Deadline Nears: Now’s the Time to Nominate Someone for the SCCA Hall of Fame

MAY 15, 2025 — First celebrated in 2005, the Sports Car Club of America® Hall of Fame has become the who’s who of American motorsports. From Paul Newman to Phil Hill, Bobby Rahal, Lyn St. James, and more, those who have been inducted into the SCCA Hall of Fame are among the most celebrated and influential in the industry. That’s not to say it’s all about driving skills, with the likes of Dr. Bob Hubbard, Jim Downing, General Curtis E. LeMay, John Bishop, and many others working behind the scenes to ensure motorsports would continue to prosper.

How did these motorsports luminaries earn their place in SCCA’s Hall of Fame? The first step was through their accomplishments and achievements. The second step was having someone like you nominate them for the honor.

Speaking of which, the submission deadline for the SCCA Hall of Fame class of 2026 is June 15, 2025.

Hagerty: What to Use to Clean up Oil Spills and Leaks

MAY 14, 2025 — If you’re into #funwithcars as much as we are, you’ve undoubtedly needed to use an absorbent at some point to clean up freshly (er) “liberated” oil or antifreeze that found its way to your garage floor. Perhaps for the hundredth time. For that, Hagerty’s Kyle Smith recently stumbled upon a YouTube video where Project Farm creator Todd Osgood tested a variety of products that can be used to clean up oil and antifreeze spills.

“The test was simple: Weigh out an amount of absorbent, then saturate it with oil or coolant and weigh again to see how much oil was absorbed,” Smith wrote. “This was also compared to each absorbent’s price to get a ballpark of both effectiveness and value. In the end, there were clear front runners for both absorbent mats and granulated. For a put-down-and-sweep-up option, these tests favored Coco Cleaner Pro, which is made from coconut fibers. Meanwhile, Pig brand mats fared the best out of the mat tests.”
