Good morning from Nationals! We've each completed one run so far--I picked up cones and Eric had a DNF, but the car is a blast and I'm staying optimistic. Run two in a few minutes.

ICYMI, our Tom Suddard is co-driving a Club Spec Mustang with Eric Sienkiewicz at the Tire Rack SCCA Solo Nats. (And yes, we still have stickers.)
[Come see us at the SCCA Solo Nats. We’ll have stickers.]
Since we’re at the Lincoln Airpark, and that crew includes contributor Rupert Berrington, we’re going to share some of the scenes during the course of the event. Follow along as the week progresses.

Go that way, really fast....
Success! We both put down clean second runs, with me landing mid-pack in the class and Eric in 4th. Our car is down about 30 horsepower (no tune), so we're content.
And done! After day 1, Eric's in 4th and I'm 13th. Now we park the car in grid for impound, giving competitors the chance to scrutinize things.

And, wow, 56 cars in XA. Happy to see people throwing their hats into the ring, so to speak. Huge variety of makes and models, too.
While competitors inspect each others cars, there's the persistent hum of cordless multi-tools. Everybody is cleaning other people's rubber off their tires.
When you walk the course tonight, be prepared to get OPR on your shoes. :)

Actually Tu/We won't be so bad. It's cool and a lot of the big car Hoosier classes run Th/Fr. If it warms up anyone walking Thursday afternoon needs to say goodbye to whatever they're wearing.
Thanks for the updates, keep them coming! And congrats on the strong outing so far.
And I had no idea OPR was that bad at Lincoln, wow.
If you feel willing/able to take pics of FSP cars, that's my request. Love the cars in that class. :)
