Track Night: Big Numbers, Big Savings, Big Fun

Numbers are boring, amiright? Who cares about statistics when you could be at the track ripping ‘round corners? But numbers can be exciting. For instance, 130 is a thrilling number when you realize that’s the speed you were hitting on the back stretch. And 200? How pumped were you when you moved your braking point from the 300-foot marker to the 200 point? The adrenaline’s probably still pumping from that one. But while those numbers are fun, right now, ‘tis the season – which means the weather says t’ain’t the season for track time. So let’s pause for a moment to look at some of the numbers that arose during the 2023 SCCA® Track Night in America Driven by Tire Rack season.

When we’re done with that, we’ll show you how to save some very important numbers – the ones that are in your bank account – and give you a taste of when Track Night will crank up in 2024.

Numbers That Impress

First, what is Track Night in America? This link will tell you, but in a nutshell, it’s the easiest, most affordable, and funnest (admittedly, that’s not a word, but neither are “amiright” and “t’ain’t”) way for anyone to get on a racetrack in their street car with little more than $170 and a helmet. (Important note: SCCA members save $20 per event, so join now!)

Want to live your dream? Track Night’s the answer. Want numbers to back that statement up? We’ve got ‘em:

9 = The number of years since Track Night in America launched. The first event was held in 2015 at Atlanta Motorsports Park on April 7, 2015.

48 = The total number of tracks Track Night in America has visited throughout the last nine years.

1,128 = How many events has Track Night in America hosted at those 48 tracks? More than 1,000.

70,920 = This is how many entries Track Night in America has welcomed during those 1,128 events.

People Who Make It Happen

Want another number? How about 145. This is how many current Track Night in America team members work events alongside volunteers and Region ambassadors.

These team members come from all walks of life inside the SCCA family. Some are former or current SCCA program competitors, others are leaders in their home Regions, and one is even a former Chairman of the SCCA National Board of Directors.

One thing everyone involved in the organizational side of Track Night has in common is that they love introducing people to the SCCA family and helping them fulfill their dream of having #funwithcars.
