The Southeast Division (SEDiv) has the premier regional racing series in SCCA, the South Atlantic Road Racing Series (SARRC). All races marked SARRC on the SEDiv schedule are SARRC point events. It is not necessary to join the series. Drivers whose region of record is one of the SEDiv regions automatically receive SARRC points. SARRC points are different from National points in that we award the race winner 24 points, second is 20 points, third is 17 points, fourth is 15 points, fifth is 14 points and so forth down to 1 point for eighteenth position. Drivers can count their best 6 races from the regular season races.
The final race of the SARRC season is the SARRC Invitational Challenge (SIC) which is scheduled for October 10th, 2009 at Roebling Road. This is a double point race and those points are added to the regular season points to determine the SARRC Champion. The SIC is an invitation only race and is open to drivers who have finished three races in the class in which they wish compete. In 2009, the SARRC Committee will allow any driver who has entered and competed at 3 SARRC races to enter the SIC in the same class. In addition, we will also allow any out of Division driver who meets these same criteria to compete. We realize that the current economy may force some drivers to cut back and we want to make it possible for as many drivers as possible to join us at the SIC. The SIC entry form will be on the SARRC website soon after August 1st.
Another way that SARRC benefits the SEDiv drivers is by providing a number of Double SARRC events. Double SARRC races are two points races scheduled on the same weekend at the same track. In 2009, Double SARRC races are scheduled at Palm Beach International Raceway, Road Atlanta, Daytona, Roebling Road, VIR, Carolina Motorsports Park, Nashville Speedway and Barber Motorsports Park. By picking any three of these events, a driver can get their 6 races and be ready for the SIC. The SARRC season ends with the SIC but begins immediately after the SIC so the series runs year round.
The SARRC Champion receives a paid invitation to the SEDiv Awards banquet for two held in January at Jekyll Island. Awards presented include a monogrammed jacket, t shirts, hats, decals, patches, a plaque and a gear bag. Drivers who finish in second and third in classes with less than 100 entries and in fourth, fifth and sixth for classes with more than 100 entries receive a plaque and one paid invitation to the awards banquet. This past January 17th, 45 SARRC drivers attended the banquet where they received their awards.
All SCCA GCR classes and SEDiv Regional only classes are eligible for the SARRC Championship. SARRC points and rules are posted on the SARRC website at www.sedivracing.org. This website is sponsored by the SARRC series and provides information such as contacts, schedule and much more for all the SEDiv drivers and series.
Each year, SARRC has over 4000 total entries in the 25 race series. We invite you to join us for the best regional racing in SCCA. And when you qualify, join us at the SIC for the best regional race in the SCCA. For information, contact Jim Creighton at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
