The founders of the SCCA didn’t intend it as a racing organization 75 years ago.

The club’s founders at least decided on a rather open-ended definition of sports car: “any quality car which was built primarily for sports motoring as opposed to mere transportation.

Therefore the Marauder = a sports car!!

FYI: The SCCA origination is 75 this year and one of the planned stops for the Fall Fun Run.
