National Tour

If you are looking to experience the best sites, the best courses, and the best competition – either in preparation for Solo Nationals or to see where you stand against the best – The Tire Rack® SCCA Solo® National Tour is for you.

Known as "The Road to Lincoln,” each National Tour event is run in a similar format to the season-ending National Championships in Lincoln Nebraska. National Tour events prepare drivers for their National Championship and typically offer tougher competition than Regional autocross events.

These events average more than 275 drivers at each of the various locations across the country with most of the competitors coming from nearby states. These drivers come together to get a taste of the "Nationals" experience of competition and camaraderie.

National Tour competition takes place over two days with a different course each day, just like Solo Nationals. Drivers get three runs on each course with their best time from each added together for the final class standings. Runs are timed to 1/1000th of a second and knocking a cone down means a penalty of 2 seconds added to that time. All classes at National Tours are the standard Solo classes that you’ll find at Solo Nationals and in the SCCA in the Solo Rulebook.

SCCA Starting Line will be hosting a Starting Line Driver's Edge Experience at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, TN, in conjunction with SCCA's Tire Rack Bristol National Tour. This weekend-long experience is geared toward those new to National Tours. The SCCA Starting Line Driver’s Edge uses a team of successful autocross veterans who remember what it was like the first few times they pulled up to the starting line to make a run on the big stage of national-level competition.

In short, you’ll be given the tools and an explanation of the ins and outs of a Tire Rack National Tour event, arming you with the information to conquer the event without the intimidation factor that comes from doing something new. Our coaches will walk you through the event information page, talk about run/work assignments, teach you how the grid works, what to do at impound, and the information available to you at the driver’s information center.

Most importantly, our championship-level coaches will help you throughout the weekend, checking in to help answer any questions that come up, touching base in grid before your run heat, and providing support and encouragement along the way. Think of them as your big brother or big sister for the weekend!

There is NO CHARGE to take part in the Starting Line Driver's Edge Experience. If you are a driver that is new to National Tours, we encourage you to sign up and take part!

For more information about the Starting Line Driver's Edge, as well as other Starting Line programs, please contact Tracy Lewis at tlewis@scca.com.

You can take part in the Starting Line Driver's Edge program and not the Evo Advantage Driving School and vice versa (or both!). Make sure the correct entries show up in your cart when checking out.

Evolution Performance Driving School will be hosting their Evo Advantage Driving School ahead of the Starting Line Driver's Edge on Friday morning. This school is great for any skill level, from seasoned veterans to the complete novice, and allows participants to get some great seat time as well as instruction before the weekend's competition. Instruction will take place on the event's Test & Tune course and is a scaled-down version of their Phase 1 School. The program will net students a minimum of 12 runs with Evo's team of National-caliber instructors. The Evo Advantage Driving School is not limited to Starting Line Driver's Edge participants, nor do you have to take part in both the School and the Driver's Edge programs if you do not wish.

The Evo Advantage Driving School is limited to 24 students and is $125.00. Two-driver cars are allowed, just make sure to enter the other driver's name in your entry when asked.
