This is big news.
I am wondering how SCCA's rule structure which as old as dirt can cope with the wild rulebook of GTA (and I presume GL, though I'm not as well versed).
We'll have to wait and see, but I have to admit that I'm not thrilled about the idea of SCCA touching any of what I love about time attack.

Sometimes when you going to have a party you don't want to invite everyone you can think of. Some people are going to make the party a lot less fun for everyone that attends.

For now, the three series will combine to form a sort of competitive ladder, with the relatively low-stress SCCA Time Trial Regional events at the entry level and Global Time Attack’s wildly-winged unlimited classes at the top. Competitors will be able to rely on advice and assistance from each sanction as they climb that ladder.

If anyone thinks that Time Attack is going to bend to the class rules of SCCA or SCCA solo style stuff, they are wrong. I'm not scared about that at all.
The bonuses that GTA gets from SCCA coming to the table is the ability to make a licensing program, widen their scope for recruiting drivers, as well as using the SCCA safety regulations as a backbone to build a new set of CCR's for the series.
I think that Gridlife wants to keep moving in the direction of "Track Battles" and possibly wheel to wheel racing with more of a festival format with big concerts and stuff. GTA will be the go to for traditional time attack for serious competitors with three big events per year (RA, NJ, BW), Super Lap Battle USA will be "the Superbowl" of TA, and SCCA will likely be making an attempt to step into NASA's time trial territory is my guess. All have their own purposes and all can benefit from working with each other instead of against each other. I'm excited to say the least and don't have any fear for the "integrity" of GTA being compromised especially with a real OG and true enthusiast like Jason at the helm.
