SCCA Member Anniversaries: January 2025

The New Year brings with it New Year’s resolutions – and it appears a common New Year’s resolution is to get involved in motorsports, because this month’s 25-65-year SCCA® member anniversary listing is roughly 50% larger than it was in December.

Who is on that list? Just looking for multi-time Solo® National Champions, we see that celebrating 25 years is Des Moines Valley Region’s five-time Solo National Champion Joe Tharpe and 10-time Solo National Champion (and pro racer) Bryan Heitkotter from San Francisco Region, with two-time Solo National Champion Robert Lewis (from Red Hills Region) celebrating 30 years with the Club. Then in the 35-year anniversary section, you’ll find three-time Solo National Champion and Cal Club Region member Guy Ankeny as well as eight-time Solo National Champ Mark Madarash (from Texas Region).

We’ve undoubtedly missed a number of others, so before we embarrass ourselves by continuing down the list looking for more multi-time Solo champs, let us instead recognize 50-year member and past SCCA Archivist and SCCA National Convention emcee Peter Hylton, hailing from Indianapolis Region.

Then there’s Alabama Region member George W. Barber Jr., New England Region member Robert Cunningham, and San Francisco Region member Robert A. Fox, all of whom joined the Sports Car Club of America 65 years ago in January 1960!

There are a lot of others deserving recognition this month, and you’ll find them all listed below.

The anniversary listing below notes each member’s name, Region of record, Division, and join/rejoin date. It’s important to point out that join dates for the 1970s and earlier may note the first of the month rather than the actual day of membership.
