The SCCA is joining the rolling roadshow game with Targa: A three-day odyssey of sports careful and excitement that will visit tracks, autocross venues and public roads around the Southeast. We get the full scoop from hayward Wagner, SCCA's director of experimental programs.
This sounds awesome, and I hope a bunch of people sign up so it can become a regular thing!!
For those of us that don't do podcasts so much, here's the schedule and description. That does sound pretty fun, although it's more like a super-compressed One Lap of America than a Targa. If there's one close to me, I may just have to take part.

This adventure, conjured up by the SCCA Experiential Department, was created to showcase the SCCA lifestyle across multiple activities. The first ever event will take place Aug. 11-14 at a price of $395 per team, with a meal plan option available.
Hearty souls taking on the Targa first meet at the Charlotte Motor Speedway for a Welcome Party/Check-in Thursday evening before starting bright and early the Friday morning for an Autocross at zMAX Dragway. After the autocross, participants will head over to Charlotte Motor Speedway for a Track Night in America Driven by Tire Rack experience before packing up and heading to Dawsonville, Georgia that evening.
On Saturday, the day opens with a Time Trial at Atlanta Motorsports Park, followed by a Road Rally through the mountains of north Georgia before a Cook-Out/Car Show at a secret location in Kentucky. The final day of driving fun begins Sunday with another Autocross at NCM Motorsports Park, then a TrackCross at the same venue which precedes a trophy presentation to conclude the event.
There are two ways to get involved in SCCA Targa. The first is Targa Competition where teams are slotted into one of seven classes. Those participants are timed, scored, ranked and eligible for awards. The other level of immersion is the Targa Experience. This group will participate in all events, too, but without the hassles and complications of competition.
