    Hehe

    I met a guy that thought images.google.com was a source was a site for public domain images. There's no telling how many times he infringed on copyrighted stuff.

    Remember that the STi was moved from ESP to BSP this year, so you won't have to run against any of those.

    There are SCCA events on 9/3 (Turner Field) and 9/10 (Atlanta Motor Speedway) before the Challenge. You can find more info and registration for those events at www.soloatlanta.com

    I am getting a hotel room at the Days Inn. It was only like $50 something for the doublex event. The room was okay. I will probably be there again this time as well.

    I haven't been able to make a commitment to this yet but I don't think going will be a problem. I deffinetly want to go and so does my wife so it should be a no brainer. I will register as soon as I am able.

    Is the Savannah contingent going to ride up together?

    if we can get more people interested, sure.
    i wouldn't mind forming a caravan to head that way, even if nobody else wants to tag along.

    hopefully some of the guys will see this and decide to enter or just hang out.

    How come we can't post tire sizes and manufacturers in the registration? Its kind of fun to see what people are running.

    need more signups. The Gainesville event has 131 signups, while the Atlanta event is only at 51... I am worried if we don't fill it up, they will move it somewhere else next year that has more appreciation for autoXing Subarus.

    Count me as two then, because I have huge appreciation for autox'ing Subarus. Brian is right though, but I think this forum has already about covered all the autox'ers besides the people that are waiting for some $.

    Has this been posted in the other larger forums?

    Dude, seriously, it is really like no wear on your tires. You will be running for a total of about 4 minutes, how much damage can you do to your tires in that amount of time, none. At least come hang out if you don't feel like running in the event. Ya got to represent;)

    yeah, 4 runs won't kill your tires much at all, unless you are pushing your car way too hard into the turns. If you slow down enough for entry to the turns, your tires will be happy, and you can build up much faster exit speeds, providing better autoX times.

    I think I'll probably do this. I Haven't autocrossed my car in a couple of years. I'm having trouble finding the class listings though. I was Dstock last time. But I have an AP an an axleback now. What should I register as? I know I probably won't stand a chance of actually placing in whatever class it is(tires are the only suspension mod I have) but it would still be fun.

    Great...the entry lists growing. You said it... don't worry about placing and just have fun. And I don't know anyone who is breathing who wouldn't have fun tossing the car around a little. I believe you would be in ESP.

    Come on people, only 58 people registered for the Atlanta event (1/2 of these not being from WRXatl), while the Gainesville event has been full with 135 people for a while.

    Come out and show your support for the Atlanta Subaru community! It won't hurt your car and will only cause minimal wear on your tires for the 4 runs. Also, you get some good freebies from Subaru.

    I recruited some Subaru's from the CSCC forum. Someone needs to post on HSCC, because they have lots of Subarus.
