Trunk or Treat - Saturday October 19, 2024 Capitol City Police reached out to me and asked if the club would be able to help assist them with bringing cars to their Trunk or Treat event. The event is Saturday, 10/19, from 3-6pm. They'd like us to bring the cars around 2pm, so we can get everything set up and they can close the area off. They're bringing some fire trucks as well, so they'd like us to get there early. The event is in downtown Harrisburg, and we just need to bring our cars and some candy for the trunks (or frunks depending on your car). If you're interested in helping (they'd love to have 30 or more cars) - we would appreciate it. I created a sign up sheet, so you can put your name and email on it, so as soon as I get firm details from them, I will share them. Thanks in advance!
Car Classing Help AvailableNew to SCCA functions/events, and not sure where your car fits in? Just finished putting enough aero on your Avalon to cross the Atlantic, and not sure if it's legal for H Street? Well good news -- with some help from our fantastic volunteers, we now can assist with car classing questions. Do not be afraid to ask on the facebook groups for classing information as well, but there's now another way to get assistance if you'd prefer. Simply send an email over to
classmycar@scca-susq.com and we'll help to the best of our ability.

Auction Puts you Behind the Wheel at Skip BarberSEP 13, 2024 —Skip Barber is an undeniable motorsports icon. Inducted into the SCCA® Hall of Fame in 2013 thanks to his commitment to the sport and his on-track prowess that took him from SCCA National Champion to Formula 1 racer, Skip Barber is synonymous with motorsports excellence. Proving this once more is the fact that on March 10-11, 2025, Barber will be inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America – and to celebrate, MSHFA and Skip Barber
are auctioning a Skip Barber Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony VIP Experience and Skip Barber Racing School package. But if you want to be the top bidder, you’ll need to act fast because come midday Monday, Sept. 16, this opportunity could have passed you by.This auction, which is taking place on BringATrailer.com and is slated to close at 3:27 p.m. CT on Sept. 16, 2024, is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, as it includes being seated at the same table as the legend himself during the ceremony.
Rallycross National TourSEP 19, 2024 — If you’ve lived in the tristate area of West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio, it’s likely you’ve heard the saying: “Welcome to the Ohio Valley, where you will experience all four seasons – sometimes all in one day!” The opening day of the Aug. 30-Sept. 1, 2024, Country Roads RallyCross National Tour in Cottageville, WV, (the fourth of four RallyCross National Tour events this year before the upcoming RallyCross National Championship) was not exactly like that, but the area did go from drought conditions to gale-force winds and rain between sessions. Participants, crew, and organizers sheltered in their vehicles, then picked up loose wind damage and got right back to competing. In total, seven runs were made on the Saturday with four more on Sunday. What can we say – RallyCrossers are a hearty bunch.
Hagerty: A Temper Tantrum Solved EverythingSEP 16, 2024 —Every automotive enthusiast remembers how working on their car when they were younger involved throwing wrenches. At the time, it seemed like those car parts were out to get you – they were being obtuse just to rile you up. It’s this exact reason that John Phillips’s article on Hagerty.com/media (Hagerty, by the way, is SCCA’s official insurance partner) entitled Amateur Hour: Sometimes a Temper Tantrum Solves
Everything strikes a chord with all of us. The article begins with a bang.
