Kimberly Cup

Recognizing outstanding improvement and achievements during the SCCA Road Racing season, it’s rarely easy to select the Kimberly Cup winner, but thanks to a season-long performance that shined from his first race of the year to the 2024 Runoffs, Wichita Region’s Tyler Ladd was the obvious choice.

Joining the Club in 2017, the 28-year-old racer is not new to the SCCA, but his racing program stepped up significantly in 2024 when he acquired and began racing an E Production race car with a proven record. Ladd went four-for-four during the 2024 Hoosier Racing Tire SCCA Super Tour season (ultimately winning that title) and won Runoffs gold in an impressive flag-to-flag victory. In Ladd’s hands it was the 5th consecutive EP victory at the Runoffs for the BMW Z3 originally built and raced by Jesse Prather, who won EP three times at the Runoffs (2020-22) before passing it to Greg Ira who took it to victory in 2023. Combined with the U.S. Majors Tour® Southern Conference title he also earned, Ladd was one of only two road racers to win SCCA’s Super Sweep in 2024.

Now he adds the 2024 Kimberly Cup to his trophy shelf.

SCCA is sad to bring you the news of Mike West’s passing. His commitment to motorsports and the Club was astounding and will always be appreciated. He will be dearly missed.

In addition to the SCCA National Awards Mike has received — David Morrell Award for stewards (2006) and the SCCA Worker of the Year (2022) — Mike also received Midwest Division’s highest honor, the England-Stipe Award, in 2007. Mike has served the division as executive steward, race director, certified track reviewer and driver coach, among other accomplishments, for both road racing and time trials. He was a sometime racer himself in Spec Miata.

Fun fact: Ladd’s BMW Z3 was originally built by Jesse Prather, who won the EP national championship in it at the 2020, 2021 and 2022 Runoffs. Then he sold it to Greg Ira who raced it to the 2023 Runoffs victory. Ira sold it to Ladd, who drove it to this year’s Runoffs win. That’s five consecutive championships in the Prather-built car.

Three MiDiv RallyCross drivers turned in a winning drive at the SCCA RallyCross Nationals in Hollytree, AL, Oct. 18-20,
• Donald Carl, NeOkla Region, won Stock FWD in his 2024 Volkswagen Golf GTI by a 2.585 sec margin after 11 laps of the Hollytree Off-Road Park. It’s his second win.
• Mark Hill, Kansas Region, won Prepared AWD for a fifth time in his 2006 Mitsubishi Evo IX. Despite pylon penalties on seven of his 11 laps, he racked up a 32.450 sec victory, the widest winning margin of the event.
• Mark Macoubrie, Kansas City Region, won Modified AWD in his 2005 Subaru WRX STi, holding a 0.347 sec margin in the tightest contest of the weekend. It’s championship No. 3 for Macoubrie.
