a.            General Rules: If you want to experience wheel-to-wheel racing in a lower-pressure environment than the Runoffs or even Regional racing - the Club Racing Experience is for you. Also known as "CRE,"  at a Club Racing Experience event you can enjoy all of the excitement of wheel-to-wheel racing without all of the pressure - and there will be an instructor coach there to help you through the process. CRE is open to SCCA members with or without previous racing experience/race license who self-certify that they have no disqualifying medical issues. If you're not a member yet (which we hope you will choose to be), you can still try out CRE on a weekend membership.

b.           Eligible Vehicles: Vehicles shall be production-based vehicles with a performance level equal or less than a normal SCCA E Production, GT-3 or Touring 3 class. This would be similar to a production-based vehicle with 350 h.p. or less. SCCA Spec Racer Ford (all generations) vehicles are also eligible. No car may run a lap time faster than 1:40:00.
