Stan Kohls was a semi-professional driver who competed in open-wheel racing between 2005 and 2014, primarily in North America's ladder series. His career rating of 3,170 places him in the semi-professional band, a level typically represented by drivers who contest pro-am and single-make classes and run mid-pack among full professionals. Across 12 starts in the Star Mazda Championship and Pro Mazda Championship, Kohls never scored a win or podium finish, averaging a classified position of 22.7. His most substantial stretch came in the Star Mazda Championship from 2005 to 2009, where he made 10 starts; he then returned to competition briefly in 2014 with two starts in Pro Mazda before retiring.[1]
Kohls spent virtually his entire career with World Speed Motorsports, a small single-seater operation that won twice across its full history and which fielded stronger drivers such as Kyle Kaiser. Against his regular rivals in Star Mazda, Kohls consistently finished behind drivers rated at similar or slightly higher levels; he lost his head-to-head records against Phil Fogg Jr. by 8-2, against Michael Guasch by 4-3, and against Patrick O'Neill by 7-1. His most notable result came as an isolated achievement: a single finish ahead of Dane Cameron, the 2007 Star Mazda champion who would later become a factory sports car driver with multiple IMSA and international endurance titles. Kohls also beat Graham Rahal and Spencer Pigot once each, both drivers who would go on to professional careers at higher levels, though these represent individual race results rather than patterns of competitive advantage.
