SCCA Club Racing
It is a comprehensive, nationwide program featuring races held throughout the year that cater to the driver that perhaps prefers to test his or her skill on a part-time basis, rather than compete full-time on SCCA's professional circuits. Nevertheless, because the competition at the club level is so fierce, many professionals also participate in this program to further hone their skills and compete at SCCA's Valvoline Runoffs®.

To get started, you must attend two driver's schools. You can attend a professional driver's school, such as Skip Barber, or SCCA drivers schools. The first license you receive is a regional race license. With this license, you can participate in regional races. There are over 2,000 SCCA members who hold regional competition licenses and who usually only compete at races in their own area of the country. After six Regional events, the SCCA Club Racer is ready for National competition. With this license, you can participate in either regional or national events. To keep your license current, you must participate in a set number of races each year. To participate in these races, you need an SCCA license. In order to obtain a license, you must attend a driver's school. This can be one of the commercial driving schools, such as Skip Barber, or it can be an SCCA driver's school. If you check the race schedule, you'll note that several driver schools are held in conjunction with races during the summer.

Arrive and Drive
Many drivers rely on customer service representatives when they first start racing. These companies supply the cars, service the cars and transport the cars to the track. You can either rent a car for the weekend or buy your own car. One of the best CSRs for Spec Racer Ford cars is Elite Autosport. This web site has all the information you need about renting, buying, racing, etc. 

SRF Most Popular Class 

According to the January 2002 issue of Sportscar magazine, the SRF class is the most popular. The SCCA logs the number of entrants in each class in the SCCA's 63 National club racing events.  A class retains its national status if it maintains an average of 3.5 participants in the five divisions where that class has the greatest participation. (Huh?) Anyway, the SRF calls earned a 27.4 five division average. The next closest classes were Formula Continental with a  16.8 five division average and Formula Vee with a 16.2 five division average. No classes lost their national status, although Touring 2 and C Sports Racers are right on that number.
