The GT and GTS classes of the Pirelli World Challenge will be in action this weekend at Sonoma Raceway. You can catch every minute by logging onto http://www.world-challengetv.com to view each race via live streaming.

In GT, Cadillac pilot Johnny O’Connell still holds the top spot in the Drivers’ Championship. Mike Skeen, driving an Audi R8 Ultra this season, sits second in season-long points, 82 markers behind O’Connell. With the season winding down, it’s crunch time to make hay in the Championship fight.

Michael Mills took over the lead in GT-A by notching the best-in-class finish in both races at Mid-Ohio. Former Championship leader Henrik Hedman held on to the second spot in class, trailing by 27 markers. Dan Knox holds station in third, with 536 points.

In GTS, Mark Wilkins is the top dog in class heading into this weekend’s racing. Wilkins holds a 143-point lead over his teammate, Nic Jonsson, and will be looking for a smooth race weekend to consolidate his class lead. Sitting third in the Drivers’ Championship is defending titlist Lawson Aschenbach, with 999 points.

Both races of this doubleheader weekend will be covered via live internet broadcast, which can be seen by going to http://www.world-challengetv.com. Starting Aug. 23, at 2:20 p.m. (PDT), will be Race One. The event will be capped off by coverage of Race Two Aug. 24, at 4:10 p.m. (PDT).

It’s hard to imagine but we are just a few days away from the 2014 Pro Solo Finale and the Tire Rack Solo Nationals! By participating in the 2014 Solo Events in Lincoln, you will be part of history for SCCA. This year’s Pro Solo Finale is the largest ever and the same can be said for the Tire Rack Solo Nationals. Also this year, we have the first ever CAM Class Invitational Challenge, sponsored by Speedway Motors and the Monday night Welcome Party will be at the site. We want to mention that the Monday night Welcome Party is being sponsored by Grass Roots Motorsports. Not only is it a Welcome Party but we will also be bringing back an oldie but goodie! The Talent Show is being revived! Below is a list of what is going on for 2014.

As you can see, we have ten very full days in Lincoln. One thing that is different this year is that we will not be printing the Driver’s Information Manual (DIM). A digital version of the DIM will be available on the SCCA website Monday August, 25 with the rest of the Nationals information.

We look forward to seeing everyone in Lincoln. Bring your brightest clothing and let’s have some fun on the Concrete Beach!
