- This video talks about getting your competition license with the Sports Car Club of America. More specifically, going through an SCCA Competition Licensing School; also known as a driver's school. I know there are some small spelling mistakes in the video but I just don't have time to go back and redo it so bare with me please.

Great video. Cant believe the low views. Figured this video would have 100k views
Well presented - thanks for taking the time to share this info!
This is a great video and I've already watched several times. Planning to get my SCCA Competition License at Blackhawk Farms next year as well but not sure one thing about GCR. They say my car, 2022 C8 Corvette needs a FPR, Flat Plate Restrictor. I'm not sure if I need to install this before the Driver's School or by the end of my Novice Permit. Thank you for your work on this.
That's my home track! I'm happy to help you out if you'd like. Regarding the restrictor plate, it's best to have your car fully prepared because if you pass the school you'll want to cross over to the race weekend which will require that you are gcr compliant. For the driver school you only technically need all the safety items. Shoot me an email, happy to help. jwickert3@gmail.com
@@jwickert3 Thank you for your response. That's very helpful. I live in Illinois and Blackhawk Farms is one of the closest tracks that I go to learn my car. Yes, I'll make sure to be fully gcr compliant before the driver's school.
One thing I don’t understand is for the SCCA regional schools, is the requirement that + 3 events? Cause everything else is laid out I.e full competition schools, school + 1 event etc but for the regional schools it doesn’t specify
SCCA has a list of private driver schools that they will acknowledge for credit towards your full competition license. MSR Huston is one that is able to get you a full competition license right away. The racing schools hosted by the scca regions, for mine it was Thursday night classroom discussion and Friday 5 on track sessions. Once that was completed, that Saturday and Sunday was a regional race weekend I raced in. That counted as 1 of the 3 minimum regional races needed to aquire a full competition license.
I have always wanted to do this but my life was never heading there but now that I am more established and settled down, I am now curious about getting more involved with what I love. Is there an age requirement to obtain this? If not, I would still like to be involved in this community.
Hi Robert, there is a minimum age of 14-17 with parental consent. At that age the racer should have a considerable amount of karting experience. Otherwise 18 and older. www.scca.com/pages/i-want-to-road-race
