2007 Subaru Challenge | Sat. 11/17 **Reg. now open** Turner Field, Atlanta, GA.

There will be a 2008 WRX project car running in the Atlanta Subaru Challenge so you can see what the new body style can do.

 

Should be intresting...


Any thoughts on meeting up and rolling together to the challenge?

 

We'll plan a caravan as the date comes closer

 

Kool!


OneIguy.......have you registered yet Dangit!!!!!

 

Soooooo the first post says open to 125 cars but the registration shows 111 entries and says it's full?

:nuts:

Is there a wait list??

 

last i heard they were only allowinf 110 people. thats was from the DSM in ATL

 

19 days........I cant wait!!!

 

Darn it. I was just about to sign up too!!

 

That'll be interesting to see the time difference between the project 08 and my 08. I wish I could get one of the SPT team to drive mine or something as well so the comparison would actually tell us something, rather than a n00b like myself driving my car.

 

It's not very acurate to compare whomever is going to drive the SPT car versus yourself. The best way to compare would be to get a seasoned autoxer to drive both cars on the same course. Also the SPT car is running in ESP and therefore may have on r-comp tires. Running the r-comps will make the car atleast 1.5-2 seconds faster on a 50 second course. There have been a few times I've beaten STis/EVOs with r-comps on and I was running on RE01rs; conversely Jay Parcon has almost beaten my times when I ran r-comps in stock class and he was on street tires. Autox is 70% driver 20% tires and 10% car. I just telling you this so that you won't get discouraged, however I would encourage you to get a seasoned autoxer in your car if you want to learn where the limits are. Or conversely try to get a ride in the SPT car to feel the differences yourself.

Edit: It looks like from the entry list Steven Rankins is going to be driving an 08 in ESP. He was my co-driver for nationals..... I feel lucky to get within a second of him in the same car, he is a very fast driver.

 

Having RE01Rs makes me feel a bit better

 

almost 2 weeks to go

 

I bet, Don't worry your going to do fine :wiggle:

 

Does Rankins own that? If not, do you like Paco and Karen to be the Atlanta NSRO winners?

*Edit* Hell, if Brian drives the way he did last week, he'll have a great shot at it.

 

I'm assuming that the 08 WRX in ESP will be the SPT car.... My money is actually on my other co-driver from nationals Steven Kornhaus... Karen will likely kick my ass (hey she's a national champ and multi-time pro-solo winner). NSRO will have two winners from atlanta for ladies and open so my picks are Steven and Karen. I'm sure that Jose will have the fastest raw time (pending no return of stompy) but the SM pax will definately be hard against the softer STU pax. Regardless it will be fun to watch Rankins, Trey Davis, Chris Harp, Justin Rest, Kornhaus, Karen and Jose battle it out!

 

I'm in! And Superdude is too. I thought I was going to have a conflict and have to cancel, but it's all good. :banana:

 

My money is on Brett.

 

:banana:

 

I think half of it was me yelling at you to brake You were way underbraking your first runs

 

I'll see you guys there! I won't be autoxing this year. My swap is too new and I want to make sure all the bugs are worked out. But my car will be in the car corral. Looking forward to meeting all of you.

 

I have to run street tires in ESP due to lack of funds, damn cobb tune, gonna get owned. Would anyone suggest bumping back down to the cobb STX legal map to be slightly more competitive in class?

 

yes switch maps.....

 

I guess I am still a bit confused about class. I registered in the ESP class. With only having TBE, Strut tower bars, and Lower H brace...I have to run in the ESP class Right?

 

ESP is wrx.... STis are in BSP. Sounds like you can run STU; your brace technically puts you in F prepared but I doubt anybody would care.

 

Atlanta Challenge Cut Off

Based on the lack of daylight in mid November and that we will be doing 100% of the registration and tech on Saturday morning, we made the decision to cap at 100 entrants and wait list it to 110 entrants. We might be able to go a little past 110. It all depends on what the SCCA people say and if we can get everybody to show up at Turner Field and processed in a timely manner.
Short answer is if you want to wait list PM me your information and we will put you in line and do the best we can.

So will they change my class at registration?

 

you should be able to edit your registration in my auto events

 

More in STU :banana: Woot.

 

so mwhat....yu runin bout sevemeight punds a baost?

 

Is the Diablo Supertuner Predator STU legal?

 

Predator... I heard he is a totally awesome tuner... so much better than the Segiel

 

Dude I'm so gonna miss the Predator booth at SEMA this year

 

dude is he gonna drift that beast? that would be awesome

 

you need to go with the KCL filter, as it is bigger than the ford performance one

 

yeah, and he would keep on looking over my shoulder when we were doing the compression test. It was funny.

 

Thanks for your help though.. too bad the compression numbers didn't work out like planned.

 

11.5 days...

 

The countdown is on.

The Atlanta Subaru Challenge is right around the corner! We got Houston done last Saturday and we are now 100% focused on the Atlanta event.
We are still working out a few final details about times for registration and tech inspections. By the end of the week we will post the details on WRX Atlanta and the Subaru Challenge web site.
There will be a welcome reception and meet at Subaru of Gwinnett, Friday evening 11/16. Free food and refreshments for all Subaru Challenge participants antheir guests.
We have 100 participants registered and 10 more wait listed. The SCCA chapter says that all of the wait listers are good to go. So plan to be there and ready to run.
Let the trash talk begin!

If your are not registered in the correct class...after tech inspection you will be placed in the correct class correct?
