Would you like to find out what it is like to do what Scott Sharp, Paul Newman, Michael Andretti, Bobby Rahal, Bobby Archer, Danny Sullivan and many other famous racing drivers did when they first started their careers? They all started as SCCA club racers and you can, too.
To begin, you must first become a member of a local region of the Sports Car Club of America (in this case, the Texas Region). Then you must go through the required driver training program to whatever level of road racing you want to attain. The license steps are novice, regional, and national. Should you so desire, you can even go on to the pro racing level.
Names like Al Unser, Jim Hall, Roger Penske, Dan Gurney, A. J. Foyt and everyone you have heard of in U.S. road racing is or has been a driver in the SCCA. Why not you? It¡¯s easy to get started.

Workers & Officials
Getting involved as a worker or official is as easy as going to a local event and volunteering to help. Workers are issued a license just like the competition drivers, and can work their way up through the four levels of licenses by participating at different events and gaining the knowledge and experience necessary to hold a national specialty license. SCCA licensed workers help staff most of the motorsport events held in the United States in one capacity or another.

Driver Safety
Beginning January 1, 2012 the SCCA will require all Club Racing drivers to use SFI 38.1 or FIA 8858 approved head and neck restraint devices.
There are standards for Head and Neck Restraints, (H&NR). It is important to get a proper fitting device. Some H&NR devices are designed for most upright applications, including the majority of sedans and sports cars. Other types fit most reclined applications, including formula cars and sports racers. So don't just think you can show up at the track in 2012 and barrow your friends equipment. What they have may not be what you need.
The time is now to get your gear ready so it works with your other equipment in the car such as your helmet, seat, and belts.
