The SCCA National Championship Runoffs has evolved into what is now commonly agreed to be the pinnacle of American motorsports. Since 1964, the SCCA has crowned Road Racing’s National Champions at the winner-take-all, single race Runoffs format through dozens of separate races over three days. The 56th annual Runoffs took place in 2019 at VIRginia International Raceway. It was the first time SCCA’s National Championship visited that venue found along the border of North Carolina and Virginia.


With broadcasts presented by Mazda, all 2019 Runoffs races from VIR are available for online viewing anytime at the 2019 SCCA Runoffs OnDemand webpage at SCCA.com.

Oregon Region’s Cindi and Fred Lux have had a storybook career in racing, culminating in the last several years with participation in the SCCA Pro Racing Trans-Am series. Cindi is well-known in her Dodge Viper, and Fred for his genius in development and at-track support.


For those considering a jump to pro racing, Lux Performance Group has opportunities for arrive-and-drive service in the Trans-Am series, and also for local car development and driver coaching services.


“We don’t rent cars,” Lux says. “They come in with their own cars. Then they show up with a helmet and we do everything else in between.”


The team is open to bringing on partners with any selection of vehicle.


“People associate us with Dodge,” Lux says, “but we’re happy to work with any brand, from Ferrari to Porsche – anything, really.”


Lux also offers more local services for club racers.


“We’ve been approached to provide trackside services for local guys,” Lux says, “and we can do that, too. We don’t usually do one-day things, but if someone’s in a bind and needs support at the track, we can do that.”


Additionally, Lux offers services like car development, where she will drive the client’s car on a test day and issue a report with recommendations to improve handling and overall performance. Driver coaching is also a specialty, as Lux has trained hundreds of drivers for both street and racing performance.
