“…while visions of racing cars danced in their heads.”


It’s that magical time of year when the warmth of family and friends, teammates and competitors, that we experience throughout the year is felt just a bit stronger.


From your VSCCA family, we wish you season’s greetings and the happiest of holidays—may you and your loved ones enjoy one another’s company and good cheer, and your driving dreams become reality in the coming New Year.

 

"We come for the cars, but stay for the camaraderie." Join us!


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.

Find your niche below.


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.
  • 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 groups

“Preservation” cars through the early 70’s. These can be entered for our “track day” events at Lime Rock Park during our Spring Sprints and Fall Finale events - in a group that doesn’t allow wheel-to-wheel racing and passing only on the straights.


Autocross

Our very popular “Driven to Race” event held in the spring requires only a driver’s license. No safety gear and you can bring any muffled car.


Hillclimbs

Our popular Mt Equinox hillclimb sells out early and requires safety gear, but you may find another hillclimb that fits your fancy.


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.

The 1908 event was put on by the Automobile Club of Springfield and sanctioned by the racing board of the American Automobile Association. The cars were timed over a measured mile by the Timing Club of New York City.


This is a town wide celebration that includes a car show, craft show, plant sale, food vendors and a DJ.
