The Sports Car Club of British Columbia Official Website (SCCBC)

WHO can become a member?

Anyone – at any age.

WHAT is membership all about?

It is belonging one of the oldest Sports Car Clubs in North America, the oldest in Canada. Incorporated in 1951 as a non-profit society, the Sports Car Club of British Columbia is dedicated to the encouragement and promotion of motorsport and safe driving in British Columbia. The club is a member of Road Race Sanctioning bodies in Canada and the USA.

Our members are race drivers, crews, event officials, their families & friends, and fans in general. The demographics of race drivers and supporters include professionals, mechanics, tradespersons, office clerks, and students, and ages from 16 to 80 plus. A wide range to be sure. Members attend and vote at monthly meetings, help out at the track, sit on committees, edit the newsletter, assist in web site maintenance, etc.

Over the past several years membership numbers have exceeded 300. About 30 of those have enjoyed the benefits of membership for over 30 years. Family members include Mom, Dad and kids. Many of our drivers are supported at the track by Moms, Dad, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters & grandkids!

WHY belong to the club?

Many drivers join the club because belonging to an affiliated club is a requirement to obtain a racing licence. The majority stay with the club because they enjoy the bench racing as much as the on-track competition. Members find the camaraderie the most rewarding benefit of membership. It is common to find racers helping each other in their endeavour to be faster. The more competition – the better! The club seems to bring out the best in most people. They work harder for the common cause and are rewarded with a better place to race and great friends for a life time.
