1285 entries... 1350 cap
Should break last year’s 1317 entry record.

Don’t forget to register for test n’ tune runs.
I suspect those will be sold out also.

This year's SCCA Solo Nationals is scheduled Sept 03-07.
The single largest Motorsport participant event in the world.
Registration opened yesterday and today there are 831 competitors registered.
Will a new participant record be set this year? Possibly!
Solo Spec Coupe was elevated to Championship status last week, 42 participants registered.

This is the Big Show...

Last year young Greg Piasta walked away with the $500 1st Place prize monies. Greg's consistency paid off for him.

Again this year, the Challenge formats will reward consistency. Once seeded participants will be running off their individual scratch times against their competitor, not PAX. But don't think you can get away trying to sand bag... 150% penalty factor will be applied against breakout runs, making it very difficult to proceed further in the Challenge.

Attached find the event details. Registration will open soon. Remember event entries will be capped and everyone will participate in one of the Challenges Sunday afternoon.

Although I have not been informed of my exact planning for the Tour weekend, I believe it looks something like this...

Drop Kathy with friends in Kelowna on the way through on Thursday. Be in Packwood late morning Friday. Back to Kelowna Sunday night. Then a week of Island time.

You’ll find the Montana Challenge event 3 & 4 (June 9 & 10) on MotorsportReg. I believe they use SCCA 100db sound as default. Venue is adjacent to the airport & National Guard base so sound is less of an issue. No commercial or residential in the vicinity. Well worth the road trip.

The S7 (450 HP) is classed BS.
Can’t see the RS7 (560 HP) falling into the FS ‘NOC’ V8 catch all.

I believe afternoon 3rd run should have 1 cone. That’s all I saw watching.

Probably should remove Ambrose from rookie scoring.

Placement visibility and continuity between vehicles, along this year’s helmet tech sticker placement continuity,  are necessary for easy grid and start worker verification during events.

I suggest Avery self laminating sheets available at any Staples store. Laminate your tech sticker, then you can tape it to the windshield and remove post event for the street.

ASN Canada FIA National Solosport Regulations Autoslalom
3.4.3. Official Number of Runs
There shall be a minimum of two (2) timed runs for each competitor at each event. There shall be no practice runs for any competitor entered in the event. There shall be a time period for Competitors to have an opportunity to walk the course prior to commencement of the first timed run of the event.

SCCA Solo Rules
7.3 Minimum of Three Runs
Each driver shall be allowed at least three (3) official timed runs per course, subject to severe circumstances beyond the control of the event organizers. Only the fastest official run per course will be scored.

The entire premise of Solo events, both ASN Canada and SCCA, is to score a single quickest time within a limited number of runs on a given course, not allowing pre-running of the course. The club hosts Competition Solo Events, not HPDE. Limited run timing and scoring matters.

Scored run limits benefit all competitors. Seasoned veterans, who travel to Championship style events, hone their focus and skills on fewer number of scored runs. Newer participants better understand the Solo Competition format earlier in their learning curve, preparing them for their first National style event.

This year the club increased the number of classes where points are awarded towards a year end champion. Not just a single club champion, but champions recognized in 6 distinctly different groups. The intent being to broaden the awards base and recognize more individuals and their driving abilities.

So, what's the answer... personally I favor limiting points scored runs to 3, or at the most 4, in the best interests of hosting competitive points scoring events. And I agree that allowing ride-alongs is good for driver development.

The best of both worlds IMHO.

Dissatisfaction with a claim settlement led me ask my insurance broker to explore alternate insurers. This led to disclosure on vehicle use, which was never asked 8 years ago.
