Sports Car Club of America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1050 words)
The Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) is a club and sanctioning body supporting road racing, rally, and autocross in the United States and was formed in 1944.
The club also is the source for race workers in all specialties, without whom racing organization and operation would not be possible.
The annual National Championship for Club Racing is called the "Runoffs" and has been historically held at Riverside International Raceway (1964, 1966, 1968), Daytona International Speedway (1965, 1967, 1969), Road Atlanta (1970-1993) and Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course (1994-2005).
