Hitting mailboxes right now is SportsCar magazine's January 2017 issue. SportsCar, the official publication of the Sports Car Club of America and sister publication to RACER and RACER.com, follows up its November and December 2016 championship coverage issues by highlighting an SCCA member's journey to the 2016 Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championships this past September. While he'd autocrossed locally, Peter Lindberg decided it was time to head to Lincoln, Neb., for his first time at SCCA's annual National Championship event; his adventure is highlighted in the cover story entitled "The Rookie."
Also in the issue is a feature about what SCCA racers should do to prep for the upcoming competition season. On the list is to check helmet and harness expiration dates, service the fuel cell and perform an engine evaluation via processes like a leak-down test. The magazine also covers skills SCCA racers should acquire during the off-season, like learning to weld, how to mount tires and how to align a car.
Finally, the magazine offers an in-depth look at how to fine-tune a car's handling via the art of swaybar adjustments.
Members of the SCCA receive SportsCar magazine each month as a benefit of SCCA membership. The issue is available in both physical paper form and online through the member login at www.scca.com. Join the SCCA now and read the January 2017 issue of SportsCar tonight.
