🏳️ Trace Hance

Trace Hance is a competitive amateur racing in the SCCA Regionals multiclass championship, where he campaigns spec Mazda MX-5 Miatas in the SM, SMT and STL classes. His career on record spans three seasons from 2022 to 2024, with 28 starts across SCCA Regionals and a brief stint in SCCA Majors.[1]

Hance took 12 wins and 18 podiums in total, the bulk of them in SCCA Regionals where he competed regularly. In 2024, his most recent season, he won four of the four rounds he started, though he finished 59th in the championship standings, indicating that his race wins did not translate to consistent point accumulation across the full calendar. His one appearance in SCCA Majors came in 2023 with four starts and no podiums in that multiclass field.[2]

In the regular competitor pool, Hance typically finished ahead of Chris Clarke and Mical Fountain, both competitive amateurs racing the same series. He also beat Tyler Gonzalez, a professional driver graded FIA Silver who had raced IMSA Pilot Challenge and the Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup, twice across their meetings. Against Thomas Annunziata, an ARCA Menards Series champion, Hance finished ahead once.
