You ready to ROCK?!
If you’re attending the Sept. 1-5, 2025, Tire Rack SCCA® Solo® National Championships in Lincoln, NE, you better be, because with amps cranked and guitars in hand, this rock-and-roll themed autocross will soon take center stage. But have you found yourself in need of more Solo Nats info to keep your excitement up? Us too! All day long we think of things, but nothing seems to satisfy. We think we’ll lose our mind if we don’t find something to pacify.
Perhaps we’re just being paranoid, but maybe if we release more information about this year’s Solo Nats, people will stop judging our Solo Nats rock-and-roll obsession.
Dropping this year’s run/work order, event schedule, and supps should do the trick. This way you’ll know when to show up and how things work when you’re there.
We’ll begin with the one you really want to know…
Into the Void
Has he lost his mind, you ask? Can he see, or is he blind? There’s been information on the Solo Nats homepage for months, you say.
You’re correct– but that doesn’t mean there’s not more to know before bringing your automotive iron, man, to Lincoln.
This is where the event schedule comes into play…
Here’s some of what jumped out at us…
Opening cords play on Monday, Sept. 1, with the Solo Town Hall at 3:30 p.m. CT, followed by the Welcome Party Kickoff and what we’re dubbing the Battle of the Bites at 4:30 p.m. The Solo Town Hall and Welcome Party take place in the Tire Rack Event Center, which is easily recognizable in the paddock by the fact that it’s a big ass tent sitting in the paddock just north of the East Course grid.
For the Welcome Party follow the music to the big tent near the practice course (Row 7), as a live band will take the stage (!!). The Battle of the Bites follows; for that, just follow the smell of food into the lower paddock where you’ll find Regions and other groups supplying food, drinks, and perhaps some hijinks.
Some of the stops include:
- Chiwaukee
- St Louis/Central Illinois
- Spokes/Road Trip Racing Team (RTRT)
- Atlanta Region
- Rust Belt: Western New York Region/Ohio
- NWOR
- Saginaw Valley Region
- Philadelphia / Northern New Jersey
Come Wednesday evening (around 5:45 p.m.), gather at the Tire Rack Event Center once more to celebrate the Tuesday/Wednesday class winners, along with the presentation of a few of SCCA’s most significant autocross awards – then chow down for free (!!!) at the food trucks SCCA has invited to the event.
For those competing Thursday/Friday, the Tire Rack Event Center will once again host the winner’s walk following the conclusion of competition, likely around 4 p.m.
What paddock parties are taking place Tuesday and Thursday nights? Those are unofficial, so we’ll have to wait to discover what lies ahead. While not all Solo Nats are the same and times have changed and times are strange, we know it’s going to be a good time both on course and off. Because when it comes to this year’s Sept. 1-5 Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championships, it’s like, mama, I’m coming home.
What’s Up?
There’s even more to know about the Solo Nats, and for that, you’ll want to check out the freshly-minted event Supplemental Regulations.
And for future reference, all of these links can be found here…
(And no, Black Sabbath and Ozzy aren’t the only things we listen to, it’s just what we were listening to when this was written. If you don’t know the references...well, you’ve got a lot of work to do before becoming a 2025 Solo Nats supernaut.)
