2025 Tire Rack SCCA Time Attack Challenge at Pocono Raceway

Get ready for an unforgettable weekend at Pocono Raceway, the iconic venue nestled in the scenic Pocono Mountains, renowned for hosting NASCAR, IndyCar, and the legendary Race of Champions. On July 19th-20th, the SCCA Time Attack Challenge Series takes over this historic track—but with a twist. While we won’t be using the super speedway "oval," the action shifts to the thrilling and technical road course layouts, including the 2.24-mile, 10-turn road circuit that’s challenged even the most exotic sports cars, from IMSA GTP beasts to modern track machines

Whether you're chasing personal bests or gunning for the glory of a lap record, this is your chance to carve your name into Time Attack history. And with this being just the second trip to Pocono for the National Time Trials program, the odds of setting a brand-new record are sky-high. Can you seize the moment? Check out the Track Records and Personal Bests webpage to see where you stand—or set the bar yourself!

But the fun doesn’t stop when the checkered flag drops. On-site camping at Pocono isn’t just available—it’s highly recommended! When the engines go silent, the good times keep rolling. Swap stories, celebrating epic laps or commiserating over the perfect lap that could have been—all under the stars in the heart of the Poconos. This is your chance to connect with fellow racers, build lasting memories, and immerse yourself in the spirit of the Time Attack community.

Don’t miss out on the excitement, camaraderie, and the opportunity to leave your mark on The Tricky Triangle! Sign up now and make it a weekend to remember.
