Welcome to SVRA

Setting the New Standard in Vintage Racing - As the only national organization in Vintage Racing, SVRA is firmly committed to presenting the best possible experience for our drivers, fans and sponsors.

From 200MPH F-1 cars to the classic beauty of Bugattis and Ferraris, it’s all on the track with Sportscar Vintage Racing Association (SVRA). We call the major tracks of the United States home – Watkins Glen, Mid-Ohio, Virginia International Raceway, Sebring, Road America ... Vintage racing at it’s best with one of the founding organizations of the sport.

SVRA provides a complete racing weekend for almost any type of vintage race car. From the minute you become an SVRA Member, we treat you with the courtesy and respect you deserve as a vintage race car owner and driver. Plus, our goal is to share equally in the fun of the racing weekend.

There is something pure about seeing a racing Ferrari in action, or a Shelby GT350 blasting down a straightway. Yes, these cars look gorgeous standing still, even in a museum. However, rest assured that the likes of Enzo Ferrari and Carroll Shelby would much rather see their creations raced as intended, and that is what the SVRA is all about.

  • Sebring vintage Lotus 61 6/17

  • OK here is the horses mouth IMSA. See my note below.
    Sirs:
    I was deeply disappointed to see that after many years of traditionally including Historic/Vintage racing on the 12 Hour schedule, they are not included.
    I have for many years driven those support races as well as taken part in the downtown faux tech and drivers parties at the Sebring center.
    I have seen fans very supportive of being able to see the older cars off of the mainstream. They usually mention "I use to own one of those". Once after a spin they offered me food and drink at the fence. They definitely come out for more than just the "Big Show", they also enjoy the opening acts. For some, Sebring 12 Hours is the only race they will attend. It is there yearly vacation.
    The drivers as well appreciate the opportunity to race in front of such a large crowd, many who may not have the chance to witness the older cars anywhere else.
    For me the Historics were my one "Fun" race after a season of serious racing elsewhere. A chance to be a participant in a big show, not just a busy owner/driver chasing a podium finish.
    I have talked to many fans and drivers on many different websites that are very upset with this  development.  They wonder just when IMSA started to forget about the racers and the fans in exchange for a better financial arrangement. It's been said all IMSA cares about is the money. If this is so, I will be happy to launch a worldwide boycott of IMSA events throughout the internet. Perhaps the loss of that income will prod you into reconsideration of a very bad decision. It's going to be a long year.
    Regards, D.C.Fresch
    I will be sending this out as well as flooding websites with it.
    If this means anything to you at all. I suggest you use my note as a template and send IMSA a missive declaring your displeasure and intention to boycott the events.
    This has been degrading since the end of ALMS.

  • Hello fellow race fans,

    Give me a shout if you have any questions.

    thanks a ton,

    Mark

  • Stephen, Thanks for the invite. My job keeps me on the road all the time but I do read Vintage racing mag and Motorsport mag to keep in contact with the sport. Crewed at Sebring last year. Web sites like this keep me in touch with real people. Good Luck

  • Stephen, hope all is well.  Thanks for the invitation.  I'm hoping to get out to COTA this weekend or next.  I'm photographing lots of fall sports right now.  

    Warm Regards,

    Rick

  • Thanks for the invitation.  I'm happy to support any group that will tolerate open wheel cars.  SVRA has been good to me and other open wheel owners in the past.

  • Thank you for the invitation Steven. I hope to meet you at either the Daytona, Sebring this year. I'll be competing in one, or both, of the HSR Endurance Race events.

  • I attended my first vintage race way back in 1970, at Crystal Palace, near London. I'd just been transferred from New York to be creative director of the European Accounts Group (which included Ford of Europe) for the J. Walter Thompson ad agency. As a road racing fan I was delighted to be in the heart of the action and when I learned of a vintage race nearby I gathered up my 10-year son and headed for the track. We lived around the corner from Victoria Station, which made it possible to go by train (Crystal Palace had its own station close to the track), thereby circumventing all the usual traffic jams. What I also remember fondly is the speed of those old cars, the wheel-to-wheel competition, and the talent of a guy appropriately named Neil Corner.

  • Thanks for the invite.  Am researching options to race.  Will download the application and the medical forms.

     

    Thanks
