It's been a while since I was last at Pocono. Probably about that same time of year, too, but it was for a NASCAR Truck race.

Coast-to-coast, against-the-clock racing action? That’s exactly what the SCCA is offering with its 2026 Time Attack Challenge schedule.
Just as it did this year, the 2026 season kicks off at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, but it's been moved to after Valentine’s Day, on February 21-22.
The series then makes stops at Eagles Canyon Raceway, Thunderhill Raceway Park, Carolina Motorsports Park, Pocono Raceway, Autobahn Country Club, The Ridge Motorsports Park and, lastly, Buttonwillow Raceway Park:

“But what about the Tire Rack SCCA Time Attack National Championship?” you ask following the surprise closure of Pitt Race at the end of this year. "Pitt Race was slated to host the inaugural championship. Now what?"
“We’re working on it,” said SCCA’s manager of National Time Trials, John Hunter. “As soon as we heard the news that Pitt Race would be closing, we instantly started forming a plan. We’ve got some exciting ideas in the works–but the most important thing was to get the rest of the 2026 Time Attack Challenge schedule out there. We’re pumped about next year’s schedule, and we want to make sure everyone had plenty of time to get these events on their calendar.”

Last time I was at Pocono was decades ago for the CMC National Autocross Championship event, sponsored by GRM.
Ask Tim Suddard about CMC. So many stories...
Oof, uh it's looking really light for Mid-west events compared to recent years.
In reply to goingnowherefast :
Yeah, autobahn is about a 5 hour drive for me and everything else on the east is too far. I might try to make it there depending on what the Indy TT schedule looks like, maybe NCM with get Nats?

Well and apparently Nats are in Texas now, so yeah IDK what to do this upcoming season. We (East/Midwesterners) got kind of screwed this year.
