NESCCC and NEHA

Post by Rabbit Farmer »

The New England Sports Car Club Council (NESCCC) is the Sports Car Club of Vermont (http://www.SCCV.org), Sports Car Club of New Hampshire (http://www.SCCNH) and the Killington Sports Car Club (http://www.KSCC.org). The NESCCC does not have any event-specific rules, does not govern classing or points, etc., it just deals with insurance, safety, and inter-club relations. The NESCCC was incorporated to bring together the three clubs under a single insurance umbrella.

The New England Hillclimb Association (NEHA) is name that we, the three clubs, call our rules for hillclimbs. In a strict sense, it is not a formal organization, it does not make rules, it does not have members. But, the SCCV, SCCNH and KSCC get together once each year for the NEHA rules meeting and awards banquet (for hillclimb events) and establish the rules for the upcoming hillclimb season. These are the NEHA rules and regulations and are posted on the NEHA website at http://www.Hillclimb.org.

We informally call the grouping of the three clubs NEHA since it just seems easier than remembering NESCCC and NEHA as separate entities.

I’ll post up the NESCCC by-laws when I get home tonight.

Club payment to NEHA to help cover the cost of the annual trophies and banquet.

Each club, for each hillclimb, needs to pay $1.50 to NEHA for each entry at the hillclimb.

Since there are three clubs, each club hosts the annual banquet every three years.


KSCC 2005 season (host in 2006)
SCCNH 2006 season (host in 2007)
SCCV 2007 season (host in 2008)
KSCC 2008 season (host in 2009)
SCCNH 2009 season (host in 2010)
SCCV 2010 season (host in 2011)

KSCC 2020 season (host in 2021) Since there was no 2020 season banquet to host in 2021, KSCC is hosting the 2021 season in 2022. (11/21/2021 edit)
KSCC 2021 season (host in 2022)
