This includes the area used for June聙聶s National Tour event plus most of the area used for the ProSolo left course.

We found the people associated with SCCA, to be kind, friendly and most of all, professionals. Having an SCCA event in Blytheville gives our people something else exciting to do and adds to the quality of life here. We look forward to having the SCCA back.聙聺 Soloists will be pleased to know that all of the SCCA posted contingency programs for the Solo National Tour will continue through the Tri-State Championship event.
