The 2019 SCCA Solo National Championships was a wet and wild one. Heavy rain fell in Indianola, IA just as the competition in 3rd heat began causing the dirt to turn into slippy mud causing very tricky conditions.

The 2019 SCCA Solo National Championships in the book and it was a good one. It was the first year in quite awhile that somehow managed to miss any significant rainfall during competition which made for some extra grippy courses.

More…2018 SCCA Solo National Championship week was an interesting one. Tuesday was WET and with nearly 1400 competitors the action went late into the evening and even into the next day. The rain made for some fun photos, I guess that makes up for how miserable it was to stand out there all day. And luckily, all of my equipment survived the day! I took a lot of photos, A LOT. Over 17,000 from all 4 days, almost every heat on both courses and every class have been posted in the 2018 SCCA Solo Nationals photo gallery. More…
Sandblast rally takes place in early March every year in Cheraw, SC and although not the first event on the NASA Rallysport calendar, is the first non winter rally in the US every year. There is always a little extra excitement in the air around this event as everyone gets to shake off the cabin fever of a long cold winter and show off all their shiny new toys! Sandblast will always be special to me as I got my first rally experience at Sandblast 3 years ago and thanks to some amazing people in the rally community have been on one crazy adventure after another ever since! To that point, who am I?
Hello GotCone readers! My name is Brian Katz. I am an engineer out of Chattanooga, TN by day and amature race car driver and mechanic by night. My normal rally gig is crew for River City Rally Team. Our driver and fearless leader Michael Hooper introduced me to rally with a trip to Sandblast and since that first trip 4 years ago that ended with two broken e30’s, we have traveled all over the country, winning a NASA eastern 2WD championship in 2015, and a Rally America central region 2WD championship in 2016! Last season Hooper decided a new weapon was needed to chase national level trophies. Given his experience with Toyota products and our desire to build something unique, we decided to build the first Lexus IS350 rally car! Beverly debuted last season at Black River Stages and won the 2 wheel drive class! Rally in the 100 Acre Wood will be our first event of this season as a team and we are hard at work finishing preparing for another exciting season, join now and start playing online today!

Another September, another SCCA Solo National Championship week and more records broken. The turn out at 2017 SCCA TireRack Solo National Championships set yet another record, topping 1300 competitors. I myself set a new record taking over 20,000 photos between the National Championship and the ProSolo Finale. Photos from nearly every heat is available in the photo gallery. I did miss heats 4 and 5 on Thursday and Friday, due to competing in STU which ran heat 5.
