New Solo Schedule Enhances 2010 Solo Triad Opportunities
TOPEKA, Kan. (Nov. 20, 2009) -- The list of "major" events on
the Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Tour will grow from two to three in
2010, with the July 3 -- 4 event in Peru, Ind., now assigned the title
of Northern States Championship. The addition of a third "major"
National Tour event will give more Soloists the opportunity to vie for
the elusive Solo Triad Award.
The new Northern States Championship is expected to rotate annually
between the Peru National Tour and the Toledo National Tour.
Additionally, the Eastern States Championship in Blytheville, Ark., has
been renamed the Southern States Championship. The Eastern States
Championship name will be retired. The Western States Championship has
moved further west in 2010, from Vail, Colo., to Wendover, Utah, making
it more accessible to West Coasters. Conveniently, all three
"majors" are on concrete sites.
The criteria for the Solo Triad Award remains the same; a driver must win
a National Championship, a Divisional Championship and one of the three
"major" National Tour events, all in the same class. Only four
drivers were able to capture the Solo Triad Award in its inaugural year:
Michelle Seeling (Street Touring Ladies), Mark Madarash (E Street
Prepared), Jeff Cashmore (D Modified) and Clemens Burger (B Modified).
