For 2025, the Pittsburgh International Race Complex will host the SCCA Time Trials Nationals. Our Ultimate Track Car Challenge, run in conjunction with the Time Trial Nationals, will also make the move to Pitt Race.
Just to be clear, this year’s events will still take place at NCM Motor…
but why?
...so what happened to that 10-year contract NCM & SCCA signed in 2018 that would carry through the 2028 Nats?
I'm interested to know who broke the contract - SCCA or NCM management.
Welp, I've done the last 2 years of the TT National Tour at NCM with the goal of doing Nats in the next few years. So much for that plan...
If you haven't run Pitt Race, here's a preview. It's not the ideal line and its slow, but its a tour of the full track.
Pitt race is a fun track! I have thousands of laps on that track and probably still haven't mastered it.
It's more flowy than NCM. It's probably a bit safer than NCM as well.
I'm not sure that the majority of people affected by this change are going to be happy. I also don't think that making it shorter in duration is a smart move.
I'm really psyched about the move for UTCC--no sound limits will remove a big stumbling block for the big cars, plus Pitt is way better for spectators and has the infrastructure to support a big event.
Honestly, I think Pitt Race is more run to race on, too, but I know that's subjective. I'd definitely argue it's safer.
Awesome track, about 35 mins from my house.

And this lap is truly impressive!
Really late to the game with yet another dumb question... What happened with VIR?
In reply to turboshadow :
I see you're in Cincinnati. PittRace is only a little over an hour further away from Cinci than NCM is.
PittRace has definitely invested in their facility in the last 10 years, and they're not done yet. Was there for the national tour event this weekend, and they've got active construction for new building(s) right now. It has come a long way from when it was BeaveRun.
In reply to Puddy46 :
Yes, it is still an easy enough drive to make but probably not in the cards for me next year. It looks like it’s currently a 1 year deal at the moment, so hopefully they can get something long term worked out.
That is awesome, love pittrace.
