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. It's gonna be a righteous week, for sure! This is the first 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.

  • Price Increase

The registration fee will increase to $325 at 12:01 am Central on August 10 (this Wednesday!). Take a look at the entry list and remind any friends whose names are missing that they need to get registered! The cancellation fee will also increase from $50 to $100.

  • Class Changes

Make sure to update your registration as soon as you know of a class change OR if you are not currently registered in the correct class. This ensures that you are in the correct place and you will not have to make a change on site in Lincoln, making your check-in process quicker. Doing so also ensures that the run/work order split between courses and heats is more accurate, which is imperative to event flow.

  • Car/Number/Car Information

Review your car number and/or car information to be sure that the vehicle you are registered in is the vehicle you will be running in Lincoln. This will also ensure that you do not have to make any changes on-site in Lincoln and your on-site check-in process will be quicker.

  • Mailing Address

Just like the past few years, the trophies at Nationals will be handed out without the names on them. The plates will be mailed out after the event to the address that you have listed in your MotorsportReg account. Please login to your account and check that your address is current to ensure there are no delays in getting your engraved plate to put on your trophy. While you're in there, a quick check to make sure your emergency contact is still correct is never a bad idea.

  • Individual Paddock Space Registration is Opening

Registration for Individual Paddock Spaces will open on Thursday, August 11. 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. Group Paddocks are being finalized in order to provide accurate availability.

  • Don’t Forget to Register for Contingency

Contingency registration for SCCA’s gold and silver level administered contingency programs are a separate registration from your Nationals entry and can be found in your Member Account Portal. Remember, National Tour registration DOES NOT include Solo Nationals - you must register separately every year. 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
  • Minor Waivers

In the state of Nebraska, the age of majority is 19. Therefore any competitor under the age of 19 will need to have a minor waiver completed.

If a minor’s membership hard card has “Minor waiver on file” on the back, just show the hard card to the waiver workers. Minors can then receive a Nationals wristband, or they can display their membership (hard) card on their person; either needs to be visible anytime on the Nationals site.

If a minor competitor (driver) and/or worker does not have an annual waiver on file with the SCCA National office noted on the back of the membership (hard) card, then a minor waiver will need to be filled out with the signature of BOTH parents/guardians and the minor witnessed by the adult waiver worker. A wristband can then be issued to the minor. (A waiver with only one parent/guardian signature is not a valid document unless the one parent/guardian legally has sole custody. An affidavit of sole custody can be signed by the parent/guardian and witnessed by the waiver worker.)

  • A minor waiver is not necessary for minors under 12 years of age; they are not permitted to be in active “hot” areas per the 2022 Solo Rules section 1.3.2.O (page 26).
  • A minor waiver is not necessary for minors 12 to 17 years old but they are not permitted in active “hot” areas without a minor waiver completed as stated previously.

You are highly encouraged to take care of any minor waivers (or annual SCCA waivers for those over 19) via our new electronic process so that you'll be good to go once you get on site. Find the instructions to do so here.
