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 […]

SCCA Targa New England Is Bringing a Wicked Awesome Adventure to the Northeast

With SCCA® Targa Tex-ish and Targa Carolinas in the bag, it’s time for the series to continue its circle of America and head up the coast to New England on July 15-18, 2026, for the aptly named SCCA Targa New England. Hey, we’re nothing if not creative with these event names. If you find our […]

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

Mid-season check-in and … yes, Hagerty (the Official Insurance Partner of SCCA®) is still powering a ton of activities with the SCCA. There was never any doubt. First up: Why? Hagerty, after all, is an insurance company, so why would Hagerty have an interest in the Sports Car Club of America™? Well, Hagerty is like […]

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. Along with having a new name over year’s past, Targa Carolinas organizers also decided that a 0.6-mile oval would be a good idea for a portion of the June 10-14, 2026, multi-day, team-based motorsports adventure that is more about fun than cutthroat competition. They weren’t […]

Champions Will Rise at the Inaugural Time Attack National Championship…But First, You Need to Register

When the Tire Rack SCCA® Time Attack Challenge hit Eagles Canyon Raceway in early May, track records were utterly obliterated, with drivers in more than half the classes setting the bar higher than ever before. Maybe the weekend’s conditions were ideal to maximize speed (which isn’t difficult considering Eagles Canyon is renowned for its incredibly smooth […]

Carolina Motorsports Park Kept Up Tradition with SCCA Time Attack Challenge Action that was Too Hot to Handle

One year ago (nearly to the day), the Tire Rack SCCA® Time Attack Challenge headed to Carolina Motorsports Park (CMP) in Kershaw, SC, with the post-event recap headline reading “The Action Was Hot, Hot, Hot…” Twelve months later, and we could have run the same headline for the June 13-14, 2026, Time Attack Challenge at […]

It’s time! There’s no more waiting around. There’s no more wishing for time to pass. The Tire Rack SCCA® Time Attack Challenge is off to Carolina Motorsports Park (CMP) for what is shaping up to be an action-packed June 13-14, 2026, weekend. Just south of Charlotte in Kershaw, SC, Carolina Motorsports Park is a jewel […]

Record-Breaking Runs Highlighted the Time Attack Challenge Weekend at Thunderhill

Thunderhill Raceway Park is a storied West Coast racetrack that rewards determination and spectacular driving, and the May 30-31, 2026, edition of the Tire Rack SCCA® Time Attack Challenge certainly proved that. That spectacular driving? It included five new track records and 11 class winners on a weekend that also featured Global Time Attack, Spec Racer […]

SCCA Targa Carolinas Is Coming ‘Round the Mountain in June, and All That’s Missing Is You

With SCCA® Targa Tex-ish wrapped, it’s time for you and a friend to plan your next Targa adventure (or your first, for those who couldn’t make Tex-ish) with a four-day jaunt around the Carolinas on June 10-13, 2026. In this automotive adventure that spans North and South Carolina, SCCA Targa Carolinas takes teams on the […]

Registration is Now Open for a Breathtaking Time Attack Weekend at the Ridge

You don’t get towering evergreens and unbelievable rolling terrain at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. So yeah, Indy is cool, but there are places where the scenery truly rocks – like, video game level stuff. For that, scratch your motorsports itch among some insane sights at the Tire Rack SCCA® Time Attack Challenge at Ridge Motorsports Park […]

Looking for a Good Time, SCCA Targa Tex-ish Kicked Off a Targa Season to Remember

If you’re looking for no-nonsense competition where every tenth of a second spells the difference between the ecstatic spraying of champagne and utter disappointment, SCCA’s Targas are not for you. But if (as is unceremoniously engraved into some gas station bathroom doors), you’re looking for a good time, then SCCA® Targa should be your next […]

Registration Now Open: You’ll Be Blue If You Miss the SCCA Time Attack Challenge at Autobahn This August

Listen, when it comes to a strong SCCA® Time Attack Challenge culture, Chicagoland has it. You might (possibly) say those who participate in the Tire Rack SCCA Time Attack Challenge at Autobahn Country Club, Aug. 1-2, 2006, in Joliet, IL, are on a mission from God. The Autobahn event will utilize the 2.1-mile, 15-turn South Circuit […]
