One of the most popular amateur racing series in America is the Sports Car Club of America’s Spec Racer Ford. With more than 900 cars built, the Spec Racer Ford is an affordable purpose-built racecar. Even more important, every Spec Racer Ford is identical to all the others. The 1.6-liter Ford engine and six-speed sequential shift manual transmission is sealed at the factory to maintain absolute parity.
Because of the car’s excellent driving dynamics, good safety record, and general economy, Todd Harris of Pro Drive Racing School at PIR uses the Spec Racer Ford as the vehicle to teach racing to aspiring drivers. As the 2016 SCCA national champion in Spec Racer Ford, Harris knows a thing or two about driving these cars.
“If you sign up for a Pro Drive racing school, we can get you into the exact same cars you’re watching on track this weekend, and you can be driving a Spec Racer Ford in a matter of weeks,” Harris says.
