Tyler Ladd receives Kimberly Cup, Most Improved at Runoffs

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.
