The United States Endurance Racing Association (USERA) is a road racing sanctioning body that conducts endurance and sprint race events in the United States and Canada. The USERA Endurance Championship was established in 2006 as a low cost, professional endurance championship for drivers looking to move beyond regional and club racing programs.
The USERA Endurance Championship was initially run with spec Mazda Miata sports cars and there were 6 race events held in 2006. At the end of 2006, the series was expanded to include the Spec Racer Challenge as a series for SCCA Enterprises Spec Racer Fords. There were two events held in 2007. No events were sanctioned in 2008. In 2009 USERA sanctioned a double race weekend for the Spec Racer Challenge at Lime Rock Park. USERA also added Formula USERA as a supporting race at Lime Rock in 2009.
In 2010 USERA attempted to create the American Touring Car Championship (ATCC). ATCC was designed for near stock touring cars using standing starts common to European-style touring car racing. The series failed to gain support so no ATTC events were hosted. USERA also promoted and operating the 25th Anniversary Spec Racer Ford Celebration event at Road Atlanta, which celebrated the 25th anniversary for the Spec Racer Ford.

“It is said that the British Empire is very large and respectable, and that the United States are a first-rate power. We do not believe that a tide rises and falls behind every man which can float the British Empire like a chip, if he should ever harbor it in his mind.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The United Nations cannot do anything, and never could; it is not an animate entity or agent. It is a place, a stage, a forum and a shrine ... a place to which powerful people can repair when they are fearful about the course on which their own rhetoric seems to be propelling them.”
—Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)
“My opinion is that the Northern states will manage somehow to muddle through.”
—John Bright (1811–1889)
“The poet is no tender slip of fairy stock, who requires peculiar institutions and edicts for his defense, but the toughest son of earth and of Heaven, and by his greater strength and endurance his fainting companions will recognize the God in him. It is the worshipers of beauty, after all, who have done the real pioneer work of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they don’t get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings begin with melted goat’s cheese ... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“With all their faults, trade-unions have done more for humanity than any other organization of men that ever existed. They have done more for decency, for honesty, for education, for the betterment of the race, for the developing of character in man, than any other association of men.”
—Clarence Darrow (1857–1938)
