    We are going to be heading down Friday and wanted to see what kind of a group we could get to go. I went last weekend to support a friend with a turbo M3 and it was a good time, but about the only imports there were Hondas. I figured it would be nice to get some more Subarus down there this week! It is held at the drag strip in Commerce.

    Yeah Integroid and I talked about it last night. We have to try to get his 30 psi+ tune ready between now and then.

    eddie are you going to launch in 2nd? I know our one good run in the coupe just smoked the tires almost completely through first. We had too much tire pressure but still.

    I will have to wait and see. I am going to do 2-4 just launches to start with before doing a full 1/4 mile pass. Gotta dial in the launch. I really need to learn how to setup the gear based boost controller on the AVC-R:)

    It wasn't too bad till about 9 last week. By that time it was really crowded. With rain all week I am hoping it will be kinda dead again like it was last week.

    My guess is we will be in either the legacy (blue) or the mustang, a tan tahoe, a white lgt wagon and maybe a couple more cars.

    Thats ok. Last time I was there I was the slowest Subaru there (17.x seconds on a stock 97 Legacy). I might not be the slowest one this time though woohoo!

    It depends on what time Integroid gets to the house and the wife gets off work. But if there are enough people that want to caravan out there, we can arrange a time and place to meet up.

    Meet spot / time yet? I'm up for a caravan


    13.99 and quicker requires a helmet
    10.99 and quicker requires a roll cage
    pants only (no shorts)
    closed shoes (no sandels)
    windows rolled up

    I don't remember if I had to wear a long sleeve shirt lasttime I was up there. You might want to have one just incase.



    I want video of me. I'll be there

    Sounds good. Can you give me some kind of address so I can GPS? I'm not sure where thats at. I might have another Subaru with me. And I'm pretty sure another guy will be coming with either his Benz or S4

    I'm talking about North of the North part of 285...Like North of Jimmy Carter BLVD

    edit :

    Found it in Braselton. I might not make it that far North by 545. I'll know by tomorrow if I'll be able to make it up that fast.

    I have no idea what time I'll be up there. You all know what my car looks like so keep an eye out for me and say hi when I do show up.

    I have to reassemble an Audi 1.8T engine tomorrow. Oh joy. I love German cars /sarcasm

    This is me. Minus all the stickers.

    I'm still debating on going. I get off at 7 and work out at Alpharetta off Haynes. Probably won't run but watch. I might change my mind tomorrow, depending on if it's a good day or not.

    I MIGHT make it up, depending on when I leave work and how the weather is. I'm not driving from Peachtree City to find out it's been cancelled or sitting in rain all night.

    We will get some pictures as well as high def video. But my photography (and camera) is not as good as many on here, lol.

    It looks like it is going to be nice weather tonight! Everything should be a go for tonight.

    I will do my best to get pics of everyone out there with us and video when requested. Video will be kind of limited unless I can grab a decent SD card somewhere today.

    Nah, I will dig into it later. Ran a 12.8 best with a shitty 60ft so there's room for improvement.

    I broke the rear diff and snapped a rear axle on the 3rd pass. Center diff is fine:)
