The International Motor Contest Association (IMCA) was organized in 1915 by J. Alex Sloan, and is currently the oldest active auto racing sanctioning body in the United States. IMCA is currently headquartered in Vinton, Iowa, and features several classes and divisions of weekly racing in six geographical regions of the United States. ==History== Sloan, a native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was instrumental in establishing the IMCA and ran more races than all other promoters in the United States combined, all under IMCA sanction. After Sloan's death in 1937 his son, John Sloan, continued to manage the IMCA. Under John Sloan’s leadership, IMCA continued to grow and held its first Late model race on November 9, 1947, in Lubbock, Texas. In the late 1970s, Keith Knaack introduced the IMCA Modified division. In 1996, Kathy Root bought IMCA from Kathryn and Karolyn Knaack. As of January 2015 Brett Root succeeded his mom, Kathy Root to become the IMCA President. Kathy will continue to be involved with IMCA as chair of the executive committee and on a consulting basis. == Classes of cars sectioned by the IMCA == * IMCA Modified – Modified race cars with open wheels in the front and closed wheels in the back * IMCA Latemodel – full-bodied late model race cars * IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Car – traditional non-winged and winged sprint cars * IMCA Stockcar – full-bodied production stock cars * IMCA Hobby Stock – 8-cylinder rear wheel drive entry-level division * IMCA Northern Sportmod – same as modifieds but with smaller engines and more restrictive rules * IMCA Southern Sportmod – Similar to Modified but with full GM Metric Frame * IMCA Sport Compact – 4-cylinder front wheel drive stock cars 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Motor Contest Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
