SCCA Runoffs To Remain At Road America Through 2013

Road America will host the SCCA National Championship Runoffs® through 2013, a two-year extension of the original three-year agreement. The extension assures that the premier event for amateur road racers will remain at the legendary circuit through the event's historic 50th running.

"Feedback from competitors and our members indicated that we should extend our relationship with Road America, but the reality is, assuring that the 50th Runoffs is at a track with an equal amount of history and significance is a natural fit," SCCA President & CEO Jeff Dahnert said. "The 2013 event will be a historic milestone for both the Runoffs and Road America, and we're looking forward to sharing it, and the next three Runoffs, with them."

More than 600 competitors participated in 28 classes at the 2010 Runoffs, which included four days of qualifying and three days of races. In addition, over 500 volunteer workers operate the week-long event, making the Runoffs the center of the road racing world during that period.

"We've seen some of our season's finest, most competitive racing action during the Runoffs," George Bruggenthies, Road America President, said. "The extension through 2013, including the 50th anniversary, is a great compliment to our organization. We will work closely with the SCCA to plan a celebration which befits the incredible spirit and passion behind SCCA club racing."
