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.

Important:

We now require a medical so please schedule it without delay! The VSCCA form can be downloaded here, but we also accept other organizations'.
School is now 3 days - Thursday through Saturday.
The VSCCA runs additional events during this weekend that rcannot be combined with School.

The Skinny

We limit the number of students and all applications will be wait-listed until accepted, at which time they will be advised. Event is full, but we are accepting entries subject to cancelations.
If you pass the School, you’ll have to participate in 2 additional race weekends as a provisional racer, observed for clean driving and safe racing in order to qualify as an Approved Driver.
You must be a current VSCCA member to participate in the school and you must submit a current medical form. (Details below.)
Full details of the VSCCA's Drivers' School can be found in this PDF document.
This is a muffled event!
The VSCCA runs additional events during this weekend that - due to scheduling conflicts, are not available to students.
We have paddock A all weekend starting at at 7:00 AM on Thursday, although the big trucks won’t be able to cross after 10:00 AM because of other track activities.
Invite friends to come watch the racing - it’s fun and free!
