Inside the SCCA: The Road to Lincoln, with Larry MacLeod

(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®.

In the News: Southern West Virginia Region Autocross

An autocross is just an autocross, right? For many of us, we take these monthly gatherings of speed in local parking lots for granted. Sure, we love the challenge and thrill, but these events are one of many facts of life: The sun rises in the morning, your front yard’s grass always grows too much […]

SCCA’s Ties With Sunoco Run Deeper Than You Think

If you look up Sunoco on SCCA®’s “Official Partners” page, you’ll discover that Sunoco has been the “Official Fuel of SCCA” since 2001. And while a 22-year history is nothing to balk at, it barely scrapes the surface of the true ties SCCA and Sunoco share. According to Sunoco, the company got its start in […]

Deadline Reminder: Region Development Grant

Region leaders of the Sports Car Club of America® know how difficult it is to run a successful motorsports program. From facility rental, to marketing, to something seemingly as simple as supplying lunches to volunteers, the “to do” list goes on and on. And while Regions succeed on these event-to-event tasks, there’s always more that […]
