Cal Club

What Cal Club does

Cal Club is a Southern California regional motorsports organization and a member region of the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) within the Southern Pacific Division. It operates as a nonprofit membership-based racing club whose primary function is to organize and sanction SCCA road racing events and non-competitive track days (PDX), primarily held at Buttonwillow Raceway Park. The organization serves two principal participant groups: competitive racing drivers who hold SCCA competition licenses and unlicensed enthusiasts seeking high-performance driving experiences in a controlled environment, in addition to a secondary volunteer base that supplies specialty race officials (flagging, timing/scoring, tech inspection, medical, pit/grid, sound control, and registration).

Cal Club's core product portfolio centers on wheel-to-wheel road racing events, track day experiences, SCCA competition driver licensing (issued through two accredited schools in the region — Fast Lane Racing School and Allen Berg Motorsports), sponsorship packages for race weekends, and a volunteer race official program that also staffs professional events such as the Long Beach Grand Prix. Distribution is primarily event-driven: members and prospective drivers are acquired through the club website (calclub.com), social media channels (Facebook, Instagram), a recurring newsletter (Cal Club News Blast), and the MotorsportReg online registration platform. SCCA national membership is a prerequisite for participation, making the club a regional channel within the broader SCCA network.

The organization generates revenue from two principal streams: race event entry fees processed via MotorsportReg and sponsorship packages covering race weekend naming rights, volunteer worker lunches, socials, trophies, and branded merchandise. Pricing for both entry fees and sponsorship tiers is not publicly disclosed; contact is via phone (661-304-9382) or email ([email protected]). Cal Club is staffed entirely by volunteers with no disclosed paid headcount, and the organization is not the subject of any external funding rounds or investment activity.
