A small group of car enthusiasts formed the Sports Car Club of La Crosse (SCCLaC) in 1957. The sole qualification for membership is an interest in cars; members do not need to own sports cars. The club sponsors many events including rallies, gymkhanas, icekhanas, and social activities. In 1963, a newsletter called “The Upstart” was begun, and the name was later changed to “Der Auspuffer.” The club was incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1965. The organization is still active.
