    THIS SATURDAY, August 18th 3pm at Atlanta Motor Speedway....

    Dear WRXAtl members ,

    SCCA Nationals is just around the corner and this AMS lot is very similar to Topeka's surface. There are several SEDIV drivers coming into our region planning to attend this event and prepare for Topeka. This event is on the right surface, at the right time, with the right temperatures and the right competition for YOU to be ready for Topeka. This event promises the feel of a divisional with all the big names in the SouthEast in attendance.

    COME JOIN US!!!

    Come be a part of the "coolest" event you will ever run in August! Atlanta Motor Speedway provides a huge lot with a "Nationals-like" surface and lots of light. Headlights are not required. If you have questions about this event, you may send email to larose@cs.utk.edu and I'll get you pointed in the right direction.

    Russ and I will be there also. After last weekend, I can't miss another fast race like AMS. I am skipping Danville, because the AMS will probably be very similar and much less of a drive.

    How many of the WRXAtl folks will show up? Can you guys get a club outing going? I am thinking about bringing a grill and cooking dinner, hanging out until late at AMS having fun with my Chevrolet friends.

    ATLWRX should do the same, throw up an ez-up, bring a grill, some brats and some brownies and hang out!

    Steal the STi and leave him at home ;)

    Trust me driving is 1000000 times better than riding

    Actually the region has an ATV for course set up and tear down complete with a little cone trailer...

    he'd get over it.... you can just use the excuse that you were saving him the embarrassment of being beaten by a girl ;)

    No season pass for this event since it's capped.... wanted to ensure that no season pass holders would get locked out of an event they technically paid for.

    Is there anyway that someone would let me and two other guys sleep at their place, instead of driving the 3hrs. home at 1am? I considered camping, but I am afraid its going to be too stinking hot.

    Tom, I'd offer up my place in a heartbeat but my wife is hosting an event at the house on Sunday and would veto my decision. ;)

    Come on, someone help the guy out!

    That seems like too much considering my 16x8's are 16lbs.

    I am just trying to keep the thread alive.

    The 17x8 slipstreams were 20.5 lbs when I measured them.

    Our chief safety steward told me it's a no no.... just put water in your tank you'll be fine. So far I have not seen anybody come to an event with Meth as it will most likely not help you on an autox course.

    Doh! I was hoping for a cheap substitute. There are a few wheels that I have been looking at, those are one. The advan's and gram lights are nice also. The SSR's are a little heavy.
