Howdy Y’all!

Did you miss me? (Do NOT answer that question.)

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 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/Cancellation Fee Increase

The registration fee will increase to $325 at 12:01 am Central on July 31 (this Wednesday!). The cancellation fee will also increase from $50 to $100. If you have any friends who are still not on the waitlist, make sure they’re on the list before Wednesday to take advantage of the lower price. Any registrations after the July 31 increase will also not be able to receive a refund.

• Class Changes

Please email Tracy Lewis at tlewis@scca.com to discuss making any class changes as soon as possible. Taking care of this sooner rather than later helps us make sure 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. If you need to make changes here, also shoot an email to Tracy Lewis at tlewis@scca.com. This will 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.

As you’re checking your MotorsportReg account, take a few moments to check your SCCA Member Account Portal (my.scca.com) as well. Pro tip: You can take care of your SCCA Annual Waiver while you’re there! Here's how to do just that!

• Group Paddock Registration closing

Group paddock registration will close at 12:01 am Central on August 1 (this Thursday). If your group (6+ drivers) is not already in conversation with our Paddock Team, you need to reach out to them ASAP at solopaddock@scca.com. After the 1st, all drivers will need to use the Individual Paddock Registration process to secure a spot.

• Logistics Information

Keep reading for a quick highlight of some logistics details. This information can also be found on the Solo Nationals event page at scca.com if you need to refer back to it later.

1. Golf Carts: The site’s big, y’all. If you are interested in securing your own golf cart for the week, reach out to either Nebraska Golf and Turf (402-466-6222) or Buresh Golf and Equipment (402-499-9806).
2. Group/Large Tents: If your Region/Group is securing a tent, either rental or otherwise, for 2024 Solo Nationals, please remember that you will also have to secure a tent permit from the city of Lincoln for any tents over 400sqft. This is a city requirement. You can find more information regarding tent permits and the application here: https://www.lincoln.ne.gov/City/Departments/Building-Safety/Online-Permit-Applications-and-Inspections/Application-Forms-and-Permits/Tents-andor-Membrane-Structures-Permit

• ProSolo Finale Registration Begins!

For my ProSolo friends, here’s your reminder that registration for the Finale is also opening soon.

• Tier 1 (34+ points in your Finale class) will open Wednesday, July 31 at 3pm Central.
• Tier 2 (27 or more points OR 3 or more events in your Finale class) will open Wednesday, August 7 at 3pm Central.
