The SCCA® U.S. Majors Tour® fosters season-long excitement across six different Conferences thanks to a points-paying competition engaging talented wheel-to-wheel race car drivers around the United States. From Washington to Florida, and Connecticut to Southern California, more than 30 different venues played host in 2025 to these events that were part of the Summit Racing Equipment SCCA Road Racing schedule.
Within each of the six Conferences, points were awarded to the top 20 finishers per class. Winners earned 25 points per race, and 21 points went to runners-up. Points were then doled out to others starting with 18 and descending to a single point for the 20th finisher. Only the best eight finishes within a Conference counted towards a driver’s points total. The number of victories a driver had in the class was then used to break ties where applicable.

Plenty of Tight Competition
Points mattered a lot to those who sought U.S. Majors Tour Championships. This year, there are times when only a few points separated Champions from challengers. One such example is found in the Northeast Conference where Richard Silver won out over Tim Minor in Formula Continental® (FC) by only four points.
The same points spread also had Formula Atlantic® (FA) driver James Blackwell winning in the Western Conference. Blackwell had four points more than John Norton and Mark Nixon, who tied for the runner-up spot. That Conference also saw a close finish in Formula Enterprises® 2 (FE2) with Noah Hambayi grabbing two points more than Tom Hope to earn the title. An even tighter Western Conference finish came to pass in Formula Vee®, where Mark Edwards and Gavin Sweeney both ended up with 135 points. However, Edwards got the top trophy having four victories as compared to Sweeney’s three wins, and Quinn Posner was third only a single point behind the other two.
Competition was equally fierce in the Mid-States Conference. FE2 was won by Eric Wisniewski, who ended up with a three-point advantage over runner-up Darryl Wills and third-place finisher Whitney Strickland. Then in Spec Miata (SM), Eric Perez claimed the Conference Championship by four points over his son, Roman – only three points further back in third was James Beall.
The Southern Conference was a doozy as well. That’s where four points again decided Champions in three different classes. First, you have Michael Kamalian in American Sedan® who claimed victory by four points over runners-up Andy Schniedermeyer and Timothy White. Next, the Conference’s FA battle was won by Brandon Beals who was four points ahead of runner-up Stephen Thomas, and third-place finisher Garrett Vilven was only one more point back. Then lastly, the victory margin for William Trimbur in FC was four points over John Janssen.
There were a couple of even tighter results in the Southern Conference, too. Three points decided Super Touring® Lite (STL), with James Dianto coming out ahead of Charles Mathes. Then a single point made the difference in SM as Logan Stretch took the Championship over Vinnie Meskelis, and Matt Stretch trailed third by one more point.
Of course, we can’t forget about the Southeast Conference where four points again decided the FC season, with the Championship going to Robert Allaer followed by Paul Douglas. STL came down to a two-point spread as Chuck Hines triumphed over Jon Sewell.
Lastly, in the Northern Conference, a whole six points decided the STL season as Jacob Christianson came out ahead of Maxwell Kittleson. Six points was also the deciding factor in GT-2, which was won by Ike Keeler over William Moore.

More Than One Championship for Some
A handful of dedicated sports car drivers managed to claim multiple Conference Championships. The list of those who doubled up on Championships during the 2025 season is as follows:
- Chris Edens, GT3U (Southern Conf./Mid-States Conf.)
- Brian Goodman, Touring 1 (Northeast Conf./Northern Conf.)
- Perry Richardson, Prototype (Southern Conf./Mid-States Conf.)
- Jack Donnellan, Prototype 2 (Southern Conf./Mid-States Conf.)
A few other drivers managed three U.S. Majors Tour Championship trophies as a result of their yearlong journey. Michael McAleenan was one such competitor having claimed GT-1 Championships in the Northeast Conf., Southeast Conf., and the shared Northen Conf. result.
Michael Lewis gathered up three Championships as well, all in the Western Conference, having landed the most points in GT-1, GT3U, and F Production competition. Michael Pettiford achieved the same feat in the Mid-States Conference after amassing the most points in Touring 1, Touring 3, and Touring 4 competition during the season.
Congratulations to all of the 2025 U.S. Majors Tour Champions!
