Richard Franklin competed in club-level single-seater racing at the SCCA Majors in 2022. His rating of 1,012 places him in the developing band; he raced in fields that do not include full professionals, and his two starts produced no podium finishes. His average finish of sixth suggests occasional competitive moments in club competition, and he did on separate occasions finish ahead of Kevin Bury, a competitive amateur driver, and three other club-level racers including Dave Zavelson, the 2021 SCCA Majors FA champion. These were isolated results rather than a pattern of dominance over stronger fields.[1]

Franklin's racing career on record consists only of the 2022 SCCA Majors season, after which he retired from the sport. With just two race starts and no wins or podiums to show, his time in organised competition was brief and remains at the entry level of club racing.
