Want to put yourself to the test in 2026? The U.S. Majors Tour® is calling. With more than 30 stops throughout the season, this SCCA® road racing series — part of the Summit Racing Equipment SCCA Road Racing series — travels to some of the best racing circuits America has on tap, while offering racers the chance to battle for glory twice per weekend, potentially win a season-long championship in one of six Conferences, and earn an invitation to the SCCA National Championship Runoffs® Presented by Sunoco along the way.

Racing begins soon, too, with the Southeast Conference hosting the opening Majors weekend on Jan. 2-4 at Homestead-Miami Raceway in Homestead, FL. Still, that’s not the only thing coming down the pike in 2026.

Season Highlights

The U.S. Majors Tour will cover a lot throughout its eight months of racing in the coming year, but there are some race weekends that deserve a special nod.

Nelson Ledges is in on the action for 2026. Located in Garrettsville, OH, this two-mile, 13-turn track has been a favorite of racers since its construction in 1958, with drivers like Michael Andretti, Peter Cunningham, and Paul Newman competing there through the years. With Pitt Race ceasing operation, Nelson once again continues the tradition of keeping road racing alive in the Erie tri-state area.

While not commonly known, Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park in Thompson, CT, played host to SCCA’s very first on-track competition. On July 22, 1945, a handful of SCCA members met to run laps around the facility. From there, SCCA began its transformation from a group of car enthusiasts into a motorsports powerhouse that has launched uncountable careers in the racing and automotive industry. For 2026, SCCA’s U.S. Majors Tour weekend at Thompson takes place over Independence Day weekend — even more reason to celebrate!

Finally, and for the very first time, the U.S. Majors Tour (via the Hoosier Racing Tire SCCA Super Tour) travels to Barber Motorsports Park in Leeds, AL. This 2.38-mile, 16-turn track has recently hosted pro series including IndyCar, SRO GT World Challenge America, and SCCA Pro Racing®-sanctioned series like the Trans Am® Series, Formula 4 U.S. Championship, and Formula Regional Americas Championship. A weekend at Barber is one no SCCA racer should miss.

Sure, lying to others is bad, but that doesn’t mean lying to yourself is, too…right? Especially when it comes to cars. And face it, we all lie a little when talking about our automotive projects.

In an article published on the media arm of Hagerty’s website (Hagerty, of course, being the official insurance partner of the SCCA®), author Kyle Smith revealed the six little lies we tell ourselves as car enthusiasts.

Ironically, every single item on his list is true.

“They can be based in all manner of good intentions — from self-preservation to simple blind optimism — but in the end, if we are honest with ourselves, we have to admit that we either don’t know the truth or would rather not face it,” Smith writes. “Think you are better than that? Well, have you told yourself any of these?”

Of the six lies, I deeply identify with: “That’ll fix itself. Or at least not get worse,” “I can skip this gas station, another one will come right up,” and (my personal favorite) “This repair should only take an hour.”

As for that last one, Smith expounds: “Just like how many of us DIY folks are bad at estimating how much we actually spend on our projects, we also grossly underestimate the time we spend with tools in hand, poking and prodding our aging automobile into covering just a few more miles before leaving for the great junkyard in the sky.”

Mark Twain wasn’t wrong when he said there are lies, damned lies, and statistics — but had Samuel Clemens been a car guy, Kyle Smith’s truths about automotive lies would have undoubtedly also made the list.
