2016 Solo National Championship roll call - who's going?
 

Solo Nats in Lincoln, NE is less than 2 weeks away! Setting new records this year with over 1300 competitors :bow:

Who is all is going and what are your expectations? We have huge STX and CS classes (our own heats again) and I presume huge turnouts for the twins.

I'll be getting there on Monday in the early afternoon to get some TnT runs in. Having only 60 runs on my FRS, I would be happy to be near, or in the back end of the trophies. Last year I was 36th I think out of the 63 in my STX e36 BMW. Should be a blast..

See ya there :burnrubber:

I'm arriving Friday, I've got test and tune time reserved for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I only installed coils a month ago so my expectations are to gain setup data for next year and to drink beer by the liter.

Last I checked 41 of 85 CS drivers and 47 of 75 STX drivers were in twins. I don't think there's been something like this since the NB Miata days (see CS results from '05 if you're curious).

If you come find me in paddock, I will probably have beer to spare or trade.

My co-driver and I get in on Sunday afternoon and are signed up for the Evo Test-and-Tune on Monday.

We're running in STX. Mid pack finish would be great! lol

Sweet, sounds good!

Nice, I did that little school for my first ProSolo earlier this year, definitely worth it.

i'll be in car 19/119 STX, I'll be driving the 119#.

I'm at the other end of the line. 90/190, driving 190.

I did my first Evo school last weekend, figured the test and tune would be a nice complement to that.

Arriving on Sunday and t&t on Monday for my codriver and I.

#86/186 CS

I'll be in paddock row #12, spots 1-4 somewhere with the rest of the Hawaii region folks!

28/128 CS.

#8 STX driving Solo. I think I will be 1st car off in our heat.

21/121 CS in an under equipped BRZ. I'm mainly coming to announce. Come by the ATL tent for the beer swap.

When is that? I heard Canada tent was doing something Monday night, are you guys Wednesday?

So I guess paddock registration happened...7pm on a Friday night...

We are in 22/B/4.

Hoping to do better this year. 88/188 STX

#93 CS

looking to grab that coveted 22nd place trophy! ;)

I'm going for the 29th place trophy myself.

I'll be there from Saturday-Saturday. I won't be competing in my FR-S though.
#76 STR
I can't wait to watch the CS show though!

An S2000 again? Watch out for those ignition switches if so :p

I'll be arriving Sunday, doing some T&T runs on Monday. I just signed up for the EVO one, seemed like the best deal. If I get there early enough will try to do some on Sunday as well.

#55 STX, I'll be in the ATL paddock area.

I'll be making the long 3-hour trip Monday morning. #126 CS. Hoping I do much better this time in Lincoln than the previous two visits this year.

That's a nice and easy drive! Takes me 7 hours towing from Denver, also not too bad.

Ha, 24 hours here. We're not towing. should be fine?

That's a drive! Have a safe trip :)

Google Maps is showing 19 hours here. Driving the FRS there solo + dog copilot.

24 hours for us as well and we are towing.

The same S2000 with a bit more power. This time I won't bump the seat forward that extra notch...

Group picture! I asked whoever runs the SoloMatters Facebook page (Randall?) if they would help gather us for a group CS photo-op, and they said that they were going to do that for all the large classes.

Yep that is usually a thing.

Last year I missed out...I think it was cause I had a BMW at the time :lol:

...just not on the bleachers. We did that last year for CS and the bleachers felt like they were going to break.

Would make a good picture!

This will be my first trip to Nationals. Can't wait for all the fun, shenanigans and a little racing too! I'm also looking forward to placing faces with forum names!

#80 CS FRS.

#93/193 STX. Arriving sometime Sunday.

We've got 4 practice slots on Monday. Only had the car for about 8 weeks (bought it prepped though...it was Don Slevin's car) and just put different rear springs in it, so we need the seat time for sure.

We'll be there!

#70/170 STX
#95/195 STX
#70 STX-L

Packed and ready to go (I leave tomorrow.)

4 tires, jack, stands, tools, ramps, spares, clothes, dog stuff, dog.

That's impressive packing! Have a safe trip.

This will be my 2nd time at Nats, I'm Jordan (#142) and my codriver, Bernie (#42), is joining me this year. I was less than a second out of the trophies last year...hoping to close that gap and trophy this year. I've been in a bit of a slump locally for the last couple events...hopefully I can get out of it at nats!

We'll be in the "Little Minnesota" paddock area at the end of rows 16/17 on the entry side. I think we're around 40 total from MN this year, not quite as many as last year (48), but still a good showing. Feel free to stop by our tent to enjoy/trade beer!

Hmm.. I actually manage to fit 4 wheels/tires with the back seat still folded up so I can utilize a little bit more of the trunk space. Looks like we cram a similar amount of stuff into our cars.

Interesting, I never tried!

Dont forget #95 STX-L, too!!! :)

You can fit them up/down instead of flat. Can just barely get 4 in there and still have your driver seat reasonably placed. That's how I got to/from Crow's with 2 people in the car.

Shea and I will be arriving there Saturday afternoon. #69 and #169. I look forward to meeting many of you and seeing a few that I know, like Justin :)

Good Luck Everyone!
