Just added some more prizes to the list last night! I think my wife is going to as well. Looks like the weather should be good. Only a small chance on sunday, like 30%, otherwise the rest of the weekend looks great!
Looks like the pre-registration for the road course is closed. Will there still be a chance of registering "day-of" to get track time?
If your car isn't ready, come up just to spectate and enjoy the after hours fun! The party this year is gonna be insane! Check out 1 of at least 2 buses that are coming up! Now that's the way to do it!
So what do we bring as payment confirmation, and registration since there are no receipts after payment.
Once you have registered Andy sends out a packet containing all of the info you need - this is of course assuming your talking about the road course...
NOS energy drink will be up giving out tons of freebies all weekend. As well as bringing up their R/C Drift track. So if you have a R/C drift car bring it up! This is their track check out the video! [youtube]CC3E0VnUbpI[/youtube]

Dang, looks like I missed out on the subaru photo shoot! Had a great weekend, been going to this event every year and don't plan on missing one anytime soon. And the Auto-x was awesome.
i got a few road track pics but none that were really good. thanks again to MAP for this event and i think i will be running up to the import vs domestic event (though i dont know which i should support yet lol) would be great to get a group up there
also i know that this is the subaru forum but man that focus RS was sexy as all hell. a very unique car to see
^^ The car was originally a US model Ford Focus, which was built into a track car. Then the current owner bought it from the dealership, and bought all the body panels from UK...It took him 2 years to transform it into an RS and cost him about 7 grand in shipping the parts. The motor is USDM and boosted.
Still pretty nice. I'd really like the AWD though. Not sure I could justify a scoob if they brought that over.
