Either way we're going to have some badass trophies this year.

This is the best local Powder coating Company I have personally used!! Not the cheapest but the best quality! why be cheap when your powder coating?? will be sponsoring a **GR Model** WRX & STi and 2008-2011 Forester Faceoff Battle.

nice, thanks for posting. Always wanted to attend while I lived close (used to be in streamwood). Perhaps I'll make it down this year!
nice, yeah I live in Bartlett right next to Streamwood. Can someone on here help me get this thread sticky'd?
SOA is sending me goodies for everyone!! I want to see A LOT of Minnesota tags at this years shootout!! start booking your hotels in advance to save money!! I would say stay in the O'hare area because you'll be between Evanston for the pre-party on friday and it's then about an hour cruise to the track. You could meet up with the Schaumburg Cruise and have about 50-75+ Subaru's Cruising together to the track I would only ask if you have a GoPro to set it up on the cruise to capture video, and I ask to upload your video file to my computer so I can do a collaboration, which I will share after editing is done. I'll even be able to recharge your GoPro battery for ya! I have a connection at a hotel that's in Arlington Heights,IL http://hotelreservations.com/propde...011&departuredate=7/25/2011&rooms=1&room1=2,0 If your interested in booking here, PM and I'll get you a rate or figure out a block rental for all my out of staters. This is a great central location for all out of town people. -Philip Ly MWSOC Subaru Shootout Event Director/Marketing [email protected]
Updated Post#1 Benchmark Tuning is no longer sponsoring at the Shootout. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?p=34574902#post34574902 I have emailed them numerous times, called numerous times, the last time I called the number was disconnected. They could at least give me the decency to tell me they can't cover their end instead of wasting my time and waiting till the last minute. I will make sure the Class is covered. So NON-IMPREZA Owners don't worry. If I have to, I will cover out of my own pocket. Sorry for the last minute change, I have another sponsor I'm waiting on that should be donating some items hopefully :crossesfingers: . This sponsor manufactures certain parts for subies and other vehicles that make them go fast........food for thought My sponsors and myself will make sure everyone has a fantastic time!! Get those cars tuned and prepped, less than 2 months away!! I'm also working on a cruise with the Itasca Police STi, If we are able to do it, the meeting spot is going to be at SOA HQ Itasca (same place) as the Guinness Book of World Records™ Itasca Parade. Meeting time will be 6:30-7am so everyone has plenty of time to get there, with a departure time of 8am Sharp! All the way to the Byron Dragstrip I'll post on the main page as soon as its set in stone!! I'm also working diligently on getting hotel block rates for out of state attendee's. I'll have a definite group # and block rate for a Thursday PM check in with a Sunday AM Check out. You will also be able to do different check in dates if needed at the same rate as everyone else. That info will be posted up on POST #1 or #2 as it becomes available -Phil Ly Subaru Shootout Director of Events and Marketing

I got some great rates for a nice hotel for you guys, rates vary from $89-$109 a night and I got it down to $59 take advantage, come check out the city and then have fun at the Pre party Friday and the Big Main Event on Sat.
