SCCA: Valvoline Runoffs Quick Facts

22 September 2000

DID YOU KNOW?

Roughly 650 top amateur road racers will compete for SCCA National
Championships during 24 races over three days at the Valvoline Runoffs®.
Just to realize the magnitude of the event, consider the following facts:

24 races x 20 laps each = 480 laps of racing for spectators
650 cars x 20 laps = 13,000 total laps if every car completed every race lap
13,000 laps x 2.4 miles (length of track) = 31,200 miles, which is 6,298
miles MORE than the equatorial circumference of the Earth!
650 cars x 15 turns x 20 laps = 195,000 total turns if every car completed
every race lap

These numbers do not even include the laps turned during the four days of
practice and qualifying!
