Formed in 2000, the SRRC has had several people involved in it’s
conception and development. Based loosely on the previous
organizing body, the Island Motorcycle Racing Association
(IMRA), the SRRC had a new track layout to race on. The IMRA
club used the standard tri-oval track from 1992, until a bad
accident into the concrete wall in 1996 forced the racing
of motorcycles to be cancelled indefinitely due to safety
concerns.
Later that same year the track started construction of a short
drag strip. The drag strip run off connects the straight away
to the dogleg section of the track, which could allow motorcycles
to use the run off section instead of turn 4, which would
alleviate heading towards the wall along the front straight.
By the end of 1999, there were enough riders and interested
volunteers to organize a club again. With different champions
almost every year, the SRRC provides close racing at an easily
accessible level.
The series has seen some well-known racers since 1992, with
top Westwood Pro racers like Darryl Fletcher and John Schwarze.
