SCCA National Convention - January 15 - 23, 2026
The 2026 SCCA National Convention will be held virtually January 15-23, 2026 and is FREE to all SCCA Members. More than 1000 SCCA members from around the country participated in last years annual convention. Registration is now open.
For the first time, the convention is presented by the SCCA Foundation.
The SCCA Foundation exists to support the future of motorsports by investing in the people and programs that help SCCA stay strong for the long haul — which makes them the perfect presenting partner for a Convention focused on growth.
This year’s convention theme is "Level Up" — because the best version of the Club doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when Region leaders, volunteers, and members sharpen skills, share what’s working, and bring fresh ideas back home.
You’ve joined us before, so you know the Convention is where we connect, learn, and align on what’s next. We’d love to have you back for Level Up.
See you there,
The Convention Team
There are lots of excellent presentations planned by the SCCA national office staff on subjects pertaining to auto-x (solo), road race, track days, time attack, road rally, rally cross, marketing, insurance, etc. So sign up NOW! by clicking on this ***LINK***

Monthly EIR SCCA Meeting Minutes - Tuesday, February 4
The February monthly EIR meeting was held Tuesday, February 4, at Tommy Vaughn's restaurant in Blackfoot. Due to the weather, there was a small turnout of members, so no official business was conducted or voted on. The following meeting notes were provided by Carl Tyger, Regional Exec:
We announced that next month's meeting will be our designated "Annual Meeting" meaning that we will present year end reports, discuss and vote on event fee changes, and any other operational changes. We are considering a change to the software we use for timing and plan to present and discuss that at the annual meeting.
We made a brief presentation about the next season's schedule. We have solid dates June through August for events at Rigby and Bonneville. We are trying to find other event sites particularly down South to hold some events that would be before or after what is confirmed, but don't have anything solid yet.
We also talked a bit about doing a Street Survival school. While it was not an official vote there was a unanimous agreement by the 8 members present that it would be worth pursuing if we can use it as a tool to access a new event site. That is the angle we have been going for and will continue to pursue. The members present felt there wasn't enough return on our time if a Street Survival school were organized at an event site that we already have. So the board will continue to pursue new event sites with this as an option to help us secure.
