VSCCA Vintage Racing Drivers' School

• Save $50 by entering by April 17!
• Non-VSCCA members automatically receive Associate Membership by applying for the Drivers' School. Your entry includes the school event, $100 first year dues and a $30 membership application fee (which includes a club grille badge).

The VSCCA Drivers’ School is similar to a full-on race school, but at a fraction of the cost and if your VSCCA-eligible race car isn't ready, you can bring your daily driver - subject to approval. 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 easiest 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 is a special experience. (Racing with the VSCCA 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.

• Drivers' School entrants can run just about any appropriate muffled car in the school track sessions.
• You’ll get a great introduction to vintage racing with professional instructors in both classroom and on-track sessions.
• This is a muffled event.
• Full details of the VSCCA's Drivers' School can be found in this PDF document.
•  If you're not entering a VSCCA-eligible race car, you'll be free Saturday afternoon and can also do
