Our Mission
We provide a safe and controlled environment to learn and practice the limits of you and your car's ability. Experienced instructors are available at our events and they are willing to help you, at all levels of driving skill, from first timers on up.
Club Profile
STBR is a region of the Sports Car Club of America. The South Texas Border Region is one of ten regions in the Southwest Division of SCCA which is all of Texas and part of Louisiana and Oklahoma. The STBR was formed in 1953 and our area is South Texas below San Antonio.
So...If you think you have what it takes to beat the clock and your fellow drivers, then show up an SCCA Solo event.
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FAST CAR AND A FAST DRIVER!!!
Club Meetings
The club has regular meetings (see the calendar page) to discuss club business or talk about cars and having fun in cars. Our meetings are typically at Nolan's Poorboys on Airline at Cimarron. Check us out on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 7:00 pm.
Our Events
Autocross (SOLO) - Our premiere event is autocross the first full weekend of each month. Solo is the SCCA brand name for autocross competition. Solo events are driving skill contests that emphasize the driver's ability and the car's handling characteristics. This is accomplished by driving a course that is designated by traffic cones on a low hazard location, such as a parking lot or inactive airstrip. While speeds are no greater than those normally encountered in legal highway driving, the combination of concentration and car feedback creates an adrenaline pumping experience. It is like being in a movie chase scene, only you are holding onto the steering wheel instead of a box of popcorn!
Rallycross - We try to hold rallycross events quarterly. Rallycross is autocross on grass, gravel, or dirt. Rallycross is the most widespread and readily accessible form of extreme dirt motorsport in the Sports Car Club of America, and the perfect place to see if you have what it takes to powerslide your way to victory. Imagine a scaled down version of a rally stage laid out on a non-paved plot of land where the course is delineated by traffic cones instead of trees or rocks. The entry fees and equipment requirements are considerably less than those necessary to enter any other forms of performance rally, so in most locations one need only arrive at event registration with a sound, hardtop vehicle and the entry fee. Many SCCA Regions have helmets to loan and will assist the first time competitor with entering the appropriate class, making their way through technical inspection and finding their way around the course. Best of all, it's great fun!
Our Autocross events are at Waldron Airfield in Flour Bluff, the first full weekend of each month.
Rallycross events are scheduled quarterly at CC Speedway on Flato Road in Corpus Christi.
