First celebrated in 2005, the Sports Car Club of America® Hall of Fame has become the who’s who of American motorsports. From Paul Newman to Phil Hill, Bobby Rahal, Lyn St. James, and more, those who have been inducted into the SCCA Hall of Fame are among the most celebrated and influential in the industry. That’s not to say it’s all about driving skills, with the likes of Dr. Bob Hubbard, Jim Downing, General Curtis E. LeMay, John Bishop, and many others working behind the scenes to ensure motorsports would continue to prosper.
How did these motorsports luminaries earn their place in SCCA’s Hall of Fame? The first step was through their accomplishments and achievements. The second step was having someone like you nominate them for the honor.
Speaking of which, the submission deadline for the SCCA Hall of Fame class of 2026 is June 15, 2025.
Before you click that button, familiarize yourself with the existing list of inductees into the SCCA Hall of Fame. This will give you an idea of the level of involvement in the SCCA and motorsports past inductees have shown. Next, decide who you would like to nominate.
Making a Nomination
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 e-mailing SCCAHoF@scca.com, using the online submission form, or mailing a letter to:
SCCA Hall of Fame
6620 SE Dwight St.
Topeka, KS 66619
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.
