    Thanks for posting up the video...registering now :) I've been to DCTC many times for autox, but I think it would be awesome to run it more like a road course.

    So if it happens to snow, will the event still be on? Snow drifting ftw!

    It is $125 for the event, plus $15 for the weekend SCCA membership (not necessary if you already have a SCCA membership) = $140 total. Plus $5 if you want to have lunch onsite too.

    It looks like a blast! I am signing up. Will be my first track event and I am looking forward to it. Hopefully there is some instructors there to help me find my way around the
    track. Now what type of helmet do I need to find?

    The helmet must be a SA2005 or SA2010. Send me an e-mail BEFORE the event so I know your size and I will have some of my rental helmets available at no charge. I also have a good selection of new helmets in stock if you wanted to make a purchase.

    What is your email? How many helmets will there be available?

    I need to get around to getting one, what are some good cheep ones? I would prefer open faced. I seem to remember Pyrotech racing and bell having good cheep ones?

    Oil prices are below $90 a barrel and the gas prices are dropping at the pump, so you have one less excuses to not come out to this event. It will be fun!

    Hmm. Was going to bring the turbo S2000, but thinking the Civic or WRX might be a better option.

    Looks like fun. I will have to look for this next year. Winter tires only at the moment doesn't quite afford opportunity right now.

    Was very well organized and a lot of fun. And the car didn't blow up in the morning! Next time I'm going to bring the WRX so I can play with y'all.

    What a great event!! Some really great drivers out there, I have a ton to learn about driving on a track. After riding around with my buddy in his blue G35 I can see how fair a car can be pushed, just my take me about 10 years to get to that level

    JCN next time all three just like how we discussed pal lol. I was wondering what had happened after you went MIA. It was nice to see at this event.


    OMG i couldn't believe how many Subaru's came out to support this event. Even as far as N.Dakota. I had a blast, great job to the organizers and the participants. Rookies ftw!

    The car was too fast to go all out (kept deafening people as I ripped past) and less fun when puttering around at 7/10ths. Also was smoking a little from tranny oil on the exhaust so thought I'd hang it up before setting things on fire. Going to have LJ at Full Blown do a tranny vent catch can. Was a great shake down for the Captain to see what it needs to not blow up on big track. Last time I was at BIR, I melted a turbo.... :D

    I plan on shaking it down at a few more PDXs next year and then using it for Time Trial.

    The pictures are small, but what was the oddest vehicle out there? I think next year when I have performance tires and my suspension finished I might bring the boat out. Is there extra credit for being able to seat 5 people and a trunk full of groceries?

    Small photos were just from my phone...

    HUGE mix of cars... from a 1987 Supra, 1989 Conquest tsi, VW GTI's old and new, Lexus LS430, couple Mercedes, at least 10 WRX's, Corvette Z06, Miata's, S2000's, 240sx, Mustangs, Lancer Evo's and a couple BMW's. Over 30 cars on track for this event!

    What was cool is that it was kind of a car show in the pits between runs with everyone checking out all the various vehicles then getting to go out and run with them on the track to see how they all worked. Even when people had mechanical issues other drivers helped get the cars back on track.

    Hey I heard you blew up 3rd after I left and was really sorry to hear that...I hate it when others' cars blow up. Anyway, at least you have another car to drive, and now you can just make the wrx stronger!
