NWOR Member's in the Trophies at Solo Nats!
The 2025 Tire Rack Solo National Championships took place this past September with the theme of Rock and Roll! NWOR participated in a type of food festival called Battle of the Bites. This is where different regions associated with the SCCA served local delicacies for everyone to try. NWOR proudly handed out Tony Packo's Hot Dogs along with local beer while explaining that pickled peppers on a hot dog is normal. Our region was very successful at Solo Nationals this year with 23 members taking home a trophy. Check out the list below and congratulations to our winners!
