The Track Event, which is always a driver school context, has strict safety and passing rules (no actual racing with other cars) that makes it a very safe way to go fast on a real race track.<\/p>\n<p>In addition there are two other SCCA programs where you can run the track in your street car:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Track Night in America, a program of Track Events on weekday nights. The nearest ones are at High Plains Raceway in Colorado<\/li>\n<li>Midwest Division Time Trial Series, competitive events with five or more sessions either as part of a race weekend or as a standalone event, leading to a season championship.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also, there are road racing tracks within an easy 3\u00bd-hour drive of Salina \u2013 Hedge Hollow Raceway east of Kansas City, Hallett Motor Racing Circuit west of Tulsa, Motorsports Park Hastings in Nebraska, and I-29 Speedway south of Omaha, NE. It\u2019s easy to do races at these and still be home before nightfall.<\/p>\n<p>Many SCCA members enjoy attending these events as race officials\/workers \u2013 the people in the white suits who come to an errant driver\u2019s rescue, or the officials in timing or grid or starters or stewards. A road race needs dozens of people each weekend to put the event on and they are always glad to have newcomers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are interested in SCCA road racing, real wheel-to-wheel racing, we can point you in the right direction, whether in a Spec Miata or Improved Touring car on a small budget, or a Formula Continental or GT1 Mustang (Trans-Am type) on a money-is-no-object expense account.
