Inside the SCCA: What's ahead for Hill Climb and Road Rally

In a special three-part Inside the SCCA series, host Brian Bielanski sits down with SCCA VP of Experiential Programs Heyward Wagner for a deep, candid dive into the club’s “street car first” programs – Hill Climb, Road Rally, Track Night, Time Trials, and Solo.

In this first installment, Brian and Heyward talk about the soul of grassroots motorsports – how SCCA connects everyday enthusiasts to dream events like Pikes Peak and Baja 1000, why hill climb events are booming, and how SCCA events fuel local communities across America.
