Hi all!

I’ve got a couple of odds n ends for you all this evening. I know many of you are on the road, so I’m hoping to keep this one short and sweet.

• Introducing The Champions Walk!

In addition to celebrating class trophy winners in grid after each heat, the 50th running of Solo Nationals will include Champions Celebrations on Wednesday and Friday evenings. In celebration, champions will receive their champion’s trophy, and get to take the “champions walk” from the stage to the podium- where all the day’s champions will gather for photos.

Wednesday’s Champions Celebration will include recognition of our annual awards, Top Tue/Wed PAX, current FTD and our Class Champions.

Friday’s Celebration will honor Thur/Fri PAX, FTD, Bob Woods Memorial Trophy (FSAE), and we will wrap up the event with Class Champions.

• Site Map Available & Note About East/Plane Side Traffic Lane

An overall site map has now been posted to the SCCA.com event page. If you would like a general overview of the site before you arrive, you can check it out here. You’ll also see these maps on-site – one at the gate and another in the Tire Rack Event Center (TREC) at Information.

In addition, and very important to note, due to some necessary site adjustments, the East/Plane Side Traffic Lane will be for walking/scooter/bicycle traffic only. It is not large enough for four-wheeled vehicles. You will need to access your paddock lane from the Western Traffic Lane.

• Inside the SCCA Podcast

Inside the SCCA will be doing four shows from Solo Nationals. The goal is to capture the slice of racing life that makes Solo Nationals such a special event. Inside the SCCA from the Tire Rack SCCA Solo Nationals is presented by Mazda Motorsports. If you know of a story that needs to be shared or someone I need to interview -- find me roaming the paddock. I'll be located near the Tire Rack Event Center... and my paddock spot is in row one a bit east of the TREC. We're also going to do a toast and a family picture with all the guests attending Nationals who have ever been on the show. That will be Wednesday night right before the awards ceremony. Even if you haven't been on the show -- stop by for the toast and say hi.

• Don’t Forget to Pack the Tow Hook!

Friendly reminder to bring your tow hook with you to Lincoln. Not that anything is going to happen, but should the need arise, it’ll help us get you off course quicker. The quicker you’re off course, the quicker you can start sorting the issue. It also means that we can get cars back on course, too.
