    Who will be there? I'll have my DS-prepped WRX out for it's first National level event, and my co-driver's second event ever in the car.

    Its only the best Atlanta SoloII event of the year. Check out the website. Its a form of Mirakhana? with a drag start.

    Registration is closed.. the event filled up back in April.

    DoubleCross is a form of prosolo; mirrored autox course with a drag start complete with xmas tree lights.

    Karen keep in mind that other than you, clemson scooby, WJM and I nobody on this site participates in national level solo so simply refering to the Prosolo or Doublex isn't going to get many responses other than "what is the doublex".

    It's okay. If they at least come out to watch, that's something too, right? Have an impromptu Subie meet at the Pro? That's what a lot of people do up here... and then the next time they come out, they participate, and then they are hooked... ;)

    And registration actually isn't closed. If you haven't looked recently, there are about 10 spots open (175 max entry) because people have dropped out for various reasons.

    I'm registered for both the DoubleX and the NT. I'm not sure that I'll be able to make both, but I should be there.

    I went to the first DoubleX (two years ago) and missed last years, maybe because it was on the 4th of July. I ran the Peachtree instead.

    I wish I could go, I'm headed to Pitts, PA tomorrow. I attended a D-X a couple of years ago and wound up against Joel. We have a couple of close calls and had to go again, he beat me by a nose. It was fun!! I like that style vs the normal auto-x.

    I predict Jodi will win. :p

    Stop by and say "hi!" My WRX is silver with ghost flames on the hood. :) I'm running either DS 34 or L1 34. Depends on how I feel when I get down there.

    I didn't realize it was starting that early this year. That's going to be rough.

    I don't think so, you'll just have to sign a waiver and wear a wristband.

    Dropped in for a few hours yesterday to watch! Wow, I'm was super jealous I didn't sign up for this. Looked like a blast, a great turnout, and great competition too.

    Not sure how everyone faired but I saw a couple WRXAtl'rs run. Got to meet a bunch of great folks too.

    I'm definently putting this on the calender for next year!
