Weekly Bulletin, July 31 edition

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 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 August 2 (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 August 2 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 ensures that there is space for you (especially if your class change is across Run Days) and 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.

  • Group Paddock Registration closing

Group paddock registration will close at 12:01 am Central on August 3 (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 3rd, 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. All items can also be found on the Solo Nationals event page at scca.com.

  1. RV Rentals: If you’re looking to stay on site, check out our Member Benefit through Racetrack RV Rentals. SCCA Members can save 10% on bookings up to $500 or get $50 off $500 or more. You’ll need to log into your Member Account Portal for details!
  2. RV Servicing: Our porta potty vendor has agreed to provide RV drainage services again this year. Call Port-A-Johns at 402-965-9700 and ask for Jenny to arrange services. $40 to drain, cash is preferred but they can take credit cards (add a 3% fee). Timing will vary depending on their schedule and you will have to handle refilling on your own.
  3. Golf Carts: They’re still hard to come by after the great sell-off of 2020. If you are interested in securing your own golf cart for the week, the two vendors that we’re aware of are Nebraska Golf and Turf (402-466-6222) and Buresh Golf and Equipment (402-499-9806).
  4. Group/Large Tents: If your Region/Group is securing a tent, either rental or otherwise, for 2023 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
