1965 SCCA National Championship Runoffs

Last updated May 25, 2024

The 1965 American Road Race of Champions was the second running of the SCCA National Championship Runoffs. It took place on 27 and 28 November 1965 at Daytona International Speedway, on 3,1-mile and 1,6-mile courses. Despite the National Championship being cancelled, the ARRC still was not a championship race, as National Championships were awarded to Divisional winners. Most competitive drivers from SCCA's seven divisions were invited to the event.

Changes for 1965

1965 saw several changes in SCCA's class structure.

Formula Libre was split up in Formula A for under-3-litre racing engines and Formula B for 1,6-litre production engines. Formula Junior was now replaced by Formula C for 1,1-litre racing engines.

New cars were homologated for Production classes, including the new Porsche 911. Some other cars were reclassified, for example the Austin-Healey 100-6.

No championships were contested that year as part of the Runoffs, and therefore, ARRC champions were not SCCA National Champions.
