High Speed Track Action at Autobahn Put an Exclamation Point on the Time Attack Challenge Season

You want high speed Autobahn action? The Tire Rack SCCA® Time Attack Challenge provided just that — at Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, IL, that is. The weather during the Aug. 2-3, 2025, weekend was perfect with a grippy track, allowing personal bests to be set — and reset — all weekend long. Saturday ran […]

Time Attack Challenge Brings the Action to the West Coast with 2026 Multi-Event Series

The Tire Rack SCCA® Time Attack Challenge is no stranger to the West Coast, although it could hardly be considered a regular customer. In 2025, the Time Attack Challenge kicked off its eight-event series with a stop left of the Rockies — but that was it. Truth is, since the creation of the series (then […]

There was Nothing Tricky About This Time Attack Challenge Weekend at Pocono, Just Fun and Speed

The Tire Rack SCCA® Time Attack Challenge rolled along during the July 19-20, 2025, weekend in Long Pond, PA, at Pocono Raceway, taking advantage of two different configurations at the Tricky Triangle to add even more challenge to an already competitive weekend.

Time Attack Challenge is About to Head to Autobahn, And You’re Invited

Just like with any good competition car build, we assembled this preview article about the forthcoming Tire Rack SCCA® Time Attack Challenge at Autobahn Country Club on Aug. 2-3, 2025, at the last minute. And, just like most enthusiasts, we decided to cut corners where we thought nobody would notice. Enter AI. Let’s see what […]

Targa Southland: The Classic Returned, the Points Didn’t Matter, and the Teams Loved It

For more than seven years, a Facebook group titled “Targa Southland” sat mostly dormant. A couple times a year, competitors from 2016 and 2017 would chime in, often when someone drove past Bart’s Bait and Tackle shop in northern Georgia, or when an old picture memory cropped up of one of many adventures that were […]

Targa’s Final Stop of 2025 Is an Epic Tour of Chicagoland: Don’t Miss This Deep-Dish Drive

SCCA® Targa is the Club’s best kept track adventure everyone’s in love with. Not only have we been telling you all about it, but so have event participants via the Targa Facebook group.

The Chase Is on at Pocono Raceway with This Upcoming Time Attack Challenge

Chase Briscoe did it last month. Denny Hamlin has done it five times. Daniel Dobalo and SCCA® phenom Connor Zilisch have also accomplished it. That’s right, those are the names everyone is chasing at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, PA, for the ultimate motorsports crossover — and the Tire Rack SCCA Time Attack Challenge is […]

The Action Was Hot, Hot, Hot During the Time Attack Challenge at CMP

Carolina Motorsports Park (CMP) is no stranger to the Tire Rack SCCA® Time Attack Challenge, having hosted an event in 2019, 2020, and 2022 before CMP’s return to the schedule this year. That’s probably why nearly 100 drivers were excited to be on track at the 14-turn, 2.279-mile course, which coincided with the final days […]

If You Haven’t Driven on This Alan Wilson-Designed Circuit, Your Next Opportunity is Coming Up Fast

Alan Wilson is a name you may not know, but as an enthusiast who is obviously interested in participating in motorsport events at awesome tracks (or else why would you be reading this?), his name should be one you commit to memory. Arguably one of the most prolific racetrack designers, Wilson has penned more than […]

This Spec MX-5 Racer Tackled an SCCA Targa — Here’s Why She Recommends You Enter the Next One

Emy Kissick wasn’t who I expected to find in the paddock at SCCA’s initial Targa event of the 2025 season, Targa Texasland. A road racer who won a $50,000 Mazda Motorsports scholarship to race a full season of Spec MX-5 in the SCCA’s U.S. Majors Tour® and Hoosier Racing Tire SCCA® Super Tour in 2025, […]

Targa Southland, the OG of SCCA Targa, is About to Hit the Road, And You’re Invited

Guess who’s back, back again. Targa’s back, tell a friend. Why tell a friend? Because SCCA® Targa events are team sports, so you’ll need a friend if you want to participate. Then — as we discovered during Targa Texasland earlier this year — you’ll make even more friends once the event begins. You’ll need to […]

It’s Time Attack, it’s NCM Motorsports Park, and it’s springtime — something great must have happened!
