USRRC - United States Road Racing Championship
The United States Road Racing Championship (USRRC) was created by the Sports Car Club of America in 1962. It was the first SCCA series for professional racing drivers. For its first three seasons, the series featured both open-topped sports cars and GT cars. Shelby American and Porsche dominated the Over- and Under-2 Liter classes, respectively. The USRRC ran from 1963 until 1968 when it was abandoned in favor of the more successful Can-Am series, which was also run by the SCCA.
From 1963 to 1965 USRRC had some separate GT races that were counted to USRRC Manufacturer Championship. Some of these GT races were run together with main USRRC events but drivers running to Manufacturers Championship couldn't score points.
In 1998 was reintroduced "to make sports car racing in United States more popular". It was nothing else than almost a copy of IMSA/PSCR.
