About this event
- Current VSCCA members save $50 by entering by April 20!
- Non-VSCCA members automatically receive Associate Membership by applying for the Drivers' School. Your entry includes the school event, $100 first year dues and a $30 membership application fee (which includes a club grille badge).
The VSCCA Drivers’ School is similar to a full-on race school, but at a fraction of the cost and you can bring your daily driver. You’ll have a great time and will want to return for VSCCA races, hill climbs and rallies. The VSCCA’s Drivers’ School is one of the easiest ways to get into vintage racing and with VSCCA approval in hand, you can participate in other VMC vintage organizations’ events across the country.
Wheel-to-wheel “racing” vintage cars is a special experience. (Racing is in quotes because we practice low-stress, fun track time. There are no trophies to be won.) We race as gentlemen and gentlewomen with special rules in place to keep us and our vintage cars as safe as possible. In addition to racing skills, these are the rules that are taught during our Drivers’ School.
- Drivers' School entrants can run just about any muffled car in the school track sessions.
- You’ll get a great introduction to vintage racing with professional instructors in both classroom and on-track sessions.
- This is a muffled event.
- This year we have an optional 5:00-6:00 PM meet & greet on Thursday.
- Full details of the VSCCA's Drivers' School can be found in this PDF document.
