🇺🇸 Mark Means

Mark Means is a competitive amateur racer with a Racer Rating of 1,710, placing him in the club racing band; this means he competes in local and regional racing fields rather than among full professionals, though he is quick enough to win regularly in those fields. His career spans four seasons from 2022 to 2025 in SCCA Regionals competition, where he has recorded 2 wins and 11 podiums from 33 starts. His average finishing position of P9.6 places him toward the front of his typical fields, and he remains active as of 2025.[1]

Means has competed consistently against the same group of drivers throughout his time in SCCA Regionals. His head-to-head record against most of his regular rivals is decidedly mixed; he trails Ross Lindell by 14 wins to 2 across their 16 shared races, and similarly finishes behind Matthew Wyatt and Rob Fuller more often than ahead of them, both stronger drivers in the same series. However, he holds a clear advantage over Joan Linehan, winning all 15 of their shared races. He has recorded isolated victories over some considerably stronger drivers, including Gold-graded professional Adam Smalley in 2024, though these remain single results rather than patterns of sustained competition at a higher level.[2]

His 2025 season has brought fewer results; through eight rounds he has recorded 2 podiums without a win and currently sits seventy-first in the points. Means represents the committed amateur competitor, winning in regional racing and mixing occasionally with more accomplished drivers without establishing himself as their equal over time.
