By "SCCA" do you mean "SCCA Solo II" or "autocross"? Hell yeah, that's cheaper. Also not at all the same thing.

If you're talking about SCCA road racing. No, it's not cheaper. You'll spend more money preparing a car to their more stringent standards, you'll pay more to attend their driver schools to get your racing license, you'll pay more to enter their races, and the typical race weekend will consist of a few 20-minute sprint races, or maybe a 2-hour enduro...

Nothing against SCCA or NASA or any of the other racing clubs... but this is way cheaper and it's quite a different experience.
