Hi All,

Thank you again for signing up to be a part of the 2025 Tire Rack SCCA Solo Nationals! We’re getting wired in for Lincoln and we can’t wait to turn Solo Nats up to 11! This is the fifth round of a weekly Monday bulletin for Solo Nationals competitors containing valuable information you should know. 

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.

• I-70 Construction in Missouri

There is construction in Missouri along I-70, that may exist in phases for several years. If you typically find yourself along this route, you may want to take a look at what’s going on and see if an alternate route will be required or a helpful backup plan.

• 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 a morning or afternoon, they will give you a set of four runs in an available hour slot! Already registered for a T&T slot? Don’t worry! They’ll get the money back to you when you work! Give Nebraska Region a hand and register here: https://msreg.com/TNT2025.

Need more details? Check out the email from Saturday!

• OK, But What About Runs on the Competition Surface?

Well…we’ve got that option too, but just for Sunday, August 31. If you’re willing to work the ProSolo Finale Challenges, we’ll give you 4 runs on the Finale courses on Sunday morning!

What it is: 4 free runs on Sunday morning in exchange for working the Challenges in the afternoon. You’ll be in an indexed class for T&S/recording purposes but divided up across run groups as necessary.

What it is not: ProSolo class competition/points/awards eligible or Solo Nationals work assignments. If you’re in the Finale, this is also not for you, sorry! (You’re going to be busy anyway. )

There are currently 21 spots available. Claim yours here: https://msreg.com/25FINALECWIC

• Don’t Forget to Register for the Women on Track Brunch!

Ladies! If you’re going to be at Solo Nationals on Monday, September 1, come to the Women on Track Brunch sponsored by Mazda! From 10am to 12pm, gather with your fellow Women on Track to chat, make some new friends, and win some prizes! You don’t have to be competing in Solo Nats to attend, just register here so we know you’re coming!

• Reminder: Course walk wristbands

If you need approval for course walk accommodations, please fill out the request form before 3:00 pm Central on Thursday, August 28 for pre-approval by a Chief Steward. 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 Registration. After 3:00 pm Central on August 28, any requests for accommodation will need to be directed to the Chief Steward on site.

• Early Arrival

The Airpark has helped us secure an Early Arrival area for 2025, off of NW 38th & Air Park Rd. To access, please turn onto Air Park Rd and then left onto NW 36th St to then circle into the parking lot. Please DO NOT BLOCK the roll up door on the building.

As always, the area is first-come, first-served, but please be considerate of your fellow competitors and park in a way to maximize opportunity. If it is full, you will have to find another area, outside of the Airpark, in which to stage.

We have been given access to the boxed area and no more. Do not park outside of the area – violators will be towed. Do not block any streets or intersections.

And most importantly, be respectful of the businesses around you (and in the Airpark). They are still working while we are hanging out in our concrete beach.

• Friday, August 29 Gate Opening @ 8:00 am

Early event arrival plans are going to be very similar to the past couple of years. Prior to 2017, we had complaints about traffic congestion, particularly early on Friday with people lining up to enter the site right at opening and some security concerns. In order to alleviate these concerns, and be better neighbors to other tenants, we are continuing with the rules for early arrival. Please follow these rules and assist us in maintaining a smooth opening operation each year.

1. There is no waiting at the gate for it to open on Friday morning. No exceptions. Please do not even approach the gate prior to 8:00 am on Friday morning. You have a reserved parking spot - nobody is going to beat you there.
2. There is no parking/waiting on any street on the airport property. Of course, if the gate is open, and you're in line, that's OK, but seriously, forming a line and blocking an entire lane is not acceptable.
3. If you arrive prior to 8:00 am on Friday, please plan to find a place to hang out prior to Gate Open.
4. You may see authorized setup people coming and going through the gate prior to 8:00 am on Friday. If you're not one of these people, you're not going to get in the gate. No exceptions. No, not you either. Sorry. Do not try to talk your way in. Seriously, Airport Security is only a phone call away.
5. If you are blocking a street prior to 8:00 am, you may be asked to move immediately.
6. Nobody and I mean NOBODY is permitted to enter or exit the site except at Gate 41. Any transgressions on this rule are a security violation and will be dealt with severely. We have cameras. We see all.

We’re ready to Rock Out, but we really don’t want to be bouncers. We must, however, continue to keep this situation under control. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

• Reminder: Solo Nationals Event Supps Posted

Don’t forget that Event Supps have been posted. You can find them on the event page and by direct link here: https://www.scca.com/downloads/77125. As always, these contain important information, including but not limited to things like:

• 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 and competitors should have the proper tools available in the grid for removal and reinstallation of said components, ie a jack and necessary tools for removal & jack stands to support the raised vehicle) 
• protest & appeals procedures (including Sportity password for filing electronically)

Make sure to read through them so there are no surprises once you arrive on-site.

• Speaking of Impound Procedures and Compliance Checks…

The following categories will be required to remove a front and rear wheel from one side of the vehicle after completion of competition runs on the first day (Tuesday/Thursday) for the class:

• Street
• Street Touring
• CSX & CSM

As a reminder, please come to grid (both Ladies and Open classes) prepared for these compliance checks with jack, jackstands, and wheel removal tools.

In addition, the following classes will be subject to inspections:

• B Mod – rear wing max height
• F Mod – max track width
   
• Trailer Jail

Want to maximize your paddock space? Consider dropping your trailer off in Trailer Jail after unloading. You won’t need it for a couple of days at least. This year the trailer jail will again be located at the very back of the paddock. Please just remember to park in an orderly manner so that others can also park or retrieve their trailers as needed.

• Can’t make it? Don’t forget to cancel.

While I hope that this doesn’t apply to you, if you find that you won’t be able to make it to Lincoln after all, please let us know as soon as possible. The sooner you can let us know, the more accurate we can make the entry list and the worker pool. You can request cancellation on MotorsportReg or send Tracy an email at tlewis@scca.com. The last day to cancel and receive a refund (less $100 cancellation fee) for those that registered before July 30 is August 29 @7pm Central. After that, no refund will be processed.

Safe travels & we'll see you soon!
