You can race, but you'll have to get with the SCCA in order to join their event that same weekend. SCCA race licensing and compliance. Its financially infeasible and not prudent for the majority of membership to subsidize a track event benefiting a very small portion of the membership. Track costs and insurance makes it cost prohibitive. Individual racers can get with the SCCA and race that weekend. 

This will be a great event not to be missed.
