Road racing cars on the track. Event organization with volunteer members to provide a safe and exciting racing experience.
The Time Trial program accommodate all types of cars - from street cars to fully-prepared race vehicles. Time Trial events can be competitive events. Track Events are non-competitive events and are designed to concentrate on driver enjoyment and the application of performance driving techniques.
Texas Region rallies are not speed events, but usually run on fun-to-drive roads. Teams are scored on how closely they matched the answers to the questions asked during the event.
Autocross is a contest against the clock. You get 3-5 tries at a different course at each event. Your best time determine how you place.
Out of concern for the health and safety of all and in the interest of ensuring a positive racing experience, the Sunburn Grand Prix – SCCA Majors Event at Eagles Canyon Raceway has been cancelled. Unfortunately, it is not feasible to reschedule a “Majors” Event prior to the September deadline for 2020 points and RunOffs Eligibility.
We anxiously look forward to our Nov 6-8 dates for the Texas Region SCCA Fall Round Up at Eagles Canyon. This will be a Double Regional/Divisional Event. All SCCA cars and drivers are invited and encouraged to join us and celebrate.
Be Safe and Let’s Get Back On Track.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Texas Region SCCA has implemented the following procedure changes.
Details
Due to COVID-19 masks must be worn while at ECR and social distancing must be practiced at all times.
A fire suit must be worn in a caged car.
If you are a members of ECR, please use the discount code of ECRCARES when you register. There is a discount since you are a ECR member.
This event has two options for participation: Time Trials(TT) and Track Experience (TE). TE is similar to HPDE in other groups. It is being run under the 2019 SCCA General Time Trial Level 2 Rules. SCCA Track Experience (TE) will be a lead/follow due to COVID-19 instead of in car instructors. Track Experience is non-competitive – participants do not receive lap times. SCCA Time Trials (TT) events provide a constructive learning environment that stresses proper driving techniques, while at the same time offering lap times.
Here’s What You Get:
Here’s What To Bring:
You will need your SCCA membership card – or tell the folks that you would like to get a temporary membership in order try things out. Sign the waiver form that basically says you are here because you want to be here and you understand the risks (and rewards!). Be sure to introduce yourself to the worker chief and tell him if you have any special requests, like you may want to be a starter, grid, timing and scoring or anything besides a corner worker.
Eligible specialties include:
Things have changed rapidly since my last communication just 5 days ago. Sunday evening the CDC released new guidelines that recommend rescheduling or cancelling any event that has more than 50 people in attendance. Nearly all of our events fall into this size guideline. We are committed to protecting the health of our participants, their families, and the members of the communities where they live and work. We will be rescheduling events in order to do our part to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Events that are immediately impacted:
Autocross School Mar 21
Autocross #2 Mar 22
Children’s Book Rally Apr 4
The new CDC guidelines recommend these event suspensions continue for 8 weeks. If that stays in effect we may have to reschedule additional events. Right now I’m recommending that we only reschedule the events mentioned above and we adopt a wait and see attitude in this dynamic environment. Lots of things are likely to change in the coming weeks.
For anyone who has pre-paid for registration we are offering the option of an event credit or a refund. If you would like the credit there is no need to do anything – we will automatically credit your MotorsportReg account. The credit will be good for this season and next. If you would like a refund let us know by clicking on the LINK to request credit or refund
These are certainly trying times, and we are all in this together. Please do everything you can to keep yourself from becoming infected and from spreading the virus to anyone else.
