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.

  • Pacific Coast Road Racing Championships® Auto
    Pacific Coast Road Racing Championships® Auto Club Speedway – November 14-15, 2020 Welcome to the 2020 edition of the Pacific Coast Road Racing Championships® hosted by the Cal Club Region at Auto Club Speedway. With the 2020 SCCA Runoffs complete, it’s time to really find out who is the fastest on the West Coast. Also adding to the excitement this year is the fact that this facility (Auto Club) as it currently stands, will no longer be hosting Road Racing events in the soon to be future … thus entrants will be getting one of the final opportunities to race on this iconic Southern California track. As the Race Chairman, I’d like to offer up some information that may make your visit to Auto a bit easier. If there are any questions, concerns, suggestions - before, during, or after, please let me know. Again, I am here to make your weekend the best it can be. Auto Club resides in San Bernardino County. San Bernardino has some specific requirements allowing “events” at Auto Club. NASCAR (Auto Club’s Owners) has given us the opportunity to hold this event at their facility, as long as we meet or exceed the requirements mandated by the County. Attached is the formal plan that NASCAR had to approve (along with the Country) to enable us to put on this event. Please read the document and adhere to the mandates. All it takes is one missed stepped item and the event will be shut down and everyone loses the opportunity to participate in one of the final SCCA sanctioned opportunities to participate at the soon-to-be “historic” facility.
