Vaughan Motorsports is a family racing operation out of Upstate South Carolina. What started with go-karts as kids turned into a lifelong obsession with speed and competition.
After progressing through NASA Spec E30 racing in the Southeast, the team now competes in amateur endurance racing series — some of the most demanding grassroots races in the country.
Every car is built in-house. Every decision is made with one goal: be faster, more reliable, and more prepared than the last time out.
