"What's better than a little octane therapy to make things better?"

We know it's difficult to look back at the devastation that we all endured less than a year ago, but it's important to see how far we've come.

It's just as important to acknowledge and celebrate our fellow members' accomplishments! If you haven't already, check out this video from the SCCA starring your autocross chair.

We've all seen Joe Baker supporting his son, Sammy, in his karting journey, ripping up our courses, but do you know about his own racing? Do you know about the competitive Miata built by him, Cameron Albea , and Justin McKee? With sim racing, autocross, time trials, and endurance racing under their belts, it's safe to say they know a thing or two about racing!

Like many motorsport enthusiasts, it's the thrill that keeps Joe Baker coming back for more. Joe's racing career began in sims and has now extended to the re...

Happy Friday, everyone! Have you seen this Grassroots article about one of OUR members yet?? If not, you should check it out! We have some pretty amazing racers in our humble little group that help make us stand out from other autocross clubs.

Daniel, our vice president, has been racing with us since he could drive! Ever since, he has always lent a helping hand... or four. He's also crazy fast! We've all seen his Miata Kart giving our courses a run for their money, but he performs just as well in the Appalachian Hill Climb series! Just this past weekend, he managed 6th overall at the Dragon Hill Climb. This article goes into depth about his build and what he's achieved with it, so check it out!

We want to celebrate our members and make sure they are seen, so in the future, we will be recognizing more of the awesome people in our club!

Think you need big money to go hillclimbing? Daniel Semon proves otherwise with his $2000 Challenge Miata kart.

Don't forget about our Street Survival School on Sunday, March 16th! We only have 9 more spots left for participants, ages 15 to 21. We will have photography there, as well as Hubcap Coffee and a provided lunch!
This is a wonderful opportunity to prepare young drivers for real-world driving situations by teaching them safe driving techniques, and giving them a better sense of control of their vehicle.
If you know a young driver who could use this school, get them signed up before spots run out!

Attention Junior Kart Families!

It is almost time for a new season to begin. The day series at the Jerry Sutton Training Facility is shaping up to be a fun one. Due to increased attention to our Junior Kart classes, we are going to have an informational Zoom call that will cover most FAQ's, requirements and questions to help our JC kiddos to have the best, safest events possible. We will have a couple of these throughout the season. There will be a requirement to attend one of these informational Zoom calls to begin your journey as a Junior Karting family with Highlands Sports Car Club. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions regarding Junior Karting. Our first call will be March 5th, 2025 at 7:00PM. As we get closer we will post an official link.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon via Zoom and in person!

We’re about 7 weeks out from Tire Rack Street Survival. We are so excited for this opportunity to help teens and young adults learn how to navigate real life driving scenarios in a safe environment. I’m a little jealous that there’s an age limit!

If you know anyone between the ages of 15-21, please look into this! Lunch will be provided and we will have some awesome photographers taking pictures. We’re also planning some super cool demos!

If you would like your child to be involved but finances don’t allow, we have members who are willing to sponsor a child. We don’t want anyone interested to be left out!

Feel free to reach out with any questions!
