The Atlanta Subaru Challenge is right around the corner. Here are some event facts that you need to know.

• A welcome meet will be held at Subaru of Gwinnett Friday evening from 6 PM to 8:30 PM. Burritos from Chipotle and beverages will be served for Challenge participants at SOG. No registration for the Challenge and no tech inspections will be done at Subaru of Gwinnett on Friday evening.
• Registration and tech inspections will be done on Saturday morning at Turner Field. It is VERY important that all participants are at Turner Field by 8 AM on Saturday morning to register and get tech inspected before the 8:30 AM cutoff. If you do not register by 8:30 AM your spot will not be held. This is very important so that we can stay on schedule and run over 100 drivers through the auto cross.
• Bring folding chairs with you to Turner Field. The city of Atlanta wants WAY too much money to allow us to bring in tables and chairs for the event. We will have several 10 by 10 tents at the site, but we need you to bring your own chairs for watching the event. Sorry.
• Lunch will be served to all participants and their guest. Also there will be free soft drinks and water on Saturday at the event.
• If you are on the wait list for positions 100 to 110, show up on time and you will be entered to run on Saturday.
• For those of you staying at the event hotel, there will be no welcome reception due to facility limitations. The meet at Subaru of Gwinnett will take the place of an event at the hotel.
• The event will be run rain or shine. Bring clothes to match the weather conditions.
• We will be providing an event photographer who will take pictures and post them on a web site for you to download for free, shortly after the event.

The Atlanta Subaru Challenge will be here before you know it. Have a safe trip to Turner Field. Don't forget, be there at 8 AM on Saturday morning!

Sweet.

You DA MAN.

*runs off to prepare outback*

 

Dammit... Seriously? I'm a groomsman in a wedding in FL that day...

When's the FL event? Which city in FL?

 

Awesomeness, thanks again for putting these on Randy!

 

August 25th Gainesville Raceway, Gainesville, FL.

 

Remember, the GA one got cancelled last year, because there weren't enough registrants. Lets not let that happen again this year. Even if you don't know for sure if you are going, you should register.

 

I think I can plan that far in advance. Thanks for the info. I will be signing up again.

Dang it Heath, you need to be there to spread the Saabaru love.

 

Thanks Randy!!!!

Alex, can we sticky this to the front page! Lets get 100 people by July this time!!!!

 

:banana: Thanks Randy!

Like Tom said, let's get the registration full. No excuses for a cancelled event!

 

You are welcome. Let's pump the number this year and not hang back like last year. We will have a couple of interesting enhancements this year. We will put more out about that when the registration opens up in June.
Randy

 

Can definitely count me in.

 

Thanks again Randy. Let me know if there's anything we could do to help.

 

I'll be there as long as we don't have any other events that conflict.

Matt

 

Awesome, I will plan on being there this year! Thanks Randy.

 

:banana: I can't wait! We will definitely be there.

 

should be fun as usual

 

Hmm..

Weren't there over 50 or so people registered last year when they canceled?

That didn't go over well with me. I hope things work out for the better this year.

 

Registration is now open for the Gainesville event. Go to SubaruChallenge.com to register. Atlanta is not set up for registration yet. Entry fee this year is $35
Randy

 

i will register again this year for the atlanta event and try my best to get some of the savannah guys to register also.
if it doesn't get canceled again, i will definatly be there.

 

It won't get cancelled this year, promise. We will be displaying quite a few '08 Imprezas at the event.
Randy

 

^^^ Will you be there?

 

DUH.

Registered!

 

Registered :bigthumb:

 

Going to register, not sure of class. I have EM, so I'm pretty sure that will put me in STS (where I will undoubtedly get destroyed). I just don't want to register for the wrong category.

 

Only regret about selling the subbie is I can't enter the challenge...anyone want to let me co-drive? Could be talked into covering some of the reg fees for the person who lets me drive their car...

 

What class am I?

05 Saabaru MT w/ short throw shifter
Gutted UP
Turbo XS stealthback with stock axleback
Cobb AP v1 Stage 2
Cusco adjustable RSB on middle setting

Thanks

 

The cobb ap puts you in street prepared, esp if I am not mistaken. Whereas, you would be in stu without the ap. Some correct me if I am wrong.

 

If you are catted, you can run in STX, if not, ESP

 

I have a high flow cat so STX it is.

Thanks

 

do me! All I have is an AP stage 1.

Oh and 225 tires.

Note: I know that I will not be competitive in whatever class I'm in with my current setup. I just don't want to sign up in the wrong class, and be competitive, and find out that I'm dq'ed for mods.

 

Flash the STX map and run in STX....

 

we still using wrxatlanta.com as a sponsor this year?

 

Please do if you would like to show your support for WRXatlanta at this event.

 

Gutted up is technically a removal of emissions device, which is what threw me into ESP before I was even ready. I had an up and springs and got my butt kicked all the time. After a couple $k of mods I fixed the butt kicking problem. I won't say anything though if you run in STX.

 

Ok, so here is a layout of my exhaust. I want to make sure I am running in the correct class.

Gutted UP
Turbo XS Stealth Back with high flow cat before midpipe
Stock axle back.

So is STX not the correct class?

 

You're saying just realtime flash to the stock map? This sounds like it could be a good plan. So do the tires keep me out of d-stock?

 

You must run a wheel that is same size at the OEM wheel; whatever DOT legal tire fits on the stock wheels is legal for stock class. However since you can run any DOT legal tires, you must have R-comps to be competitive in stock class.

 

wait, so does that mean I'd be better off in d-stock or stx? Or should I just not worry about it since I'm probably going to get waxed either way and just keep my reflash and run in whatever stage that would put me in. I'm just looking to have fun here. I would run time-only, but I noticed they didn't have it for this event.

Haha, I just want someone with more experience than me to tell me what they would do

edit: but if there is a class I could be competitive in, I'd definitely do that.

 

I would think you would be most competitive in STX. Yes, just flash a real time STX map (they are on Cobb's site). Stock classes are actually more competitive than STX...

 

Time only runs are only offered for regular AR SCCA events; the subaru challenge is put on by SOA with the assistance of Atlanta Region SCCA. I would run STX personally.

 

Thanks! I'm registering right now!

Edit: registered

 

Awesome..... now where is everyone else? Let's get going on this! BUMP

 

Bump

 

STX is not the correct class due to the removal of an emissions device (up pipe). Nobody would know, and with you not having a whole lot of suspension mods I would say just run in STX. I could see if your uppipe gutting added 50hp, but it doesn't. You really don't want to run in ESP without R comps and at least stage 2.
