What is SCCA?The SCCA is the Sports Car Club of America. Since 1944, SCCA has championed one mission: To bring motorsports to the masses of American men and women who are passionate about automobiles, speed and competition. From National Championships to regional events, whether professional or amateur, we exist to organize, support and develop auto racing at every level and provide an outlet for you to get out of the armchair and into the action. So, whether your passion is autocrossing (aka: Solo), rallying or road racing as a professional or as a weekend warrior, SCCA wants to help you fuel your passion. With 112 regions across the country, an SCCA event is not likely to be far from home. So what are you waiting for? You don’t need to own a racecar. You don’t need to be mechanically inclined. You just have to enjoy the speed, sound and atmosphere of motorsports. To learn more about all the SCCA has to offer please visit the national club website at www.SCCA.com. What is RED HILLS REGION SCCA?Red Hills Region Sports Car Club of America is one of the 112 regions of the national SCCA organization. The Red Hills Region is a volunteer club consisting of a Board of Directors and Region members. Red Hills SCCA is Region # 95 of the Southeast Division (see map below). It is based in Tallahassee, Florida and serves the north central Florida and southwest Georgia areas. The Red Hills Region members participate in nearly all forms of SCCA motorsports activities including Solo autocross, Time Trials (open track Solo I), Hillclimbs, Rally and Club Racing (wheel to wheel road racing). The Red Hills Region hosts monthly Solo autocross events for beginners and experienced racers. For more information about our events and schedule CLICK HERE. Solo is the SCCA brand name for autocross competition. Solo events are driving skill contests that emphasize the driver's ability and the car's handling characteristics. This is accomplished by driving a course that is designated by traffic cones on a low hazard location, such as a parking lot. While speeds are no greater than those normally encountered in legal highway driving, the combination of concentration and car feedback creates an adrenaline pumping experience. It is like being in a movie chase scene, only you are holding onto the steering wheel instead of a box of popcorn! Just one car at a time on the course running against the clock. A fast time requires a driver be smooth, precise, and quick. The skills learned in the parking lot at a Solo Autocross will greatly improve your car control and help make you a safer driver on the street. If you’ve always been interested in competing, but can’t afford to buy a dedicated racecar, Solo Autocross may be the sport for you. Cars are classed with other cars of similar performance, and classes are divided into different preparation levels (from stock to highly modified). You really can “run what you brung”! First timers are encouraged and welcome to participate in the Novice Class with personal instruction always available. |
