VSCCA Moving Forward

There is something exhilarating about piloting an older sporting machine on a racetrack. It’s a delicate balance, skillfully driving a car whose narrow tires, vintage suspension, and performance limits are explored—often in the close company of a field made up of similar vintage machinery. Winning becomes unimportant as the art of driving an old warhorse at or near its limits on a legendary racing circuit is its own reward.

For more than 65 years, the Vintage Sports Car Club of America (VSCCA) has offered a unique blend of vintage racing, automotive enthusiasm, and camaraderie. The club—and it is first and foremost a club—provides the opportunity for its members to exercise their vintage sports and racing cars in a way that respects their heritage and provenance, while also providing fun and safe good-natured competition.

If you are the lucky owner of such an automobile, you owe it to yourself to join us—either as a beginner in our “Driven to Race Autocross” program, at our annual VSCCA Vintage Racing School, one of several tours, or as an established driver at one of our track or hillclimb events. If you are already a VSCCA member and know of a friend or a family member who has yet to discover our unique events, invite them to join in the fun—as a driver, course marshal, or event official. Our club survives and is successful because of the passion of all of its members and we invite you to join us.

So many ways to play with us!

Want to participate in our events? We offer several opportunities for car enthusiasts ranging from leisurely tours, to wheel-to-wheel racing, to social events. The type of car you bring depends on the event, but rest assured, there’s something for everyone and most events don’t require VSCCA membership.

Find your niche below.

Wheel-to-wheel racing

• VMC, SCCA and similar logbook cars through the early 70’s from VMC affiliated groups that meet VSCCA safety regulations and be equivalent to SVRA groups 1, 3, 4, and 5b i.e. sports and small bore production cars through early seventies and sports racing cars under 2 liters, all running on treaded tires. This would of course include cars with VSCCA logbooks.
• Drivers need a VMC (vintage racing) license and safety gear, but if you don’t have a license, the VSCCA offers a race school each spring. Join us!

Preservation track groups

“Preservation” cars through the early 70’s. These can be entered for our “track day” events at Lime Rock Park during our Spring Sprints and Fall Finale events - in a group that doesn’t allow wheel-to-wheel racing and passing only on the straights.

Autocross

Our very popular “Driven to Race” event held in the spring requires only a driver’s license. No safety gear and you can bring any muffled car.

Hillclimbs

Our popular Mt Equinox hillclimb sells out early and requires safety gear, but you may find another hillclimb that fits your fancy.

Tours

Leisurely 1- or 2-day group tours along the scenic roads of the Northeast. Inexpensive with no timing or gimmicks. Just a map, great lunch and when sleeping over, great hotels.
