⭐️Kansas Region announces autocross series at Heartland Park

Kansas Region, which has been yearning for a motorsports site since Heartland Park closed in 2923, has announced a new five-event autocross series at Darana-Heartland Motorsports Park.
The renaming comes as a result of the International Hot Rod Association’s purchase of the facility last December. Kansas Region RE Adam Pessetto posted the following in an email sent through MotorsportsReg.com Tuesday evening (May 12):

We’re excited to announce a BRAND NEW autocross series coming to Heartland Motorsports Park — and this isn’t your typical parking lot autocross…
We’ll be autocrossing ON THE ROAD COURSE!
The current plan is to start near Alpha (end of the front straight) and run through to around Turn 7, creating a unique autocross experience you won’t want to miss.
We’re still working through logistics and final course layouts, so more details are coming soon — but we wanted to get the dates out NOW so everyone can get them on the calendar!
2026 Event Dates:
• June 27
• July 25 and/or 26
• August 1
• September 19
• October 17 and/or 18
This is being planned as a SERIES event, not just a regional event. Classing and rules are expected to closely follow the Midiv Solo Series format.
Season trophies are planned and will be awarded to SCCA members at the end of the season (February / March 2027).
If you’ve ever wanted to experience autocross on an actual race track, this is your chance. More information, registration details, and course updates will be released soon.
Start making plans now — this is going to be something special !
Please try to follow us on our Facebook page as we will posting updates there. I will be sending additional email once details are finalized (1st of June) when we open up registrations.

Mark Macoubrie, Brad Smith, Kansas Region earn SCCA honors

Awards nights at the SCCA National Convention recognized a Midwest Division region and two MiDiv members for their accomplishments in 2025.
Kansas Region swept the two region awards for large regions – the Tom Burke Award and the Regional Achievement award. The region also placed top-5 in statistical recognitions for largest growth year over year regardless of Region size, and largest percentage of “achieved potential growth” regardless of size.
The RallyCross program presented its top award, the Dirty Cup, to Mark Macoubrie of Kansas City Region.
Brad Smith of Kansas City Region was recognized among the Solo awards as only the second recipient of the Heart of Solo Award, a new honor created in 2024 and initially presented in September at the Solo Nationals.
