Note from the RE This is the first year since 2016 that I haven’t made the trip out to Solo Nationals in Lincoln, Nebraska… While I can say that I absolutely did not miss the 40+ hours in the car this year, I did miss being there. We had a good group of Susquehanna members go out and compete, and a few winning trophies. Nationals is an event unlike any other! Picture a 70 second course (for slow E
Street cars) on the grippiest surface you’ll ever drive on, with a course designed by some of the best drivers in the country. The scale of the event is also just crazy...picture paddocking over a mile from where the competition course is! If you see any of our members, make sure to congratulate them on their jobs well done!

Susquehanna Represents at Summit Hillclimb
Our Last Two Autocross EventsI can’t believe that it’s September already, and that means that the season is soon coming to an end. Thankfully, we have two more events in October to round out the season. Our next event will be a double header, points events 10 and 11 on October 2. The last event of the season will be a single points event in the morning, followed by our 3rd Annual Mini Match Tour. We’re going to allow everyone to participate this year, so we hope you stay for the entire day. You can register for the October 2 event in the links above, and registration for the final event will be will be open soon. Keep your eyes out for that online and on Facebook.

Some 2021 Solo Nats StatsSEP 9, 2021 — Competition at the Tire Rack Solo Nationals Championship is certainly a numbers game. One after another, drivers take their turn on course to set their best time, and positions can sometimes be decided by only a few milliseconds. But with nearly 1,130 entries, some other interesting numbers pop up each year. Keep in mind, however, the data below is compiled from a pre-event entry list. Numbers aren’t “official” until the event has concluded and the
data can be tallied.
2021 RallyCross Nationals Registration is OpenAUG 10 2021 — SCCA’s national championship season is rapidly approaching, and that includes the 2021 RallyCross Nationals set to take place October 15-17 in Chillicothe, Ohio. Registration for that event will be conducted online in a “tiered” manner this year with the process beginning August 18 for a select set of competitors. The event will be capped at 125 entries.
'21 CAM Challenge Fast NotesSEP 10, 2021 — The Tire Rack SCCA CAM Challenge Invitational kicked off on Thursday morning as 80 competitors across 3 classes took to the grid to determine who had the fastest CAM car in the country. The venue was a modified version of the Solo Nationals Test N Tune course. The event ran start to finish with competitors from all three CAM classes were whittled down by their fastest run to one winner in each category. Those top drivers then compete for the best time, in a three-car shootout.
