MoHud Event Calendar
Did you know that MoHud maintains an event calendar on Google? It’s currently labeled as the Solo event calendar, but we try to represent as many MoHud events on it as we know about. You can access the MoHud Event Calendar (click the link) on Google. If you have events that should be represented, please contact EJ Smith to have them added.
MoHud: The Documentary
Check out Michael Roselli’s MoHud documentary, a UAlbany film class project. Watch the full 20-minute movie on YouTube full-screen in 1080p, and read about its production here.
Mohawk-Hudson Region (#65) of the Sports Car Club of America (aka “MoHud”) is based in upstate New York’s Capital District, bordering New York Region (downstate), Southern New York Region (along the PA border), Central New York Region (Syracuse – Utica – Rome), Canada, and New England Region (everything east of the NY border).
MoHud members participate in Road Racing, Solo, and Track/Time Trial programs, either as race officials or drivers/entrants. Want to learn how to go racing? Contact our race or membership chairs to receive more information.
Don’t own a dedicated race car? Try our Solo (AutoCross) or Track programs, which allow you to drive your street car on a closed course at speed. Solo events are held in large open parking lots, with one car at a time around a course delineated by traffic cones. You’re timed and grouped with like cars, and there’s always a novice walk-through in the morning and other drivers willing to lend a hand.
Track events and time trials are hosted at famous road courses like Lime Rock Park, Thompson Speedway, and Palmer Motorsports Park, where you’ll get seat time driving full-out on the track in your own vehicle.
For fun on open public roads, try a RoadRally, either “GTA” or “TSD” . GTA (Game, Tour, and Adventure) rallies take place on public roads and require you and your navigator to interpret clues to find your way around a prescribed route. Dinner & awards await you at the end. TSD (Time, Speed, and Distance) rallies take place at legal speeds and follow a carefully plotted course mapped out and distributed the morning of the event — so bring a navigator!
To get started: Read about MoHud, learn how to join, and check out our monthly newsletter the Knock Off. If you’re new and don’t know where to start, contact our membership chair or the chair of the program you’re interested in.
Join the MoHud Facebook pages! Our Facebook group has a lot of discussion activity and is a place to discuss motorsports, MoHud and SCCA events, Solo rules and car life. Our Facebook page is the formal MoHud presence on FB and will have invites to events, links to videos, and other official communication from the region. Please make sure to like and join both!
