[h=2]Inside SportsCar magazine's March issue[/h] Friday, 24 February 2017
SportsCar magazine, the official member magazine of the Sports Car Club of America, has released its March 2017 issue, featuring an in-depth look at the SCCA's own racecar, the Spec Racer Ford produced by SCCA Enterprises. From its release in 1984 through today, SRF (along with the third generation of the racecar dubbed the Gen3) sees participation rivaled only by the ubiquitous Spec Miata – quite a task considering Spec Miata suspension kits have outsold SRF chassis sales three to one. These numbers show the dedication of SRF racers and the durability and reliability of SCCA's Spec Racer.
Also in the issue,
SportsCar dives into one of the best parts of amateur motorsports: contingency offerings. Why do major manufacturers like Mazda, Honda and Mini, along with a slew of tire and other parts manufacturers, pay amateur racers when those racers score top-rank finishes at national-level races? Some of it's marketing, but as
SportsCar's editors discovered, there's often a deeper level of commitment at the source.
Rounding out the issue is an interview with SCCA's Chairman of the Board Lee Hill, discussing everything from SCCA's ongoing presidential search to redefining the Board of Directors' role in the club as a whole.
