    For those of you with a dirty side, come out and slide your car around in a dirt field around a technical course marked with cones. This is a great venue for beginner drivers as it is an open course with soft dirt and the safety stewards to do a great job at keeping the course smooth with good flowing lines. Come out, join the fun, and get sidewayz!

    In and registered, of course! I like how the registration site knows you have a credit (from the last rallycross that was cancelled) and applies it right away.

    I don't think your card will get charged until Friday, I'm not sure if Carrie set it up that way cause I used my credit, but I suggested we do that and she said it can be set up that way.

    Don't be shy if you've never been to one. We're extremely down-to-earth and and not competitive assholes. It's extremely fun! You get feel what your Subaru is really capable of, along with a little experience in car handling on slippery surfaces.

    I'd consider it if someone was willing to let me co-drive their car. The rally car makes a lousy rallyx car.

    Signed up for my second rally-x of the season. Working Saturdays is no help to the cause.

    I'm willing to offer my car for co-drive duty if you want. My car needs more racing love. I'm not sure what my brother's doing, but if he's coming out, he'd most likely have his Forester too...or an old NA Forester that he picked up recently.

    One I straight up missed, otherwise I've been stuck working a LOT of Saturdays, so it's been rough on the rally-x and auto-x season. My brother, I don't know. He goes when he wants, but he's also been slowly starting up a business venture on the side with a friend of his. He may be trading off some weekends to progress work. Nevorally, I gave an initial invitation to Vector. Once he replied back to confirm on passing up the opportunity, the seat's all yours. I'll let you know if he doesn't give a response here.

    Awesome!

    Heads up on credits from the last rallycross. If you paid, but haven't asked for your refund, motorsportreg.com will still have your credit on file, and if it isn't, please contact me ASAP and I can get it fixed right away.

    Also, if you pay your registration now, your card will not be charged until Friday night, when we know there will be enough entries. So please, don't hesitate to "pay" and register now. We need a minimum of 15 "paid" entries for the event to happen.

    Crazy, this little link in the first post (https://www.motorsportreg.com/index.../uidEvent/4B2F1D74-9532-5B5B-572E0816D61618B3 ) still works! And just one click from there shows the entries! ;)

    Currently sitting at 7, +1 for Emily on Friday. If there's anyone else waiting until Friday, post up so we can get a quasi head count.

    That's not how you spell my name.
    The civic wont be ready in time so I don't have an extra seat.

    Martin said he was going but hasn't signed up yet. I would think Kerry will be going too since Katherine is EM.

    Well I was hoping to run the RSVX, but it's not going to happen. So unless i can figure out where my oil leak is coming from today on the WRX, i will not be able to attend the rallyx this weekend...which blows some serious ass!

    Also, Sheen still hasn't been reimbursed from last month, which is a problem IMO. I'm not a fan of the new site and the methods that are in place with registration and payment. Hopefully it doesn't completely ruin rallyx for everyone. But thus far, this has been the worst season that i've witnessed in the 4 years that i've been participating.:(

    Last rally cross that was canceled credits should have been issued and you should see them when you go to register. If sheen wants a refund have him contact me. Also please let me know what your issues are with the motorsports registration I know the lack of pay pal kind of sucks is that your only grip? Please feel free to pm or email me

    I personally love the new way to register it is so much easier after you initially sign up for the site. It saves all my info so I all I have to do is log in and pay. I really dont think thats why this season has been so slow. I think its due to lack of smack talk, and excitement. The more we talk about it, and "challenge people" the better the turn out. I would also like to note some key regulars who used to par take in every event and smack talk dont come around as much ie ginger dan, he got a rally car and a kid that takes up most of his time, and dave isnt around much anymore, Amy went mia etc..

    Tim and I are taking over for Dave, and there's some serious discussion going on with the SCCA about improving it for next year.

    As for motorsportreg.com problems, definitely talk with Tim or I about your concerns. I want to open up a discussion about all the problems sometime soon when I have a minute to breathe (working two jobs is taking a toll on me).

    Word on the street is that we have a 15th...

    I personally like myautoevents better than motorsportsreg, they take paypal, keep your info, easier to navigate, they send you reminders that you have a race coming up and there's more traffic (the page for this event got 221 hits and I never told anybody or posted links to it). I'm not sure how the refund process works since I've never had an event cancelled on there that I paid for.

    we have a guaranteed 15 so its not canceled even though only 14 are signed up and paid and one is a fake entry? I also like myautoevents as well might be worth trying for next year.

    Yes, I think we should definitely advertise events outside of MNSubaru and Facebook (I've been meaning to make that suggestion!). We are only advertising to a small crowd and I'm sure that we could gain a larger attendance by advertising in more places.

    One idea is to utilize myautoevents.com - All of the autox events are listed on this site, and I heavily rely on it. I'm sure that the site gets much more traffic than just MNSubaru and the few people that get invited on Facebook!
