The
breakdown for SCCA is
National Club – produces the SportsCar Magazine and manages the
National Level Competition for Championships across the nation. You
must join SCCA to participate in SCCA competition events.
JOIN SCCA
or contact your local region (info below). If you are in
Canada, you may also want to look into the Canadian FV series
http://formula1200.com or
http://casc.on.ca .
Division – 8 sections of the country – so divided for management and
points competition considerations – all Divisions have Divisional
Championships
Region – specific local area – where meetings are held. Regions
support the various races at selected race tracks closest to their
area. All memberships are processed through one (or more) regions.
Most regions also have a ‘local area’ newsletter. Many regions also
have local Championships.
The
steps to get started in SCCA driving are at
http://www.scca.com/pages/i-want-to-road-race
There are 2 “levels” of club racing – Regional (starter) and
National (get out your wallet and go after the top NATIONAL
CHAMPIONSHIP – held at varying locations across the USA.
With
SCCA you can cross Division borders at any time to race anywhere in
the USA. Details about the divisions can be found at
http://www.scca.com/regions
Your
first step after joining SCCA might be to consider RENTING a vee to
decide if you really like the class before BUYING one. However, the
largest collection of FV’s for sale that I’m aware of can be found
at
http://sracing.com/ForSale/forsale.htm
A
few rental possibilities can be found on our
LINKS page (yellow area). If you want to rent, but can't
find a vendor, contact me and I'll see if I can put you in touch
with someone.
Feel free to contact
me (link to Webmaster below) with questions about any of the cars.
I am probably familiar with most of them.
It has been said many times that
CREWING for someone else is the absolute BEST way to become involved
if you are completely new to racing.
You'll help get the car prepared, go to
the races, etc. In the process you will learn much that will reduce
the intimidation factor. Once you step into the car and go to your
first drivers school you will be much more comfortable. If you are
interested in that avenue, please
drop me an email with your
city/state and I'll see if I can find someone to truly introduce you
to FV - up close and personal.
If
you are seriously interested, then you should also join the FV
Registry at
http://www.formulavee.us/index.htm#registry (click on 'SIGNUP
HERE')
to
get occasional emails about specifics directly related to the class.
