The racing lineage of the Midwestern Council extends back to 1930 with the founding of the MG Car Club in Abingdon, England. In the early 1950's, the Midwestern Centre of the Overseas MG Car Club linked sub-centuries in Milwaukee, Kenosha, Racine, Chicago, Rockford and Detroit to co-ordinate competition events.

In 1958, the Midwestern Council of Sports Car Clubs was formed. Every year since has seen 10 to 14 wheel-to-wheel race events, several drivers schools, and recently, autocrosses and high speed touring events on the Council schedule.

Safety has always been paramount, and the combination of thorough driver training, tough stewarding and sensible competition has given the group over thirty seasons of fatality-free racing, with serious injury accidents countable on the fingers of one hand.

In 1990, Midwestern Council expanded on this long racing heritage by inviting the cars of its past to return to Midwestern Council events as part of a vintage/historic program.

Midwestern Council Vintage/Historic (MCVH) events are intended to provide the enjoyment of racing the older cars, as opposed to the all out contest for victory.

MCVH racing is designed for sports cars raced before slick racing tires became standard equipment on road racing cars.

MCSCC Vintage Races are competitive events that will be run with safety for the car and driver as foremost considerations. Total control and good sportsmanship are expected at all times.

MCSCC Vintage/Historic Races are open only to drivers holding current racing privileges with MCSCC, SCCA, VSCDA, SVRA, VMC or other approved racing organization. MCSCC may require additional credentials for drivers of certain high powered cars.
