Hi All,

Thank you again for signing up to be a part of the 2024 Tire Rack SCCA Solo Nationals! We’re gearing up for a Wild Wild event in Lincoln and we can’t wait to see everyone there! This is the third round of a weekly Monday bulletin for Solo Nationals competitors containing valuable information you should know. Expect one each Monday from now until Nationals.

Please take a few minutes each week to read through everything and by doing so you will be well prepared to have a week of fun at Solo Nationals! Let’s get started.

• Individual Paddock Space Registration is Opening

Registration for Individual Paddock Spaces will open on Wednesday, August 14 at 6pm Central. To request a paddock space, you and any co-drivers that you’re claiming must be registered for the event before being considered. A specific Paddock Space email will be published ahead of registration but go ahead and mark your calendar! Group Paddocks are being finalized in order to provide accurate availability.

• Site Etiquette

As we enter the 15th year of running at Lincoln Air Park, we want to remind everyone that this is a Solo site just like everyone else has in their Region. We would like everyone to treat LAP just like they would their local site. This means helping keep the site clean, watching speeds, and avoiding areas that are restricted (such as crossing the snow fence). Just like with other sites, the eyes of LAP have noticed some instances of horseplay around the site. They have specifically mentioned it to us and to help us keep the site please treat it with respect as you would your own region’s site.

We also would like to give you all a heads up that many racetracks require all drivers of golf carts to carry insurance specific to the golf carts. While this isn’t something we want to put in place it is something we, unfortunately, have had to discuss possibly doing. It won’t be required this year but is something we might discuss for the future depending on how carts are treated.

• Paddock Limitations

1) All conveyance vehicles, to include golf carts, bicycles, trikes, mopeds, motorcycles, scooters, etc. MUST be equipped with at least one front light, and one rear light when operated after dusk, and prior to dawn. Preference would be two front lights and at least one rear light. The rear light should be red and the front light(s) should be white, but as long as the vehicle can be clearly seen during dark hours of operation, a combination is acceptable.

2) Speeds on site, excluding the courses, will be monitored by radar reading and will be a max of 12 mph.

3) Rules of the road shall apply, including paddock lanes, and all other areas inside the Nationals compound. This includes stopping at intersections and proceeding with caution, watching out for pedestrian traffic as well as other conveyances, no horseplay in or on any conveyance vehicle including golf carts and other units listed above. There shall be no ramp jumping, racing, tire warming, or reckless operation of any vehicle inside Nationals gated and fenced area.

4) Tire cleaning shall be confined to the tire cleaning area only. No donuts or other reckless operation of any vehicle inside the compound.

5) Areas outside of Nationals gated area, including approach and entry roads, shall not be used for tire warming, tuning, or anything other than a route to and from the Nationals compound. Posted speed limits should be observed.

6) Quiet time runs from 10 PM till 6 AM. Please consider your neighbors during that time. Loud generators must not operate during quiet hours.

7) Use all trash bins available. There will be bins marked CARDBOARD ONLY, please use appropriately as this is a local government ordinance. Please DO NOT MOVE the bins unless you are emptying them into the larger dumpsters. If you must move them, please return them to their original locations. The locations of the bins are marked on a map to assist the trash vendor in emptying all bins quickly and efficiently.

8) IMPORTANT REMINDER: If you are paddocked in an asphalt spot, NO HOLES can be made in the surface. Any jack, jack stand, tent pole, etc. MUST have a solid flat surface under it. Wood is strongly encouraged to be at least 12"x12".

9) IMPORTANTER REMINDER: Over the course of the ProSolo Finale and Solo Nationals, paddock space will again be shared with an active Lincoln Airport maintenance facility taxiway. This taxiway runs directly from the Goodyear hangar through the paddock to the runway. The taxiway is marked off with cones and/or barriers. This taxiway MUST remain open and unblocked 24/7. When you cross the taxiway, either on foot or by vehicle, DO NOT STOP or park in the active taxiway. Any parked/blocking vehicle will be towed immediately.

10) Paddock Marshal (safety) is Phil Osborn. If any issues arise in the paddock, his cell number is 214 288 3922. He will respond to calls anytime. In addition, there will be others working/patrolling the paddock in a golf cart marked Paddock or Paddock Safety.
