RallyCross National Tour Returns for 2023

Motorsports excitement comes from an elevated level of competition. For this, SCCA®’s National Championship events allow participants to put it all on the line for a single, winner-take-all shootout. A solitary top-tier event per year, though, is rarely enough — drivers often find themselves jonesing for more. That’s why the SCCA RallyCross National Tour returns […]

2023 RallyCross Nationals Registration Opening Soon

RallyCrossers from across the nation come together once a year to decide who’s best during the winner-take-all SCCA® RallyCross National Championship, and in 2023, that dirty shindig returns to Topeka, KS, Oct. 6-8 at Heartland Motorsports Park. The equation is simple: Perform the best in your class over two days of timed runs (keeping in […]

Building It Better: Arizona RallyCross Finds More Than a New Home

Hosting SCCA® RallyCross events can be a challenge. By its nature, no two RallyCross sites look alike, meaning there’s no one-size-fits-all template for hosting events. Earlier this year, we saw how Detroit Region creatively manages its events in a part of the country that faces rainy conditions that can be hard on a property’s surface. […]

Stop It! Keeping Your Tow Vehicle Under Control

Stopping is a necessary evil of motorsports. We all want to go fast, but to accomplish that, you need brakes that keep you out of trouble. This applies to road courses, autocrosses, RallyCrosses, and RoadRallies, but it’s especially true when getting to the SCCA® event in the first place — doubly if towing. “Let’s be […]

SCCA and ARA Partnership to Grow SCCA RallyCross Program

Competing on everything from dirt courses to grass, ice, tarmac, or a combination thereof, RallyCross is one of the most exciting forms of motorsports the Sports Car Club of America® has to offer. Regardless of the surface, RallyCross places competitors on appropriately sized lots, with drivers navigating cone-marked courses as fast and clean as possible, […]

Detroit Region Capitalizes on Change With Tarmac RallyCross

Sports Car Club of America® members know RallyCross® — it’s autocross on grass and mud, right? That’s a fair definition — but RallyCross can be so much more. Take Detroit Region, for example, which began hosting “Tarmac RallyCross” this year at Milan Dragway. The Region previously hosted mixed surface events, running from pavement to off-road […]

RallyCross National Championship Set for an October Return to Topeka

The RallyCross National Championship is unique from other SCCA National Championship events in a multitude of ways, but most notable is that it consistently moves around the country, offering accessibility to the entire SCCA RallyCross community. The inaugural RallyCross National Championship took place in 2007 in Hasting, NE, and since then the event has traveled […]

SCCA RallyCross: Playpen for Automotive Manufacturers

It’s certainly not uncommon for a corporation to have an employee bowling or softball team. A company with an SCCA RallyCross squad, however, is much rarer. Yet, that is what General Motors has established within its GM Off Road Driving Team (ORDT). Kevan Bates, a 35-year-old engine calibration engineer, is ORDT’s Vehicle Lead. An SCCA […]

RallyCross Is a Blast, and These Videos Prove It

“Oh man it’s fun! It doesn’t get much more fun than that!” And with that enthusiastic endorsement from RallyCross National Champion Bret Hunter, a promotional video produced by SCCA kicks off two minutes of unadulterated RallyCross eye candy. With dirt flying and cars sliding, RallyCross is one of SCCA’s most cherished hidden gems. It’s like […]

Adventure Found Thanks to Women On Track RallyCross Scholarship

The Sports Car Club of America talks a lot about having #funwithcars. But a finer point is the adventure that accompanies playing with cars and being active in the Club. A splendid example of this rests in stories recently shared by Kelly Keefe and Shawna Bowman, recipients of the SCCA Women on Track RallyCross National […]
