2014 SCCA Solo Nationals/Pro Solo Finale thread
 

Early registration for the Solo Nationals ends August 1st and then they jack
up the entry fee. So you have about three weeks to decide whether you want
to join 1100+ of your closest autocrossing buddies for a fun filled week in
beautiful Lincoln Nebraska! :D

Come for the competition, come for the cool cars, come for the friendships you
make, come for the paddock parties, come for the unpredictable weather.*
Just come!

The Twins have a good number of entries in CS and STX but I know of a few
people who have not registered yet.

The pilgrimage to the Solo Nationals is a bucket list must do for any autocrosser
and there is no time like the present.

I'll be there bringing up the rear in CS. I hope to see you there too.

(*) Nobody goes to lincoln for the weather. I just threw that in for grins 'n giggles...

In for the CS battle!

1100?

Typical turnout for nationals is 1100+ entries. We haven't hit 1200 yet, but we've been close.

holy fuck

wouldn't want to be the last guy on THAT list.

It is unofficially the largest motorsport event in the US. Probably pretty high up there worldwide.

I know a group of our Canadian talent goes down there, and they said it was quite large, I just never paid attention to the actual number.


that's pretty amazing.


I'll probably make the trek in 2015, I want to see where the c-stock/stx and street/r-comp philosophies end up going.

In for STX #8

i will be there competing in STX

#12 in CS

Good luck to all. Maybe I'll make the adventure one day.

Very curious to see how the twins do in CS and STX this year.

It actually IS officially the largest Motorsport competition in the world based on entries. Right now the plan is to be in town Sunday night through Thursday AM.

Registered in CS, my codriver sounds like he is going to jump ship to ESP to go play with his new-to-him Camaro instead.

I'll be there in C-Street. #87

Looks like we are going to have a mini-CS competition over at the practice course on Monday! Holy wow I think half the class is registered for at least 1 set of 4 runs!

In for mini-nats as well. Of course, I'm gonna sandbag with that many people watching :)

heh


do you think psychological warfare works when you've only got 3 runs to get it done?

I suppose when you're at the highest level you can afford to play mind games, I generally have enough trouble keeping my mind focused let alone trying to Jedi-fuck someone else. :)

Just joking, of course. I only know one speed - as fast as I can go. That, plus Spokes does a practice course national champion thing every year (jacket and all). I lost last year by 0.0xx :(

Still on the fence for Nats for me this year. I have school starting (last Semester) on the same days I would be running. not sure If I can afford to miss class especially since attendance counts. Got emails into my instructors. Having done 7 National events this year..(by the time Nats rolls around) I would love to see if I could win.. We'll see

Bill

I picked a time slot with no other CS competitors. ;)

Hopefully I can make it into the Pro finale though, that'll be my real practice. Monday is my birthday so if I have a very good night I won't be very useful most of the day...

I will be there for the Pro Finale, and Nationals in STX


#19/119


Simmons

Don't know if I am going yet.

I haven't registered yet, but I'm really considering going. I'm in South Florida. Not looking forward to a 1000+ mile drive.

#121 STX with co-driver (another darn GT-Academy finalist). Coming for those trophy spots. :)

It is a good time and something everyone should do at least once.

So I've heard!

Signed up for SSR in a C6 Grand Sport. This gonna be fun. Looking at the list, CS has quite a few entries, great to see! This is yours to lose John, don't screw it up! Trying not to have any expectations for running in SSR, but I know that's hard to avoid. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. :D

I don't know about that, but I'm definitely going to be ready :popcorn:

jeez, as if John's head wasn't swollen enough already! :bellyroll:

Now signed up in CS as well, #81

Remember those mind games discussed above? It's never too early to start...even if you're in a different class. :thumbsup:

I'll be there, stinking up the back of the HUGE pack.

I'd kill for a trophy though..

I'll be there, in CS. Looking forward to meeting some of you guys.

I just got an email that Paddock reservations open tomorrow.


I'm not going, but thought y'all might want to know.

#86 SM, first time out to the Nats.

Just signed up... STX here I come...

Well, my car is up for sale.

If I still have it then, I'll be driving it at nationals, if not... TBD.

Going back to the Solstice?

Mine will be up for sale post nationals too, if anyone knows anyone interested in a prepped CS car in the southeast (since everyone here already has a car in this game haha)

Whaaaaat?! Why?

Also, signed up. #14 STX.

I want to play with some quicker cars. I miss torque and moving to a C5Z is much cheaper than dumping money into a car while it further depreciates.
