TACOS & TALENT During the decades that Solo Nation- als spent in Salina and Topeka, Kansas, the event exploded from a small annual gathering of autocrossers into a major National Championship. But the social aspect has always been a strong part of the event's favor. Back in the day, the BFGoodrich Talent Show was one of the highlights of the week. Legendary "voice of Solo" Roger Johnson hosted–usually in suit and tie–and competitors traded course time for stage time to display their many non-motorsport abilities. Fast-forward to today. The talent show had been sort of forgotten i n t h e e v e n t ' s moves over the past decade. Yet t h e S C C A s t i l l w a n t e d t o g e t the strong mes- sage across that this event is about much more than cones and clocks. The solution: Tacos and Talent. Grassroots Motorsports teamed up with the SCCA–along with generous sup- porter BFGoodrich, who was excited to see one of its fagship events back in the mix–to present a modern spin on the classic Nationals talent show. Tacos and Talent was a bit more laid back, with an open-air stage, siz- zling meat on the grill, and swimming pools full of beer and soft drinks. Our own J.G. Pasterjak–himself no stranger to the mic–hosted a series of acts and game shows starring the autocross community. 10 11 10 12 13 14 rupert berrington photo perry bennett photos EVENTS: SCCA SOLO NATIONALS
