Just like 2023, the season standings are only part of the story of the SMC in 2024. Here are some highlights:

We expanded to three races and went *international* with a great event in Mission, British Columbia.

We conducted two fan and driver-favorite LeMans-style starts cleanly.

We raced safe, with only one minor contact incident all season.

We had FUN. This is our hobby; none of us is getting richer by racing. It has to be fun, on and off the track.

Three of our drivers, Campbell, Duncan, and Newman, traveled to Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin to three days of racing at historics Road America, including participating in the All Healey World Challenge races.
