Dagnabbit, it’s done!
The Wild West-themed 51st Tire Rack SCCA® Solo® National Championships crowned victors from each of the 36 car classes that concluded competition Friday, Sept. 6, 2024, at Lincoln Airpark in Nebraska’s capital city.
If you missed out on this year’s session of #funwithcars – which included great weather, comradery, competition, and the Chuckwagon Challenge – get your priorities straight and start making plans to be part of the 2025 Solo Nats experience. \
If you want to relive some moments from this year’s event, check out the Tire Rack SCCA National Solo and SCCA Official Facebook pages on social media. And don’t forget about journalist Brian Bielanski’s Inside the SCCA segments posted to The Racing Network YouTube page, because he spent the week finding fascinating stories from around the Solo Nats paddock. Plus, if that YouTube channel reaches 1,100 subscribers by Sept. 25, he will give away a free entry to next year’s Solo Nats.
