The Sports Car Club of America or SCCA is a legitimate organization where the best and the finest sports cars can be found.

Contrary to most popular beliefs, the Sports Car Club of America is not an exclusive organization. It is not just for the elite or for those who can afford to buy a sports car. It is simply a club that primarily functions both as a non-profit organization of sports car fanatics and a "sanctioning body" that sponsors autocross, rallies, and road racing in the country.

Today, SCCA boasts of more than 65,000 active members, ranging from professionals down to the amateurs and even those who simply cannot resist the force and magnetic appeal of sports cars.

With this large number of members, SCCA is now acclaimed as the "most active participation organization" in today's world of "motor sports."

Every year, SCCA holds more than 2,000 professional motor sports events as well as those meant for amateurs. The basic programs or events are the following:

1. Solo

This particular program of SCCA deals with the autocross program. In this event, only one car is allowed to run along a course arranged with many "traffic cones." The area is a typical large concrete surface that is big enough and long enough to host the event.

2. Club Racing

This is the "road racing" category. This event is where sports cars race against each other either on transitory street circuits or on a race track.

Its yearly club racing championship for the national division is known as the "Runoffs."

3. Road Rallies

This is a different rally because the competition is not based on speed but on the actual navigation and precision of the race.

These SCCA events are usually open to the public and the races are usually run on public roads.

Basically, the SCCA has 110 regional chapters that are widely distributed in the United States. Each individual chapter has their own racing events and championships. They also have their own rules and regulations on licensing, membership, member benefits, and insurance.

These regional chapters are all patterned on the administrative rules of the club. These rules are coordinated and maintained by SCCA's CEO and President Steve Johnson.

With all these remarkable qualities, SCCA is definitely one club worthy of recognition. It is one of the most celebrated clubs in the world of sports car racing.
