What is the Mid America Series?

The goal of this championship series is to increase attendance at these mostly Central Time Zone regional PCA club races. The Mid America Championship Series will follow the PCA national championship rules with adjustments to include these specific venues, travel points, and the minimum number of races needed to accumulate points. All PCA club racers are eligible and can earn points toward a Mid America Championship podium.

How Are Points Awarded?

With 8 events scheduled in 2024, the series is adopting the PCA National Championship rules:

• Best 13 race point totals, and
• Must successfully start and finish a minimum of 7 point-scoring races.

Instead of Event Points, the series is substituting Travel Points measured by the distance between the driver’s home and the track:

• 5 points for >500 miles
• 10 points for >700 miles
• 15 points for >1000 miles

The PCA Club Racing National Committee will track and validate the distance metric based on zip code of the driver’s home and the event’s track location.

Travel Points are earned per event.  Racers must start and finish at least one race per event.  To qualify as starting, the racer must have passed the starter stand on the track after displaying the green flag to start the race.  A late start after the green flag will count as a start if the racer passes the starter stand on the track.

To qualify as finishing, the racer must be running on the track when the winner crosses the finish line and subsequently crosses the finish line timing loop on-track or in the hot pit if it is possible at that track.  There will be a maximum of 30 points available each year in this category.

Season Championship

The series is planning to host an annual regional seasonal awards presentation at one of the Mid America Championship Series club race events.  In addition to the championship podium winners, there will be recognition of attendance at the Mid America Series events.

A Mid America Championship is sponsored by Hankook Competition
