Sports Car Club of America, Inc. was founded in 1944 by a group of amateur motorsports enthusiasts and today boasts nearly 65,000 members. SCCA now sanctions more than 2,000 amateur and professional motorsports events each year. With 115 regional chapters covering the entire United States, Guam and Puerto Rico, SCCA provides true grassroots participation and is the largest active motorsports membership organization in the world. Local events at nearby circuits remain the backbone of club activities. SCCA’s volunteer staff provides everything from course marshaling to timing and scoring, at both club and professional events. In addition to Club Racing, SCCA is the home to Pro Racing, RallyCross, Solo and RoadRally, all of which offer a wide variety of amateur and professional motorsports competitions. SCCA Enterprises, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SCCA, constructs and maintains three cars, the venerable SCCA Spec Racer Ford, new Spec Racer Ford Gen3 - both single-seat, sportsracers - and the Formula Enterprises open-wheel machine. SCCA’s Club Racing program is designed to fulfill the need of the “amateur athlete.” It is a comprehensive, nationwide program featuring events held throughout the year that cater to the driver who perhaps prefers to test his or her skill on a part-time basis, rather than compete full time on SCCA’s professional circuits. Nevertheless, because the competition at the club level is so fierce, many professionals also participate in this program to further hone their skills and compete at SCCA’s National Championship Runoffs. The amateur road racing program is administered by SCCA’s Club Racing Department. A staff of SCCA personnel handles the needs of the amateur racecar driver, including drivers’ schools - to help a new racer earn his or her license, a Regional racing program - for those just starting out, Performance Driving Experiences and the U.S. Majors Tour - the highest level of amateur road racing in North America. Club Racing is an integral part of SCCA. Nearly half of the membership is involved on the amateur level, either as drivers, crew, workers or officials. More than 7,000 SCCA members hold competition licenses allowing them to compete within SCCA’s Club Racing programs. 2 2015 SCCA® Club Racing Media Guide SCCA Club Racing National Staff President & CEO Business Development, Marketing & Experiential Lisa Noble Robert Clarke - Vice President, Business Development President, SCCA ProRacing Executive Assistant Reece White - Sr. Manager, Marketing & Communications Aimee Thoennes Melissa Flesher - Manager Marketing Services Chris Berg - Public Relations Coordinator Competition Operations Andie Albin - Digital Marking & Communications Eric Prill - Vice President/Chief Operations Officer Coordinator Deanna Flanagan - Sr. Manger, Club Racing Claudine Stueve - Support Specialist, Road Racing Heyward Wagner - Director, Experiential Programs John Bauer - Club Racing Technical Manager John Steflik - Creative Director Michael Annis - Club Racing Technical Coordinator Finance Mindi Pfannenstiel - Sr. Director, Finanace & Human Resources Mitchell Root - Manager, Accounting & Human Resources Member and Region Services Colan Arnold - Senior Director of Technology Brian Devilin - Web Application Developer Derek Frakes - Member Services Manager SCCA Club Racing Style Guide First Usage: Sports Car Club of America SCCA® National Championship Runoffs® Second Usage: SCCA SCCA Runoffs Proper Capitalization: SCCA Club Racing SCCA Club Racer National Class Names (Abbreviations): American Sedan® (AS) GT-3 (GT3) B-Spec (BSpec) GT-Lite (GTL) E Production (EP) Prototype 1 (P1) F Production (FP) Prototype 2 (P2) H Production (HP) Spec Racer® Ford (SRF) Formula 500 (F500) Spec Racer® Ford Gen3 (SRF3) Formula 1000 (FB) Spec Miata (SM) Formula Atlantic® (FA) Formula Continental® (FC) Super Touring® Lite (STL) Formula Enterprises (FE) Super Touring® Under (STU) Formula F (FF) Formula Mazda (FM) Touring 1 (T1) Formula Vee® (FV) Touring 2 (T2) Touring 3 (T3) GT-1 (GT1) Touring 4 (T4) GT-2 (GT2) 2015 SCCA® Club Racing Media Guide 3 Garmin VIRB In 2015, the SCCA announced a new partnership naming Garmin VIRB the Official Camera of SCCA.
