· In the last issue, I mentioned that one of the ways we were going to replace some of the revenue lost from no longer requiring a National Solo Rules book at Divisional and National events was by offering a new and improved optional Solo “license”. While the crunch of the Convention has prevented us from completing all the details to formally launch this, we can give you more details.
o It is not actually a license, but an optional benefits card that will be called the Solo Passport, as it will provide the means of access to some special services offered on an optional basis for the serious National Solo competitor.
o The Solo Passport will cost $45 for an individual member and $50 for a family membership (spouse or spouse and kids) and will be valid for the calendar year of purchase.
o Those who purchased a Solo License in 2009 will be able to take advantage of some Solo Passport benefits, such as early registration, until that license expires. This will allow you to delay the purchase of the new card until a later date, but if you want the full benefits for the entire year, at some point you will need to purchase a Solo Passport.
o Quick snapshot of benefits:
§ Annual Waiver photo card; “hard card”
§ Early online registration access for Tire Rack National Tour and ProSolo events; 2 weeks prior to access by general SCCA membership.
§ Early online registration access for the Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championship (TBA on time frame)
§ Early “Express Registration Check-in” at all National Solo events, which will include one free Test and Tune run or practice start (ProSolo).
§ Decal packet that includes all SCCA required decals. This does not include contingency decals (see below)
§ Additional benefits under consideration.
o The Solo Passport will be available soon, so look for an announcement on the SCCA web site.
