Thanks for registering for the VSCCA Vintage Racing Drivers' School!

The VSCCA Driver's School is a multi-day program designed to train and evaluate prospective wheel-to-wheel event participants. Most of our students have previous track driving experience, and our program focuses on how to engage safely in our events amongst friends in valuable vintage cars. You’ll have a great time and will want to return for VSCCA races, hill climbs and tours. The VSCCA’s Vintage Racing Drivers’ School is one of the the most straightforward 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 with the VSCCA 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.
