Short Course Truck Class
Short Course Trucks (SCT) provide exciting, side-by-side racing that’s fun for all levels of experience. With their wide stance and big bumpers, SCTs are durable, forgiving, and great for close competition.
Car Example
Here’s a lineup of typical SCTs used at SMCC — bold bodies, wide wheelbase, and always ready to race.
