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.

“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)
