Competing on everything from dirt courses to grass, ice, tarmac, or a combination thereof, RallyCross is one of the most exciting forms of motorsports the Sports Car Club of America® has to offer. Regardless of the surface, RallyCross places competitors on appropriately sized lots, with drivers navigating cone-marked courses as fast and clean as possible, with each run’s time counting toward the final score. That said, some members of RallyCross community aspire to more than what SCCA RallyCross program currently offers, i.e., a path to Rally Sprint and Stage Rally type events. Now, thanks to a partnership with the American Rally Association (ARA), SCCA drivers can test their skills at those higher speed rallies – and do so with a discount.
In the SCCA President’s Update delivered to the Club membership in late April, SCCA President and CEO Mike Cobb shared the news that “SCCA membership would have privileges with the American Rally Association across the balance of 2023 and potentially into 2024.” This partnership between the SCCA and the ARA will grant SCCA RallyCrossers more value for their SCCA membership dollar while providing cost advantaged access to great ARA events spanning the country.
Across 2023, SCCA members will be able to take advantage of numerous money-saving deals. First, at ARA RallySprints, SCCA members will receive $50 off a single event entry using their SCCA membership number as the coupon code at checkout. Similarly, SCCA members will receive $50 off a single ARA Rally event entry using their SCCA membership number as the coupon code at checkout.
In addition to these discounts, the SCCA and ARA teams will work across 2023 to establish a 2024 schedule that could possibly include an ARA Regional Stage Rally, an ARA RallySprint, and an SCCA RallyCross mash-up event.
SCCA members should head to the American Rally Association webpage to check out ARA’s schedule.
Furthermore, keep an eye on SCCA’s RallyCross webpage and Facebook page for the latest information.
