Sam Harrington is a club-level competitor with a Racer Rating of 1,383, placing him in the developing category; this means he races consistently in club and regional fields but remains at the entry level of organised motorsport. Across seven seasons from 2020 to 2026, Harrington has started 25 races in SCCA competition, primarily in the Majors series, and has recorded one podium finish with an average result of seventh place.[1]
Harrington's record shows a clear pattern against his regular rivals. He has dominated competitors at his own level, finishing ahead of Bryan Yates (498) in 12 of 15 shared races and never trailing Keith McDonald (400) or F Russell Strate Jr (400) across their meetings. However, he has struggled badly against drivers rated significantly higher. Against Charles Russell Turner (1,925), a semi-professional competitor, Harrington finished behind him in 10 of 11 races; Paul Schneider (2,230) beat him in 9 of 10 meetings. Harrington has occasional results against stronger professionals such as Darryl Wills (3,499) and Silver-graded sportscar driver Gian Buffomante (3,486), but these remain isolated instances rather than competitive head-to-heads. His racing has been confined to SCCA club events, where he remains active as of the 2025 season.
