  • Blue Ridge Region SCCA is proud to announce the first Track Sprint of 2020 held on Virginia International Raceway's Patriot course on March 14th, 2020.  This event will operate under SCCA Track sprint rules , and will take place rain or shine. The event will be run as a Track Sprint, with each car launched at least 30 seconds after the previous car was launched. Entry will be limited to 80 participants in order to provide everyone with ample seat time.  We will be doing non-timed runs in the morning for course familiarization and timed runs in the afternoon.This event will be held with safety as a top priority. Time trial rules can be found at https://timetrials.scca.com/

This event is being run concurrent to NC regional club race weekend on the full circuit. We invite all Track Sprint participants to come support NCR SCCA road race weekend as well as fellow BRR members racing this weekend.

There will be a post event social Saturday evening with NCR. This is a great time for fellowship between the 2 regions.

During lunch we will have drive arounds with donation to charity on the full course.

For any BRR member that would like to stick around the remainder of the weekend and would like to support NCR (flagging, working a specialty, spectating, etc) should get in contact with Steffen Clark at n33d4sp33d13@aol.com so that he may direct you to the correct person and answer questions. BRR members can also get in contact with Steffen on site by looking for his trailer in the main paddock (black enclosed trailer with Mazda and O'Reilly flags) and are also invited to gather at Steffens trailer throughout the day. All other event questions can be directed to Steffen as well.
