Hi All,

Thank you again for signing up to be a part of the 2023 Tire Rack SCCA Solo Nationals! This year we are celebrating the 50th running of this awesome event and are looking forward to seeing everyone! This is the fourth 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 Closes August 25th

Registration for Individual Paddock Spaces will close Friday, August 25th. If you are wanting to pick your paddock spot, please make sure you do so before then! To select a paddock spot, simply click on an available spot on the Paddock Map and complete the Registration Form. If you just need a space but aren’t particular about where, shoot an email to the Paddock Team at solopaddock@scca.com and let them know. They’ll be glad to assign you a home for the week.

• Run/Work Order, Event Schedule, & Supps Posted

In case you missed it, the Run/Work Order and Event Schedule have been posted! The run/work order is always a giant jigsaw puzzle, and this year was no exception. Balancing class size, open and ladies classes, as well as cars competing in multiple classes, are just some of the things the Worker Chief has to look at each year.

Event Supplemental Regulations are also now available for your review here: https://www.scca.com/downloads/69067-2023-solo-nationals-supps/download. Please review them for important items such as:

• We’re still sharing the paddock with a taxiway (don’t stop or park in the active taxiway!)
• Use of the National Tour stage/start lights (including a stage/start light explanation document)
• Impound and weighing procedures – officials may ask for components to be removed during the impound process & competitors should have the proper tools available in grid for removal and reinstallation of said components, ie a jack and necessary tolls for removal of front & rear wheels & jack stands to support the raised vehicle.
• Protest & appeals procedures (including link for filing electronically)
• Sound Policy – review Appendix H of the 2023 National Solo rules (pg 310-11).
  
• Early Arrival – NO on-site option

Unfortunately, the Airpark was not able to provide us with an Early Arrival spot this year, so there is NO early arrival space in the Airpark. You will need to make your own arrangements ahead of the Friday, Sept 1, 8am gate time. Remember, we are not able to, nor want to, clog the Airpark’s roadways, so hanging outside the gate/along the roads is not an option.

• Waivers & Wristbands

Don’t forget that you have the option to take care of your waiver ahead of the event! We highly encourage you to take advantage of this – then all you have to do is show the gate staff your credentials and you’re in! (If your SCCA membership card does not have your picture on the front, you will also need to show your driver’s license with your Annual Waiver designation.)

The silicone wristbands we’ve all grown to love will be back this year, and available at the gate. If you’re not a fan of those, the standard SCCA Tyvek band will also be available.

Links to the SCCA annual waiver instructions and the SpeedWaiver option can be found below.

Annual Waiver Instructions (including minor waiver information)

SpeedWaiver

If you are a competitor under the age of 19 (or have a competitor under the age of 19), please email Tracy Lewis at tlewis@scca.com so that we are aware and can help make sure the minor waiver is taken care of correctly ahead of the event. Remember, in Nebraska, the age of majority is 19, so don’t let that catch you unaware!

• Worker Descriptions

The Chief of Workers has put together a job description for all Solo Nationals worker assignments. Whether you are a seasoned veteran or new to National Solo events, we encourage everyone to read them over so that everyone is prepared and on the same page. You can refresh your memory here: https://www.scca.com/downloads/69066-2023-solo-nationals-work-assignment-descriptions

• Don’t Forget Your Event Swag!

If you were pre-ordering your event-specific gear, make sure you get your order in before the August 25 deadline! Pre-orders will be available for pick up in Shirts101’s tent. Check out the offerings & order here: https://shirts101.store/scca_solo_nat (they’ve added some additional offerings!)

• Will Work for Free Test N Tune Sessions!

Willing to work for Test N Tune Sessions? The Test N Tune course is operated by the Nebraska Region every year, allowing participants to test n tune without working. However, this year they are looking for some additional workers to help out. If you’re willing to work two 2-hour sessions, they will give you a set of four runs in an available hour slot! Don’t need the Test N Tune session but still want to help out? You can also earn a Nebraska Region event entry credit or a donation to a Partner Organization of your choice. Give Nebraska Region a hand and register here: http://msreg.com/2023NatsTnTWork. To select your Test N Tune slot, register here: http://msreg.com/solonatstnt23. After the event, workers who selected the T&T runs option will have their T&T entries credited back (based on number of sessions worked).
