whether your deepest desire for 2026 was more track time or not, it’s about to be once you see […]

Tony Jorgensen, 2025 Pit & Grid Worker of the Year, Can Tell You a Story

Had we known Anthony “Tony” Jorgensen in the mid-1960s when his very concerned dad first “encouraged” him to join the Club (hopefully saving his life), no way could we have pictured the tireless and popular SCCA® tech and pit volunteer he would become. Indeed, the then-17-year-old New Jersey hot rodder who lost his license for […]
