SCCA National Championship Runoffs Preview

SCCA's championship Club Racing event returns to Daytona International Speedway for the first time in 46 years.

The 2015 SCCA National Championship Runoffs returns to Daytona International Speedway this week, visiting the storied track for the first time since 1969. While much has changed in the interim, the Runoffs is still the biggest club racing event in the country with nearly 600 racers competing in 28 classes. Naturally, a large portion of those will be in Mazdas; more than 10 percent of the total entry is in Spec Miata alone, with 63 entrants.

Mazdas, from RX-3s to RX-7s to Miatas of all eras and the Mazda2, will be represented in a number of other classes as well, such as E and F Production, B-Spec, Touring 4, GT-3, GT-Lite and Super Touring Under, plus others. In addition, Mazda engines will be powering all the Formula Mazdas and some of the Formula Atlantic, Prototype 1 and Prototype 2 cars as well. There will even be Mazdas pacing the field – look for the new ND MX-5 to provide pace car duties.
