Tar Heel Sports Car Club
You Belong Here.
Eastern NC's motorsport community since 1964.
You don't need a race car or experience — just show up. We'll handle the rest.
Find Your Thing
We run a few different ways to enjoy motorsports. Pick what sounds fun. Come to drive, come to learn, or come to help out.
Timed competition in your daily driver
Drive your own car through a technical course laid out with traffic cones in a large paved lot. One car on course at a time, speeds stay under 60 mph, and you get multiple runs to improve.
Great first event — bring your daily driver and we'll walk you through it.
Dirt, gravel, and glory
Timed runs on unpaved surfaces — dirt, gravel, and grass. If you like getting sideways, this is your program.
If you like dirt and sliding around, start here. Any car works.
Indoor grand prix racing
Competitive kart racing at indoor and outdoor venues.
No car needed. Show up and race in identical karts — pure driver skill.
High-performance driving on real tracks
Drive your car on a real racetrack with instruction. Run groups from beginner to advanced, with instructors provided for newer drivers.
Want to drive on a real racetrack? We pair you with an instructor.
Community
Monthly meetings, holiday parties, tech days, and awards banquets. Get to know your fellow club members off the track.
Come hang out even if you're not sure about competing yet.
Community and competition
Competitive sim racing for club members. Sharpen your racecraft from home and compete in organised league events.
Race from home. Great way to meet members before your first live event.
What Members Say
“I joined the club because the events are a safe and sanctioned way to get my adrenaline fix! I joined the club for the love of motorsports, but I stay for the people who share that passion.”
“I first started autocrossing because my friends were doing it, and I stuck around because I found a great community of people who love to safely drive fast too! From pavement to dirt to the sim, there's always someone to drive with!”
“I came looking for seat time and competition. I stayed because the club gave me community, shared memories, and people I genuinely enjoy being around.”
