Sanctioning Bodies
The Sportscar Vintage Racing Association was founded over 20 years ago with the vision of keeping vintage race cars on race tracks where they belong, and can delight fans just as they did in their heyday.
That vision has become a huge success. Today, fans can watch many of the most significant race cars spanning five decades compete head-to-head on some of North America's greatest race tracks, including Sebring, Elkhart Lake, Mid-Ohio and Watkins Glen.
In HSR, the spectators are treated to prior winners of great events such as the 12 Hours of Sebring, 24 Hours of Le Mans and 24 Hours of Daytona. Events are as educational as they are adrenaline-inducing, as fans are exposed to pieces of history at the track.
