Only SCCA membership is required (the tithe that binds...) Competition
licenses issued by other recognized organizing bodies (including, I
believe, Porsche Club of America and BMW Car Club of America) should be
honored. At least that's the qualifications for our event on the
Sebring 12-hour track this weekend. SCCA allows special dispensation
for Vintage and is willing to forgo the SCCA license requirement at
select events. Still, check at the link indicated in Simon's note
above... Have fun!!!
