| The next event is the end of August - Barber Motorsports Park
The historics should be pretty cool - I've never gone to see SCCA racing so I don't know how that will stack up from a spectator perspective.

The Nationals are pretty good, regionals as a rule are not too well attended. What I like about SCCA Nationals is there are several races with fair sized fields of a diverse nature.

They finished.
