Three ways to race

01 — Disciplines
A prepared Volkswagen at speed on an autocross course, cones knocked flat beside it.

Entry point

Autocross

One car at a time against the clock on a cone course. Your daily driver qualifies. Twelve rounds a season at zMAX and Michelin.

A red Datsun Z with a full aero package staged on a closed mountain road at an Appalachian Hillclimb round.

Five rounds

Hillclimb

The Appalachian Hillclimb Series — closed mountain road, blind crests, no runoff. License and full safety gear required.

Two fully prepared race cars sitting on the grid before a session.

Wheel to wheel

Road Racing

SARRC and Majors weekends at Carolina Motorsports Park. Full competition license, logbooked car, and a crew that knows the drill.

Your first autocross

03 — Newcomers
  1. Register online

    Entries open about two weeks out on MotorsportReg. Non-members can still run: that entry includes a weekend membership. Registering on the day costs a little more, and we do not take cash.

  2. Prep the car

    Empty it out, check the battery hold-down, set tires a few psi high. Any street-legal car passes tech — bring a helmet or borrow one of ours.

  3. Walk the course

    Gates at 7:00 AM, novice walk at 8:15 AM. Ask for an instructor — they ride along free and will take a few seconds off your day.

  4. Work, rest, drive

    The field splits into three or four run groups. Across the day you work a heat, sit one out and drive your own. It is how the event runs at all, and working is how you learn the course.

A vibrant community that shares a passion for speed, competition and camaraderie.

CCR SCCA — our mission, unchanged since 1957

Better yet,
join us in person.

Come stand in the paddock on a Saturday morning. Ask anyone in a CCR shirt anything — that's how most of us started.
