🏳️ Steve Maholias

Steve Maholias is a competitive amateur, ranked 483 in an Elo-style scale where drivers at this level win in club racing and entry-level amateur fields. His record spans five seasons of SCCA Regionals racing from 2022 to 2026, yielding one podium from 18 starts and an average finishing position of sixth.[1]

Maholias has raced primarily against semi-professional and club-level competitors. His most frequent rival is Phil Adams, a driver of similar rating; Maholias trails that head-to-head 4–9 across 13 races. Against stronger opposition, the record is consistently one-sided. He has finished behind Albert Lazo, the 2025 SCCA Regionals ITA champion, in all eight of their shared races; behind Cesar Ochoa in five of five; and behind John Macgowan in nine of eleven. He holds a 4–5 record against Roger Heaton and has beaten Steve Knob seven times in eight races, suggesting Knob is one of the few drivers in his regular field materially weaker than himself. His single podium finish came in 2026. Isolated victories against much stronger drivers, including semi-professional competitor Mathias Ramirez and club racer Glen Vitale, appear as outliers in an otherwise consistent pattern of mid-field results against a semi-professional field that regularly outpaces him.
