I think you can expect a good turnout for Peru.

Speedway Motors Announces 2015 Classic American Muscle Challenge
Speedway Motors is building on the success of the new SCCA® Classic American Muscle (CAM) class to introduce the 2015 Speedway Motors CAM Challenge.
The 2015 Speedway Motors CAM Challenge will consist of three autocross events across the country, kicking off with a western regional event on March 6-8 at Crows Landing near San Francisco. This will be followed by an eastern regional on August 7-9 at Grissom Air Force Base near Indianapolis, and then the Invitational Championship event on September 4-6 at the Tire Rack SCCA Solo® National Championships in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Each CAM Challenge event will run the three SCCA CAM classes, with the first two events using the SCCA Match Tour format to determine class winners and an overall winner. The top two drivers in each class at the regional events will earn invitations to the Championship in Lincoln, which will use the SCCA Pro-Solo® format to determine class and overall champions. The top finishing CAM-T or CAM-S drivers at each of the three events will get invitations to compete at the Goodguys AutoCross Finals November 20-21 in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The SCCA CAM classes are designed for both traditional and contemporary American muscle car sedans and coupes with front-engine, rear-wheel-drive configuration, along with classic American sports cars from the ’60s and ’70s. Cars must be street legal, licensed and insured, have interiors, and use 200 tread wear street tires. There are no restrictions on engines and drivetrains.
“We are pleased that Speedway Motors has decided to create the CAM Challenge specifically designed for muscle cars and that these exciting events will be powered by the SCCA’s rules and administration,” said Raleigh Boreen, SCCA Region Development Manager. “SCCA also provides CAM enthusiasts opportunities to autocross locally at over 1000 Solo events nationwide.”

Speedway Motors President Clay Smith echoed Boreen’s enthusiasm. “It’s exciting for Speedway Motors to present the 2015 CAM Challenge,” Smith said. “These events align perfectly with Speedway’s longtime commitment to racing safety, our involvement in autocross competition, and our expanding line of muscle car performance parts. We look forward to working with SCCA to stage this focused series of special events.”

Thanks Donnie! There it is folks. Hope it's something all of you will enjoy and support. As for the Eastern Challenge event, my Region is hosting and I'll be working hard to make this event even more unique and fun. My folks enjoy putting on great events and shows and I promise you'll get maximum enjoyment from your experience. Now to get to work!

No change for me. The next closest event for me is Lincoln NE at 9hrs and I have to be invited for that one. I wish them success in these events so that perhaps they can expand the series the next year.

Raleigh and the guys tried really hard to avoid that but it was impossible and get all the other pieces for the event together.

I would, but I've already punched my card to be in San Bernardino area for the 2 weekends after the Crows Landing event. (Muscle Car Nat's and NMCA).
The other half requests to sleep in his own bed at least 2 weekends a month. (He's currently working M-Th in Santa Rosa, Ca). Since he pays most of the bills, I gotta keep him happy... ;)

Like Chris, the closest event is Lincoln at 5hrs. I do wish SCCA luck with the CAM classes. Kind of surprised that a national series( challenge) is only having 2 events then the invite. Seems like you have to have $$$$$$ to compete. Hitting both events that are about 2000 miles apart, plus expenses. But they know best.

I really don't think SCCA expects anyone to attend both non invitational events.

I'll be at the Indy event with enough trunk space for a sizable trophy. Lol
Should be a ton of affordable fun.
