  • The 2023 #SCCA Runoffs, sometimes referred to as The Olympics of Amateur Road Racing, is the championship race week for 25 classes of the Sports Car Club of America. Take a walk with Mike Joy around the paddock of Virginia International Raceway (VIR) as he shows you a melting pot of racecars and a variety of ways you can get on track for budgets both big and small. Thanks for stopping by Joy Riding

    I'm loving this! We should post this on SCCA's web page for all to see; I'm sharing it on our New England TNIA page!
    I love your continuing enthusiasm for the SCCA. Maybe see you in an SRF3 in New England soon...? We're hosting a Regional at TSMP on the 13th... ;)

    Great presentation Mike. I’m saving watching ALL the Run Off vids at VIR for THANKSGIVING Day.

    You've always been a big supporter of SCCA and I remember you presenting me with my class winning trophy many years ago. Also enjoyed you at NHIS driving a spec. racer. Then you drove my new Corvette as someone had locked the keys in the pace car. So you drove my new C4 Corvette and rode shotgun. What a blast that was.

    Thanks for making this video mike. I have competed in several track night in America events this season. Im currently driving my 2019 vw jetta with the cam 2 graphic package with Janet Guthrie's #68 and name on the car as a tribute to her. I enjoy watching you cover NASCAR and other auto events.

      It was actually Ken Squier that became Chris Economaki's successor before Mike Joy became the next one.

    Thanks Mike. I started racing 50+ years ago, also in a Bugeye Sprite. Still follow H production.

    We started in 1980's SCCA class SS/C in a German built Ford Fiesta. We made the run offs our 2nd year. We ended our racing in AS with a Datsun 280zx that was built by Holman Moody!!! Car was heavy but maybe the safest AS car on the track!!!! Thanks

    I may not be an ameteur racer, but I have taken a few corners too fast in my Firebird.
