🏳️ Scott Carlisle

Scott Carlisle is a club-level driver whose rating of 1,199 places him in the developing category; he races in fields that do not meet the calibre of professional competition. Over six seasons from 2019 to 2025, Carlisle has made 57 starts across three series, the majority in NASA club racing with the Mazda Miata. His record there stands at one win and three podiums from 40 races, a return that reflects his typical finishing position of 13th overall. He has also competed 12 times in SCCA Majors and five times in SCCA Regionals without reaching the podium in either series.[1]

Carlisle's head-to-head record against his most frequent rivals tells a consistent story of racing near the middle of the field. Against Keith Williamson and Bayani Dia, drivers rated substantially higher, he finished ahead only five times and four times respectively across 38 and 34 shared races. His record against don Elvington and the lower-rated John Palazzolo is more balanced, with wins in a combined 35 races out of 60 shared starts. Most tellingly, he holds a winning record only against Rodriques Walker, a driver rated well below him, beating that rival 23 times while losing six times across 29 races. On rare occasions he has finished ahead of significantly stronger drivers; he beat Matthew Payne, an FIA Gold graded professional, four times, and Paul Aron, a professional-level competitor, seven times. These results are isolated within much larger bodies of races and do not constitute a pattern of competitive superiority.

Carlisle's most recent activity, in 2025 SCCA Regionals, shows no podiums across two rounds and a 298th-place finish, a result typical of racing at his level rather than any marked decline. His career sits entirely within club and regional racing; he is an active participant in that space but shows no evidence of progression toward professional competition.
