These two Austin Mini Cooper S racing cars, based in Fort Worth, Texas, dominated the SCCA C Sedan class for the first three years of its existence, competed in the Trans-Am and even went endurance racing!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The SCCA, previously enamored of \u201cproper\u201d sports cars (with a few formula cars thrown in for amusement), caught the sedan bug big time in 1966. Starting in 1964, the arrival of the first wave of hot sedans with sporting pretensions had caused race promoters across America to promote standalone races for these newcomers, based on their wide appeal among new car buyers. The SCCA was watching, and decided to get in on the fun! The SCCA not only laid out regs for four member-level sedan classes, but added the Trans-Am pro series as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n        .memberful-global-teaser-content p:last-child{\n            -webkit-mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n            mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n        }\n    <\/style>\n<div class='memberful-global-marketing-content'>\n<div class=\"a07online-global-marketing-content-wrapper\">\n<h2 class=\"a07online-global-marketing-title\">No Subscription?
