A more beautiful three days of picturesque fall weather couldn’t have been had in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin for the 57th running of SCCA’s National Championship Runoffs® October 9-11 at Road America. The 4.048-mile, 14-turn circuit produced a ton of great racing for 577 entrants who competed across 26 different car classes, and several memorable moments were created. Highlights included six drivers who managed to claim SCCA Super Sweep honors, rookie Runoffs attendees who grabbed victory on their first time out, a couple father-son duos who shared podium appearances, and one driver who managed two National Championships.
Start planning now for the 58th annual National Championship Runoffs being held Sept. 25-Oct. 3, 2021, at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. That will be only the second time in history SCCA has conducted its end-of-year, winner-take-all extravaganza at the fabled circuit.
Shortly, on-demand videos from each race will be available to watch for free at SCCA.com. But in the meantime, below are written recaps for each of this year’s 26 races.
