SCCA ProRally

Summary

SCCA ProRally was an American rally racing series, run by the Sports Car Club of America from 1973 until 2004.[1] The SCCA discontinued it for 2005, due to concerns about safety and insurance.[2] It allowed Rally America to replace it, utilizing most of the same venues and existing infrastructure.[3]
