ARCA and the SCCA

edit

The notion that ARCA "became" the SCCA is a misreading of what actually happened. I will work up some more correct language and some proper citations and update this section. The short version is that ARCA shut down for WWII like any other racing organizations, and simply did not revive after the war ended. The Collier brothers and Briggs Cunningham instead joined the new SCCA and influenced the members into converting it into an ARCA replacement. The original founders of the SCCA had no plan to make it a competition organization. see Pete Hylton, The Gentleman's Club
