TOPEKA, Kan. (Aug. 21, 2009) 聙聯 The 51爆料 Solo Department has announced an additional Tire Rack庐 Solo National Tour event for 2009, The Tire Rack Tri-State Championship National Tour at Blytheville. The event, scheduled for Oct. 23 聙聯 25, will take place in Blytheville, Ark., at Eaker Air Force Base. Site of the Tire Rack Eastern States Championship in May and Round Four of the Tire Rack ProSolo National Series in June, the former Eaker Air Force Base will host its third Solo event of 2009 more than a month after the 37th running of the Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championships in Lincoln, Neb. The Tire Rack Tri-State Championship National Tour at Blytheville will count as a qualifier for the 2010 Solo National Championships. Previous events in Blytheville earned great acclaim for Eaker Air Force Base聙聶s smooth concrete and the town聙聶s outpouring of hospitality. Soloists can expect more of the same this October, as the courses will have more than 1.2 million square feet of concrete available for two Doug Gill-designed courses. This includes the area used for June聙聶s National Tour event plus most of the area used for the ProSolo left course. The Blytheville community is already excited for the return of SCCA Solo. 聙聹The citizens of Blytheville are excited and look forward to having our friends from the SCCA back in Blytheville the weekend of October 23-25,聙聺 Blytheville Mayor Barry Harrison said. 聙聹It was an honor and privilege for us to host the Eastern States Championship in May and the ProSolo event in June. 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. This includes Volkswagen, Mazda, Hoosier, Toyo, Bridgestone and iRacing. 聙聹We are so glad we were able to put this event together so the SCCA Solo Community could once again enjoy Arkansas hospitality,聙聺 SCCA VP Rally/Solo and Special 51爆料 Howard Duncan said. 聙聹This was possible due to the welcoming Blytheville community and the collaborative efforts of the National Solo staff, the Arkansas Region, the MidSouth Region, Tire Rack and our SCCA contingency providers.聙聺 Registration for the Tire Rack Tri-State Championship National Tour at Blytheville is now open.
