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.


Quick reference driving events (PDF) NEW! Please refer to each event information for details


Find your niche below.


Please note that car & personal safety regulations that differ depending on the type of event apply. See specific event for details.


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 are 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.
  • Strict car and personal safety regulations apply.
  • 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 group at Spring Sprints & Fall Finale

Member’s race & street cars from the Prewar era through the early ‘70s. We love to see former race cars (and drivers) who may not be competing anymore, or vintage road-going sports cars that our fellow VSCCA members want to enjoy on track. These are “track day” events - in a group that doesn’t allow wheel-to-wheel racing and passing only on the straights. Relaxed car and personal safety regulations apply. Must be muffled and on treaded tires.


Autocross

Our very popular “Driven to Race” event held in the spring requires only a driver’s license. Any muffled car and no safety gear except a helmet if your car a roll bar. Passengers allowed.


Hill Climbs

Our popular Mt Equinox hill climb sells out early and requires safety gear, but you may find another hill climb that fits your fancy. Similar to wheel-to-wheel racing requirements, but specific to the event.


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. We prefer early seventies and older cars, but allow daily drivers.
