Some History about the Original Organizers of GAMR – Motor Sports Club of America

I am Looking for information about the Motor Sports Club of America, Inc.

All of my readings and documents gathered to date show that the Motor Sports Club of America (MSCA) was the organizer for the Great American Mountain Rallye Series from 1953-1957.I have not been able to find out much about them; other that the mailing address was NYC during this period. (it, however appears as though they were formed in Boston).

Here is a interesting story that I discovered when I did an on line search. Here is an excerpt that I find truly disturbing; but we must remember this was the 1940’s. I don’t have direct evidence of this policy but am only providing this from the link:”In 1945, the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) had a discriminatory habit, if you didn’t have the right kind of job or were from a low social standing, they would not admit you into the club. They also had an anti-Semitic streak. After being blackballed out of membership to the SCCA because of their Jewish religion, Bob Grier and Larry Kulok (both had jobs in the fashion industry in NY) decided to start their own club – the Motor Sports Club of America (MSCA).

Despite the setback of being excluded from the SCCA, the formation of the MSCA would prove to be an important step in the growth of road racing in the U.S.”https://www.undiscoveredclassics.com/…/motor-sports…/I am disappointed that my response to the post in the article has not received any information form readers.If you know anything else about MSCA; or anyone that was involved please reach out to me. Following is an original pin that someone acquired. Very tasteful, obviously representing an eared knock off hub from a wire wheel.

Thanks!
