(Looking for an inside line on the Club? “Inside the SCCA” is a podcast that features interviews with the Club’s leading personalities, but it’s not owned by SCCA®. Instead, it’s an independent media outlet managed by Rule 15 Productions and hosted by longtime SCCA member and journalist Brian Bielanski. He uses the Club’s name with permission.)
SCCA’s Manager of National Time Trials John Hunter is the guest on this week’s episode of the Inside the SCCA presented by RaceSchool.com podcast. The Club’s Time Trials program has evolved through the years, and continues to evolve with the introduction of the Tire Rack SCCA® Time Attack Challenge series. Hunter explains why the new name is an important shift for the program, then he discusses what it takes to get on track in the Time Attack series. If you’ve ever wanted to compete on track in your street car, this episode is a must watch.

The list could go on and on, as the SCCA Hall of Fame broke the 120-person mark with the class of 2025 when Raleigh and Velma Boreen, Miles and Sam Collier, Bob Dowie, Alex Keller, and Ken Miles were inducted.
Now, it’s time to decide who will join the SCCA Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2026 — and we need your help.
Check out who’s been inducted over the last 21 years by clicking here. After perusing that list of past inductees, the next step is for YOU to nominate someone for the honor.
Making a Nomination
The SCCA Hall of Fame preserves, protects, and records the history and accomplishments of the Club for current and future members by recognizing those who have had a significant impact on the Club and the sport. This may be through service to the National organization, achievements in competition, advancement of the sport, or bringing recognition to the SCCA that inspires enthusiasts to seek out and become SCCA members.
Submissions for the SCCA Hall of Fame should be approximately two pages in length and summarize the nominee’s background and reasons for consideration. The goal should be to help the SCCA Hall of Fame Nomination, Legacy, and Selection Committees understand why and how the nominee was impactful. Those submissions should paint a picture as to why their nominee should be considered for induction into the SCCA Hall of Fame.
Where possible, please include when the nominee joined the SCCA, the nominee’s Region affiliation, and the offices held or accomplishments of the nominee. It is also important to note how the nominee shaped SCCA as a National organization.
Here’s everything you need to know about making a great SCCA Hall of Fame submission.
Nominations must be submitted by the June 15, 2025, deadline by either e-mailing [email protected], mailing a letter to SCCA Hall of Fame, 6620 SE Dwight St., Topeka, KS 66619, or using the online submission form.
Those submitting nominations for any member should include their own e-mail address, phone number, or mailing address in case they need to be contacted for more information about a nominee. And while the deadline for the 2025 SCCA Hall of Fame is approaching, members are encouraged to submit nominations throughout the year, regardless of the deadline.
Also, multiple independent nominations for a candidate will gladly be accepted, and while past nominations are always considered, it never hurts to nominate someone again even if they’ve been nominated in the past but not selected to join the SCCA Hall of Fame.
This is a chance for SCCA members to leave a permanent mark on the Club by being the one responsible for nominating a member for SCCA’s Hall of Fame.
