CLUB RACING

Super Sweep

At the 2009 National Convention, SCCA announced the foundation for its new Club Racing Super Sweep program, honoring drivers who “sweep” all four criteria in a given season, including a win at one of nine key National events, a Divisional class point championship, a Runoffs class win and a class win in the newly formulated nationwide point structure.

The concept takes the Chicago Region SCCA Triple Crown® one step further, making it the most difficult accomplishment for an SCCA Club Racing driver in a given season.

 

The Super Sweep has four legs, which a driver must complete in the same class, including:

Leg 1: A class win at one of the following events:
- April 4, Buttonwillow, Race one of the SPDiv Double National
- May 2, Daytona Int’l Raceway, SEDiv National
- May 2, Heartland Park Topeka, Race one of the MWDiv Double National
- May 2, Texas Motor Speedway, Race one of the SWDiv Double National
- May 10, Portland Int’l Raceway, NPDiv National
- May 31, Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, GLDiv National
- June 20-21, Road America, CENDiv National
- July 4, High Plains Raceway, Race one of the RMDiv National
- July 12, Watkins Glen, NEDiv National

Leg 2: A divisional class championship

Leg 3: An SCCA National Championship (Runoffs win)

Leg 4: Class Champion of the newly-created nationwide points championship.

The points will be distributed as follows at each National Club Racing event (retroactive to the start of the 2009 season):
- Base points per the GCR (12, 9, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
- One bonus point for each starting car a driver beats (capped at 10)
- A driver may count his/her best seven races regardless of Division

In addition to up to seven regular season races, points will be added to a driver’s total for the Runoffs on the following schedule:
- Double GCR base points for the top nine finishers (24, 18, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2)
- One bonus point for each starting car a driver beats (no limit)

The driver with the most combined points will be declared the winner of that class. Ties will be broken per the GCR. If ties cannot be broken the final tiebreaker will be the total number of cars beaten in that season.

The winner of an SCCA Super Sweep will receive a special trophy and recognition after the National Championship Runoffs.

The Nationwide Point Structure will be updated weekly on the National Point Standings Page under the Club Racing header at SCCA.com. A list of qualifying event winners will also be posted there.
