The '''Sports Car Club of America''' ('''SCCA''') is a club and sanctioning body supporting [[road racing]], [[rallying|rally]], and autocross in the United States and was formed in 1944. It runs many different programs for both amateur and professional racers.

==Types of racing==
===Club racing===
The club racing program <ref>[http://www.scca.com/Club/Club.asp?IdS=001DEE-9734710&x=030|010&~= SCCA - Sports Car Club of America]</ref> is the [[road racing]] division where drivers race wheel-to-wheel on either dedicated race tracks or on temporary street circuits. Competitors require either a regional or a national racing license. Both modified production cars (ranging from lightly-modified cars with only extra safety equipment to heavily-modified cars that retain only the basic shape of the original vehicle) and designed-from-scratch "formula" and "sports racer" cars can be used in club racing.

Most of the participants in the Club Racing program are unpaid amateurs, but some go on to professional racing careers. The club is also 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). In 2006, the "Runoffs" moved to Heartland Park Topeka. Beginning in 2009 the Runoffs will be held at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin for a minimum of three years. The current SCCA record holder is Jerry Hansen with 27 titles. Hansen is the father of TLC and Spike TV television personality and author Courtney Hansen.

===Road rallying===
Road rallies <ref>[http://www.scca.com/Rally/Rally.asp?IdS=001DEE-9734710&x=040|010&~= SCCA - Sports Car Club of America]</ref> are run on open, public roads. These are not races in the sense of speed (obviously, speed limits are to be obeyed), but of precision and navigation. The object is to drive on time, arriving at checkpoints with the proper amount of elapsed time from the previous checkpoint. Competitors do not know where the checkpoints are.

===Rally racing===
The [[SCCA ProRally]] is a national performance [[Rallying|Rally]] series similar to the [[World Rally Championship]]. At the end of the 2004 season SCCA dropped ProRally and ClubRally. A new organization, [[Rally America]], picked up both series starting in 2005.

===Professional racing series===
The SCCA also has many professional series ('''Pro Racing''') <ref>[http://www.sccapro.com/index.html SCCA - Sports Car Club of America]</ref> like the popular [[SPEED World Challenge]] as well as the Pro [[MX-5 Cup]] and newly-formed (2008) Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup . The SCCA is also the governing body for the [[Formula 2000 Championship Series]]. [http://www.f2000championshipseries.com/]

== Divisions and regions ==
The SCCA is organized into regions and local areas, each organizing events in that area to make the events more accessible to people throughout the country. There are eight large areas of the country which form divisions and which are further sub-divided into regions.
