Road Racing

Waterford Hills road course from the air

There’s nothing like a day, or a weekend, at the races. Members compete and volunteer in road racing events: a competition driving school, Regional races and Majors races. The Detroit Region is also the volunteer backbone of the Detroit Grand Prix, where volunteers get a behind-the-scenes look at an SCCA Pro race weekend.

Competition Driving School at Waterford Hills, April 24-26, 2026

Start racing: Competition Driving School

April 24-26, 2026 at Waterford Hills, Clarkston MI

For over a decade, the DRSCCA and Waterford Hills have been partners in racing, and since 1960 Waterford Hills has hosted a 3-day competition driving school: one day in the classroom and two days on track. Finish the school and you receive your Novice Permit, which lets you race at dozens of tracks across the country, 4 of them within 3 hours of metro Detroit.

Road racing is more affordable than you think: the school is $495 ($445 before Dec. 31st). No race car? Several local rental options fit every budget.
