The Washington DC Region of the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) announces it’s first ever 3 day, Double Certificate Club Racing Drivers School in honor of its 50th Anniversary of teaching street drivers to race.  This special event, to be held at the Summit Point Raceway, Summit Point, West Virginia, March 19-21, 2010, enables a student with no previous SCCA racing experience to complete the drivers school requirements to start road racing with the SCCA.  The SCCA is a nationwide amateur sports car club (www.scca.com) that promotes amateur motorsports including solo (autocross), road rally, club racing, and pro racing.

The Washington DC Region covers the metropolitan DC area and is part of the Northeast Division, one of 9 Divisions within the SCCA.  The Region history dates back to 1944, when it was the first established Region of the SCCA.  In the early years, the Region held events at Marlboro Raceway in Upper Marlboro, MD.  The last event at Marlboro was in late 1969, after which, the Region moved it’s racing events to the newly built Summit Point Raceway.

Throughout the years of holding Driving Schools, the Region has taught some now famous race car drivers including, Michael Andretti, Mark Donohue, Dan Gurney, Janet Guthrie, Jimmie Johnson, and Bob Tullius.
