TOPEKA, Kan. (Aug. 6, 2018) – Registration for the 2018 SCCA® National Championship Runoffs® opens Wednesday, August 8, at 10 a.m. Central Time. That means it’s also time for competitors to again register for a multitude of Runoffs-specific contingency opportunities before the event’s first-ever visit to Sonoma Raceway.
Registration for contingencies will be conducted through MotorsportReg.com to streamline the procedure. Competitors can simply sign up online for the appropriate contingencies Aug. 8 when registration opens. Changes can also be made through MotorsportReg.com up to October 1. After that, drivers will only be able to adjust contingency selections on site at the registration office in Tech.
Nearly 30 companies have stepped up to support racers by offering contingency sponsorship programs. Many contingency opportunities require pre-registration. Details and instructions to register for each of these programs are available at the SCCA Contingency webpage. U.S. Majors Tour contingency registration does NOT include the Runoffs. It is the responsibility of each competitor to make sure they are in compliance with each program for which they would like to enroll. Below is a quick glimpse at what is available this year.
