Hi All,

Thank you again for signing up to be a part of the 2022 Tire Rack SCCA Solo Nationals! This year we are celebrating the 49th running of this awesome event and beginning our trip down memory lane by heading Back to the Eighties. We’re looking forward to a fantabulous week with all of you! This is the second 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 Update

If you registered for an individual paddock spot and have not yet received a confirmation email, please reach out to Paddock Chief Mat at solopaddock@scca.com. Everyone who filled out the paddock reservation form should have received their confirmation email at this time.

• Have You Registered for Contingency?

Our contingency team is telling me that things are looking a little light on the registration side. Don’t forget that you have to register for Solo Nationals contingency SEPARATELY from National Tour registrations. National Tour sign-ups DO NOT carry over to this event.

Competitors must be registered prior to competing, and it is the competitor's responsibility to comply with contingency requirements. Please check the programs on https://www.scca.com/pages/solo-contingency for detailed program requirements, including decal placements and a link to the registration page.

The following companies are posting bronze level contingency programs for which you must register directly with the sponsoring companies:

Hoosier Racing Tire
Mazda North American Operations
Toyota Racing Development

• First Time at Solo Nationals?

If this is your first trip to Lincoln Air Park for Solo Nationals, welcome! I hope that you have a great time at the concrete beach! If no one has mentioned it to you yet, may I recommend sourcing a bike or scooter to help you get around the site while you’re there? (The site really is that big!)

If you’ve attended a National Tour in 2022, you may already be familiar with the Starting Line Driver’s Edge program and the coaches that have been there to help you navigate the event for the first time. We’re bringing the program to Solo Nationals!

Interested? Check out the program here if you need more details before signing up. Or claim your spot here (it’s still free to participate)! Registration closes Tuesday, August 30th!

• Site Etiquette

As we enter the 13th 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 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.

• Course walk wristbands

If you need approval for course walk accommodations, please email Tracy Lewis before 3:00 pm Central on Thursday, September 1 for pre-approval by a Chief Steward. She can be reached at tlewis@scca.com. Please provide pertinent details so that they can be included in the request to the Steward. Once approved, your wristband will be available for you at Solo Nationals Check-In. After 3:00 pm Central on September 1, any requests for accommodations will need to be directed to the Chief Steward on site.

• Women on Track Brunch

Join Women on Track at the Tire Rack Event Center on Monday, September 5 at 10:00 am to meet other WOT, talk cars, and win prizes! We have the passion, and it's time to share it!

Check out the flyer for more information and register so we have an accurate headcount for snacks! It’s free to attend, we just want to know you’re coming!

• Paddock Limitations

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.

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 be shared with an active Lincoln Airport maintenance facility taxiway. This taxiway runs diagonally from the Goodyear hangar through the paddock and then turns directly East/West along the light poles between the Tire Rack Event Center/Vender row and Paddock. 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 by foot or vehicle, DO NOT STOP or park in the active taxiway. Any parked/blocking vehicle will be towed immediately.

10) Paddock Marshal (safety) is Steve Eberlein. If any issues arise in the paddock, his cell number is 817 999 9878. 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.
