The Mid-Atlantic Event at Ripken Stadium in Aberdeen, MD has now been confirmed for Saturday, September 16th.

Several people attended last year, and it would be nice if we can have a bunch of people from the network there again in '06!

Here's the meet thread from '05: http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=26895

I'll be there with my '06 WRX TR competing in D-Stock. Hope to see many of you there!

I won't be there... sorry guys... School has forced me to change my involvment with Cars.... :(:(....

If they did one alittle closer to Raleigh then I'll do it, but at the moment I need to concentrate on school first :rolleyes:

Chi ke, do you think they would puty my Claret in billstock?;)
When Jerry ran it in Cumberland they put it in SM, because of the fiberglass hood?!:confused:

Oh, yeah! Looking forward to defending the "fastest SVX" title:cool: :D
-Bill
p.s. I will make sure to stick around for the final Subaru Challenge round this year

Any aero or body changes from stock immediately bump you into SM. Not to mention that s/c pushing air into your engine! :cool:

I'm looking forward to this meet. I'm not +ve I'll be on r-comps, but I'll at least be on my current sticky summer tires. At an autoX test-n-tune event today, I was just 1.5 seconds off of FTD (raw times) and was the second fastest in D-Stock. :cool:

Chike,
Good job! How many drivers did you have at the event? Just got home after a long day up in Cumberland and big, big props to Tom K (SVXFiles) for all his help getting "Bill Stock" back and healthy! (pics sometime Monday)
-Bill

Thanks Bill. The test-n-tune was limited to a total of 50 drivers in my club. The lot was nice and clean, with the majority of it being new pavement. FTD was a 23.08 by a guy who regularly competes at Nationals. Fastest time in D-stock was a 23.24 by a solid WRX driver on r-comps (he's preparing to compete in a provisional next month and go to nationals for the first time this year). I turned a 24.56 on my summer tires. I was actually matching the times of the best 2.0L WRX guys in STX (they were turning times in the mid to low 24's). Most drivers out there were running 25-26 second laps and the novice's were in the 27-28 second range.

I'd say on the tight short course we had, r-comps were worth about 1 second over summer tires. I definitely felt I had a 24.0-24.2 in my car that day if I had been able to manage 'grip' better in some of the tight turns (need to work on trail braking).

Congrats on getting Bill-Stock back together again!!! Was it the flex plate?

-Chike

Chi ke, that thing was no longer a flexplate.:eek:
It looked just like Amazon Parrots custom two piece flexplate.
I don't know how that thing transfered any power!

Holy cow! Guess Bill-Stock eleventy billion just makes too much powah!!!! :eek: :cool:

Nah, i think it was the loose nut between the steering wheel and the drivers seat!:eek:







LAMOABE!:D




Bill-Stock eleventy billion :rolleyes:

Chike,
I brought the flash memory card in to work to download the pics Austin and I took, but "technical difficulties" are preventing the download:mad: I'm hoping that putting the card back into the camera and hooking the camera to the computer will fix things.
Bottom line is that the flexplate was a "donut":eek: Count it as another victim of the evoution of "BillStock";) :cool: I'm with Tom as to how it was still transferring power:confused: Guess there's enough "powah" being generated to force a molecular adhesion while in motion:D It will be interesting to get on the dyno and see where we're at, HP/TQ-wise;)
-Bill

Untill Bill gets his pictures loaded, it was like this.

:eek:

Bill-Stock for the win!!!! :)

Dyno numbers will be cool. :cool:

Tom, that pic is insane. Glad you guys were able to get 'er fixed!!!

I won D-Stock in my SCCA region yesterday...
 

They were no cars on r-comps and I was able to clean up on my summer tires. Next mod will be a 26mm (up from 20mm) Whiteline front sway bar.

A few pics of my car in action:
