Tire Rack SCCA Solo Nationals Resets Record
Image
This year’s 46th running of the Tire Rack SCCA Solo Nationals has reset the event record for the number of participants to cross the start line on one of two courses constructed September 4-7 at Lincoln AirPark in Nebraska.
The Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) record book will show that 1,375 drivers participated in the 2018 Solo Nationals, beating the previous record set in 2017 by 58 competitors. And of those 1,375 drivers, nearly 240 were first-time competitors at the year-end competition.
After a week of rain and shine, including one day that delivered a record-breaking 2.15 inches of rain to Lincoln, a total of 76 winners were crowned across as many car classes. There were 43 class winners named after the first half of the four-day event, and an additional 33 identified by the end of competition Friday. Howard Duncan, SCCA Rally/Solo Senior Director, said that list of winners includes 25 first-time champions.
SCCA Solo is a competitive motorsport activity where orange traffic cones are used to create a “twisty,” miniature course in large parking lots or unused portions of airports.
One at a time, competitors traverse the temporary circuit to see who can be quickest without hitting any cones or going off course. Drivers range from those using daily commuter cars to professional racers wheeling purpose-built vehicles including race karts.
