SC The Sports Car Club of America, Inc. (SCCA) announces an exciting partnership with Dragon Publishing to distribute its comprehensive guide to motorsports participation, “Go Ahead – Take the Wheel.” The special SCCA Edition of the book provides step-by-step instructions for racing enthusiasts with aspirations of racing in their own racecar.

Welcome! The Kansas Region of the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) serves, very roughly, the Eastern quarter of Kansas. We have over 300 members, whose principal interest, oddly enough, is tossing mostly small cars around large paved surfaces, or alternatively, watching or helping others do so. The Kansas Region is the home of the SCCA National Headquarters and Heartland Park Topeka. We annually host the Solo II National Championships, the largest participant motorsports event in the world and the Club Racing National Championship Runoffs, commonly referred to as the Olympics of Motorsports. Get off of the sidelines and come join the fun!


All Club Racing events at Heartland Park held in conjunction with:
