Five events are in the books, and with another five still to go, the 2025 Solo Championship picture is starting to take shape. Some drivers have pulled ahead, but in many classes the margins are razor-thin — meaning the second half of the season is set up for fireworks.   Street Touring Showdown BST The battle in BST couldn’t be closer. Eli Drennan leads with 72 points, but Matt Wienk is only 3 points back at 69. With both logging four events so far, this one looks destined to come down to the final rounds. David Hurzeler sits close behind, keeping the pressure on. Muscle Car Madness CAMS & CAMT The CAMS field is one of the biggest, with five drivers showing strong attendance. Garry Walsh has jumped out front at 82 points, but with Chris Jones, Robert Babicki, and Matt Horn all trading results, the class is far from settled. In CAMT, Dylan Barnes holds the lead on 76 points, while Cliff Thomas (48) and Barry Harley (43) are still within striking distance if they can close the gap in the back half. Street Classes CS It’s been a two-way fight in CS so far, with Court Fiore holding a slim 9-point edge over Scott Lewis (65 to 56). With half the season left, one big event could flip the standings. ES The ES drivers have been trading fast times all year. Joey Gross leads with 93 points, but Devron Steele is just 9 points back at 84 — both with five events under their belts. James Graham rounds out the podium at 50, and could climb higher with strong second-half runs. GST In GST, Dustin Jones is on top at 76, but both Nathan Heffron (59) and Christopher Franklin (56) are within reach. A strong outing in the next few events could shuffle this order quickly. Newcomers on the Rise Novice (N) The Novice class is shaping up nicely. William Breece has a small advantage at 60 points, but Santiago Rodriguez has run all five events and sits at 44. Consistency could prove just as valuable as raw speed in this group. The X-FIles X The Pro (X) class has been the largest and most competitive so far, with nine active drivers. Evan Williams is leading with 69 points, but Jason Houghton is right there with 63 — just 6 points back. The pack behind them is crowded, with multiple drivers fighting for podium spots. XA has seen a big push from Travis Patterson, who sits at 89 points after five events. The battle behind him is wide open, with Brady Sutton, Michael Donovan, and several others still in range. XB has been led by Marquette LaForest on 82 points, but Randall Farless (57) and Jeffrey Ball (26) are keeping the contest alive heading into the second half.   The Story So Far   At the halfway point, the closest battles are in BST (3 pts), CS (9 pts), ES (9 pts), and X (6 pts) — each separated by just a handful of points. With five races still ahead, no one can afford to let up. Every clean run, every point scored, and every cone avoided could make the difference between lifting a trophy or watching from second place. The stage is set — the second half of the 2025 season should be just as thrilling as the first!   See the full results HERE

Per the 2025 SCCA Solo Rules, the following helmets are allowed: 4.3.1 Helmets Helmets meeting the following standards must be worn while on course: Snell Memorial Foundation standards EA 2016, SA2020, SA2015, SA2010, SAH2010, M2020D, M2020R, M2015, M2010, K2020, K2015, K2010; SFIstandards 31.1/2020, 31.1/2015, 31.1/2010, 41.1/2020, 41.1/2015, 41.1/2010; FIA standards 8859-2020, 8860-2018, 8860-2018-ABP, 8859-2015, 8860-2010.   A SNELL helmet rating is a certification issued by the Snell Memorial Foundation, which sets high safety standards for helmets used in motorsports, cycling, and other high-impact activities. The foundation updates its standards every five years, ensuring that certified helmets meet the latest safety advancements and testing methodologies. According to the SNELL SA2025 Schedule:   October 1, 2025 – Snell SA2025 will take effect, the first SA2025 labeled helmets may be advertised, displayed and sold as of this date. There should be no SA2025 labeled headgear or claims for such until this date.   If your helmet has a SNELL SA2010 (or equivalent age) certification, it will no longer be valid for SCCA competition after 2025.

From the SCCA:   February 1, 2025   The Solo Events Board (SEB) has removed the Vitour P1 from the exclusion list for Street and Street Touring Categories, making both the P1 and the P1+ eligible for Solo competition in all categories. This news, of course, is for immediate release and will also appear in the next issue of Fastrack.   https://www.scca.com/announcements/847-vitour-p1-approved-for-street-and-street-touring-categories

The 2025 SCCA Solo Rules have arrived with a new set of classifications: the Street Touring Category. In general, the Street Touring Category moves the legacy "ST" classes (STH, STR, etc.) to newly formed classes that more closely match the naming conventions of the Street and Street Prepared classes. Not all cars formerly in one class move to a single new class however; some are split among two or more new classes: for example, most of STR moved to CST, but the ND Miata moved from STR to AST. The full Street Touring rules can be found in Section 14 of the 2025 SCCA Solo Rules, with specific vehicle classifications in Appendix A. If your previous class name started with "ST" then it's time to check Appendix A, read thru the rules in Section 14, and if you're still as confused as I am, email our Solo Chair for clarification! In general: Former Class   New Class SST → SST *STR → AST STU → BST *STR → CST STX → DST STS → EST STH → GST

Our 2024 Solo Championship is complete! Total points with drops have been calculated and you can see the final results here. Be on the lookout for our 2024 Awards Banquet announcement and our 2025 Solo Championship schedule soon! Congratulations to all the winners!

Every first Saturday of the month is Nashville Cars & Coffee... and the TRSCCA is there! Come by our tent to see some cool cars, ask questions, or just hang out. See you there!   https://www.facebook.com/nashvillecarsncoffee

So you've just finished your first autocross event and you're hooked! Time to buy a helmet! But where? What kind? The good news is you don't need an expensive helmet. As long as it carries a current certification it's good. As of mid-2023, that's a minimum of SNELL 2010. (a list of legal certifications can be found here) Sometimes older (but still legal) certified helmets can be found at a discount, but keep in mind you'll have to replace it sooner so it may end up costing more in the long run.    Helmets generally cost around $200 to over $5000(!), the main difference being features and comfort. If you're only using it for Autocross then you won't be wearing it more than a few minutes at a time and you'll be fine with anything as long as it fits properly. If you plan on using it for Track events as well, then you'll be wearing it for much longer periods of time and features like lighter-weight materials, HANS posts, and even ventilation/drink hookups may be worth spending a little more. For Track use get the most comfortable helmet you can still afford.   Where do you buy one? Ideally you'd try on several helmets to check out their comfort and ensure a perfect fit, but the Nashville area is rather limited in vendors. The Winding Road Racing Store at NCM Motorsports park has a few, so if you're attending an event there call ahead and see what's available. Of course there's lots of vendors online; the SCCA has the Track Night in America Gear Store and can help guide you through the fitting process.    Of course there's usually no better recommendation than a personal one, so if you have questions about helmets or need more advice, ask in our Facebook Group and you're sure to get some good responses.    See you at the next event!
