For SCCA club racers, the opportunity to race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s road course for this year’s National Championship Runoffs was something most could have only dreamed of.
More than 1,000 entries pre-registered although a number of them dropped off by this weekend’s races, but the number still ended at 983 cars entered, and were spread across 24 races.
This year’s Runoffs held at IMS followed runs at Mid-Ohio (2016), Daytona (2015), Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca (2014) and Road America (2013) in the last five years.
Next year, the Runoffs head back West to Sonoma Raceway on October 16-21, 2018.
Crowning amateur national champions @IMS & hosting nearly 1,000 drivers the past 11 days was one of the coolest things we've done! Thanks! https://t.co/1IGSxqSZjb
