Not content to stay stagnate, our Club Racing program continues to evolve. In 2011, we began the BFGoodrich Tires SCCA Super Tour program. With the help of our partner, BFGoodrich Tires, the series expanded to nine events for 2012, and included one special event in each division. These race weekends featured elements that aren’t always available at National Races, adding to the competitors’ experi- ence. We also unveiled the Majors program in the middle part of the coun- try this season, giving racers in the Rocky Mountain, Midwest and Southwest Divisions an opportunity to run for a larger championship without having to travel the country.

  • Profile: Allan Moffat by James Cockington of Sidney Morning Herald – October 15, 2008
    Profile: Allan Moffat by James Cockington of Sidney Morning Herald – October 15, 2008 Former Bathurst champion Allan Moffat. It's a little-known fact that Canadian-born Allan Moffat, regarded as one of Australia's motor racing legends, briefly studied politics in Melbourne. "My father was working here with Massey Ferguson," he says. "In 1962 I was given a marketing cadetship with Volkswagen Australia on the condition that we do an outside degree. I'd always been interested in politics so I enrolled in economics and politics at Monash University, which had just opened." The deal was the cadets were supposed to turn up at university at 4pm twice a week. That didn't happen a lot in Moffat's case, he admits, because that same year he bought his first car - a Triumph TR3A - and decided to race it. His first race was at Calder. "It was my road car as well. I'd bought it on hire purchase, so I couldn't race it at two meetings in a row in case the insurance company was checking the programs and noticed my name turning up all the time," he says. Racing soon took over from his studies and Moffat received a letter from the chancellor suggesting he not return for the second year of his degree. He now wishes he'd kept that letter. It changed the direction of his life. He returned home to Toronto and in 1964 drove over the border to watch the Indianapolis 500 race. While sitting in the grandstand he decided then and there that he too would be a professional driver.

  • SCCA Pro Conv Pres Notes 2016
    2016 CONVENTION PRESENTATION SELECTED NOTES FROM THE PRESENTATION | SATURDAY 23 JANUARY 2016 PARTICIPATING: Derrick Walker, President, Steve Oseth, Vice President and General Manager. Pat di Natale, Chief Steward. Jim Averett, Series Chief Steward. Kathy Maleck, Field Staff Coordinator. Additional members may be added by session time. Introducing Derrick Walker, incoming President of SCCA Pro Racing Derrick is new to SCCA Pro, but he’s been around racing a bit. Some 40 years ago he got his start working with the Brabham Formula One team – the owner was Bernie Ecclestone. He went on to become a team manager and owner himself. His teams have won the Indy 500 at least 4 times. Prior to joining SCCA Pro he was Director of Operations for IndyCar. SCCA PRO RACING HISTORY AND CONTINUED SUCCESS Although the concept of SCCA Pro Racing dates from the mid 1950’s, our on track history dates back more than 40 years ago with the creation of the United States Road Racing Championship in 1963. From these beginnings grew the Can-Am Challenge, Trans Am, Formula 5000 through the 1960’s and 70’s. SCCA Pro Racing today is continuing to sanction, officiate and organize a wide variety of highly successful professional race series that showcase some of the best racing not only in this country, but in the world. THE SCCA PRO RACING SERIES AND INTERNATIONAL INVOLVEMENT Pirelli World Challenge is the showcase for some of the most sophisticated GT cars in the world. It enjoys tremendous manufacturer involvement and this year is aligned with the Blancpain GT series.

Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26 Title: Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Creator: Ludvigsen, Karl E. Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics. The papers reflect the complexity and breadth of Ludvigsen’s work as an author, researcher, and consultant. Approximately 70,000 of his photographic negatives have been digitized and are available on the Revs Digital Library. Thousands of undigitized prints in several series are also available but the copyright of the prints is unclear for many of the images. Ludvigsen’s research files are divided into two series: Subjects and Marques, each focusing on technical aspects, and were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature, but there are occasional blueprints and photographs. Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1. Subject Files [11 filing cabinets and 18 record center cartons] The Subject Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive topics, and are in general alphabetical order.

Dear SCCA Media Partners, Welcome to what is truly a new era of the Sports Car Club of America, as the SCCA National Champi- onship Runoffs heads west for the first time in 46 years to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. This event, made possible with the help of our friends and partners at Mazda and the Sports Car Rac- ing Association of the Monterey Peninsula (SCRAMP), was met with questions at its announcement that have been answered in a big way, with more than 530 drivers on the entry list and a rejunvenaton of the west coast program all season long. While we haven’t been west of the Rockies since River- side International Raceway in 1968, it’s hard to believe it will be that long before we return again. The question on everyone’s mind, even more than usual, is who is going to win? Are there hidden gems on the west coast who may be making their first Runoffs appearance that will make a name for themselves on the national stage, or will the traditional contenders learn a new track quickly enough to hold their titles? My guess is that we’ll see some of each.
