We appreciate the huge support from the local WRX/Subie group. Milo if we can help anyway let myself or Christy know!
i always look forward to these events... they are always organized well... feel free to let me know if you guys need anything from us
Everytime you guys make this post, I chime in.... You are not having a track day...it's a drag race. There is a difference.
Hey...we just might come out. With t3h RS as its last event possibly... Hmmm...maybe I can get an RX running for this.
Remember people that pre-register get a tire pressure gauge!!!! http://www.southeasttrackday.com/register.htm
Great to see this is coming up again, i might be bringing 3 cars this time. Are there gonna be free t-shirts this time too?
I have never done anything like this, I had a few questions, Is my car fast enough to require a helmet 13.99, and would this event be a good one to start with?
STi's, if driven correctly, will run 13's easy... at this event, you can get a ton of runs... so it will be a good one to start with registered
If you aren't sure, you are allowed one run down the track to see what sort of times you are making. If you are faster than 13.99 and required to wear a helmet, the ladies at the end with your time slip will tell you that you can't go again without a helmet. We had a lot of people say they have had an abundance of shirts from our events, so we switched it up this event and are having SETD tire pressure gauges made for those who pre-register.
I don't really want to run but I'd like to go and watch. Anyone else want to carpool? Share the gas and also on hotel cost? PM me plz.
how is this hotel close enough that it's convenient to stay there instead of another hotel that's closer? i used to live in peachtree city and i've been to solver dollar and they are not close to eachother at all. is there anyone actually planning on staying at this best western in PTC?
we'll definitely caravan.. probably with the rest of the SELOC and GA3S group... will post details later
Sorry about the confusion. That hotel was posted because of our cookout the night before in Peachtree City. On the website I linked to all local hotels that are within a few minutes of the strip http://www.silverdollarraceway.com/Lodging.htm The Varisty caravan will roll out at 8:15am!!!! Make sure that you have already checked all fluids and are gassed up before then. Leading/organizing will be Dustin ... just follow his bike: Can't wait, guys!!! See you there!!

Hey guys, just letting you know that I'm closing pre-registration first thing in the morning. http://www.southeasttrackday.com/register.htm I also got a black 07 STi to commit to coming to Silverdollar [this is the guy I was telling you about a while back, Milo]. His name is Dustin. So hopefully you guys will have a new member or at least can teach him a few things about his car! See you guys at Silverdollar!!
I'm inbetween varsity and reynolds(forsyth) but id still like to catch the caravan as it passes through forsyth..and idea of when that maybe?
ShaneSTi and I had coordinated this last time... i called him when we left the varsity... then called him when we were 10 miles from his exit... then at 5 miles... at this point, he was parked near the on ramp... then called him again when we were a mile away... thats when he got on the highway and drove in the slow lane... as we passed him, he merged into the caravan...
