While the Tire Rack SCCA® Solo® National Tour and Tire Rack SCCA ProSolo® Series have barely gotten underway, our brains are already speed-running straight to the 2026 Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championships – and for good reason. The frustratingly efficient Content Management System that the SCCA Staff uses ain’t no game, and it just told us that the Sept. 7-11, 2026, Tire Rack SCCA® Solo® National Championships is closing in fast; that means it’s time for us to start putting in event prep work while informing the rest of you that you should begin juggling PTO requests, mapping travel routes, and stacking other logistical blocks. Yet while we may not have unlocked every event detail of the winner-take-all National Championship event just yet (we’ll need to grind a little to lock in the exact run times for each class), we do know which days most classes will take their shot at glory on the massive expanse of concrete at Lincoln Airpark in Lincoln, NE.
And as soon as you click the button below, so will you.
But first, know that all but XA, XB, XU, CSM, CSX, and EVX have their days assigned. Those classes will have their run days determined after the May 21-25 Spring Nationals in Lincoln, NE.
On top of that, we have event pricing as well as registration tier dates and times along with a handful of other key checkpoints to keep on your radar.
First, here are those preliminary Solo Nats run days:
What Else You Need to Know
With around 1,300 drivers lining up last year thanks to the expanded entry cap, the Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championships felt more like a packed multiplayer party than ever. Since the new formula worked like a charm, we’re keeping the entry cap at 1,400 for 2026. After all, more competitors, more action, and more chances to chase those trophies makes for the perfect showdown.
To keep things balanced, run groups for Tuesday/Wednesday and Thursday/Friday will each be capped at 700 drivers. While more specifics are incoming (like a class run-day breakdown), for now, it’s a good idea to start locking in your competition class of choice so you’re not scrambling when registration opens.
The entry fee will sit at $224 until July 29 (12:01 a.m. Central Time) – after that date, it jumps to $325. If you register before July 29 and need to cancel later, a $100 cancellation fee will apply, and no refunds will be issued for anyone who signs up on or after July 29.
Online registration closes completely on Monday, Aug. 24 at 3 p.m. Central Time.
For those who registered prior to July 29, note that the deadline to cancel and still receive a refund (minus that $100 fee for early registrants) has moved up one week as compared to previous years, making this year’s refund deadline Aug. 24 at 7 p.m. Central Time.
Those Tiers
There are two Solo Nats registration tiers this year, with most drivers signing up during Open Registration. Here’s how it breaks down:
Tier 1
Tier 1 registrants include 2025 Solo National Champions, 2026 event chiefs, those in the 100 Percenters club (this is a group of members who have been at every Solo Nationals ever held), and Silver Circle (attended Solo Nats 25 times or more). Tier 1 also applies to those who finished on the podium at last year’s Solo Nats (that’s the top three – not all trophy winners qualify) or were winners in supplemental or undersubscribed classes and didn’t officially win a National Championship.
This group can register beginning on Monday, June 1, at 3 p.m. Central Time.
Open Registration
If you don’t qualify for Tier 1, your event registration begins Monday, June 8, at 3 p.m. Central Time.
