SCCA Pro Racing's history officially dates back more than 35 years with the creation of the United States Road Racing Championship in 1963, the prelude to the Can-Am Challenge, although the concept of SCCA Pro Racing started in the mid-1950s.
Sensing a need to expand from their amateur-only status, a visionary group of SCCA members collected in the early 1960s to stake the SCCA's claim on professional road racing. Not only did SCCA drivers start competing professionally by 1963, but the events were sanctioned and organized by the SCCA. Professional racing within the membership of the SCCA, and around North America, was off and running.
