Registration Nearing for Out of This World 2016 Tire Rack Solo Nationals
TOPEKA, Kan. (June 8, 2016) – It’s that time again. The September 5-9 Tire Rack Solo Nationals, presented by Garmin VIRB, are rapidly approaching. As such, registration for the year-end competition and party will open to everyone Wednesday, June 15 at 3pm Central Time on the Tire Rack Solo Nationals webpage.
Registration for this year’s event will be $175 per entrant, with the event capped at 1,350 participants. Keeping in mind that the 2015 Tire Rack Solo Nationals welcomed more than 1,225 contestants, interested parties should not dally when it comes to reserving a spot at this well-attended competition. August 10 is when late fees will begin to be assessed for those registering for the event. Howard Duncan, SCCA Senior Director of Solo and Rally, said the late registration price is $300 per entry.
“This will be the 44th running of the Tire Rack Solo Nationals,” Duncan said. “This year’s theme will be ‘Cone Encounters.’ What does this sci-fi theme entail? You’ll just have to register for the Tire Rack Solo Nationals and come have fun with us at Lincoln Airpark in Lincoln, Nebraska to find out.”
Following open registration, group paddock requests will be accepted beginning June 29 for groups of five or more. Each person in the request must be pre-registered for the event at the time of the request. July 13 will be the close for group registrations before the paddock reservation process opens July 20 to the general membership. People must be registered for the Tire Rack Solo Nationals to earn a paddock spot. August 24 is then when event and paddock registration will close.
Another important deadline is July 13 for first-come, first-serve tent reservations where Regions or Divisions can construct “Landing Zones” for social gatherings. Such requests must be emailed to Brian Harmer at bharmer@scca.com. This year there will be seven 20’X30’ tents and two 30’X30’ tents available.
Last but not least, the run/work order will be published August 17, and August 29 is the last day to receive a partial refund for cancellation. More information can be found at the Tire Rack Solo Nationals webpage.
