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 […]

Tuning Tips: Change One Thing at a Time

At the racetrack, I like to keep things simple. The KISS method (Keep It Simple, Stupid) is perfect for me. I’m not the smartest guy, so I appreciate it when things are as linear as possible. That’s why when I make a change to the setup of a race car, I change ONE thing at […]

It’s Full Speed Ahead with Hagerty and SCCA This Summer

SCCA Targa Carolinas Wielded a New Name and New Tracks, but the Fun Was Just as…Fun

SCCA® Targa Carolinas did things a little differently this year.
