Upcoming Natonal Event Near You: SCCA Time Trials at Pitt RacePennsylvania is going to host an SCCA National event. Granted it's time trials and not autocross,but it's still pretty cool. Sept 19-21 at Pitt Race will take host to the SCCA Time Trial Nationals. More information can be found below.
Reminder: Event Photos Available!Many of us remember that one run where everything just flowed, or maybe that one cone we just couldn't keep from tagging. They say a picture's worth a thousand words, so why not get a photo from our events to show off to friends and family? With easy downloads and paper prints right at your fingertips, Ben Burkhart Photography has you covered. Regale your loved ones with the excitement of racing (and maybe convince them to come join the fun) with photos from Autocross, Rallycross, Hill Climb, Car Shows, and sometimes even someone being goofy in paddock. Hit the button below and check out Ben's work, as he continues to be not only a great photographer at our events, but also a continuing region sponsor.

News from SCCA Mark Scroggs: 1970-2025AUG 18, 2025 — A Club member since 2006, Mark Scroggs consistently gave more to the SCCA® Solo® community than he ever took. With his passing over the weekend following an extended battle with cancer, he leaves the Club a far better place than he found it. After discovering autocross in 1992 while living in the Sacramento, CA, area, Mark jumped in with both feet. As his passion grew, so did his competitiveness, and in 2014, his driving reached a turning point. That year, he swept the West Coast National Solo events and was hoping to attend the Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championships for the first time – an adventure that very nearly didn’t happen. Shocking Racer: Meet One Amazing Electric Cobra That (Yes) Races with SCCAJUL 30, 2025 — The cobra is a quick, silent snake that strikes fear in the heart of its prey. Much the same can be said of the lookalike Cobra built from scratch in Vancouver, BC, by Doug Yip of SCCA’s Northwest Region. The one-of-a-kind creation is fast, quiet, and ready to attack as a result of being an electric vehicle (EV).The car has seen action in Regional SCCA® Road Racing, classed as a GT-Overmodified (GT-O) vehicle, as well as HillClimbs where it competes in the Unlimited 1 (U1) field. And if you need proof the vessel is speedy, it recently became the fastest Production-bodied car to ever complete the 2.2-mile Knox Mountain Hill Climb in Canada. Run/Work & Event Schedules Revealed for 2025 Solo Nationals…But That’s Not AllAUG 19, 2025 — Editors Note: This article has been updated to reflect updated start times for the Town Hall and Welcome Party. You ready to ROCK?! If you’re attending the Sept. 1-5, 2025, Tire Rack SCCA® Solo® National Championships in Lincoln, NE, you better be, because with amps cranked and guitars in hand, this rock-and-roll themed autocross will soon take center stage. But have you found yourself in need of more Solo Nats info to keep your excitement up? Us too! All day long we think of things, but nothing seems to satisfy. We think we’ll lose our mind if we don’t find something to pacify. Runoffs Paddock Must-Knows, Plus Runoffs deadlines, Fees, and MoreAUG 06, 2025 — The SCCA® National Championship Runoffs® Presented by Sunoco is one of the most important road races of the year.
