CCR-SCCA Central Carolina Region Sports Car Club of America

It’s UP to you where you go

Did you know that your road racing vehicle likes to get away from the track sometimes? We did. That’s why SCCA made hill climbs the fourth and top level of the Time Trials program. There are no more fences and no more grandstands. Full safety gear is mandatory as it’s just you, your car and a mountain road. Hill Climb events are run on paved mountain roads over short distances, and in the true spirit of racing, fast time wins.

The Central Carolinas Region is proud to offer a new program designed to help novice time trial drivers and road racers get started. We realize getting started in racing is expensive and we’d like to help. Through the SECOND GEAR program, we have collected an inventory of used racing gear that was donated by drivers in the southeastern racing community for your use. This gear is being offered at no charge for competition in specific SCCA SEDIV events. We have a variety of sizes in drivers suits, gloves, and shoes which will allow you to put your money in other areas so you can make your first racing experiences affordable.
