The only up side to this is that maybe they'll move the Subie Challenge to FedEx next year
My understanding is that it's the RV shows, circus and other activities up at Ripken that have torn the lot up, but it's easier to blame the autoX crowd -Bill

According to a post in the Subie Challenge thread on nabisco, a PCA event is still being held tomorrow, so it definitely appears that events already scheduled for this season are still on.

Haha. Guess I am "that guy". Unfortantly, "that guy" is a poor college student who has to go to classes and work. And it'd be about 500 miles for me... Seems like a long drive to... go driving...

Well the BMW and PCA events scheduled at Ripken this past weekend took place w/o a hitch. All contracts currently on the books for '07 will be honored.
Craig Garfield from the WDCR and Mike Snyder from Autocrossers, Inc are both in talks with management at Ripken Stadium as well as the county. Here's hoping the lot will be around in '08! Btw, current weather.com 5-day forecast for Aberdeen, MD calls for a high of 86F on Saturday under partly cloudy skies! Chike

I gotta be careful not to get shoved into the 'kill stories' catigory, BUT!!
Tom and I were out 'lunge-ing' the SVX, ( Similar to what the horse racers do) to get the 'theroughbred' ready for the Preakness. While we were 'minding our own business', honda boy with the 'mines bigger than yours' muffler and the primer ground effects started 'pushing' on our back door. Tom 'recalibrated' the instruments, put his finger on the 'target' on the boost guage, tightened the seatbelt and nodded. We put about 150 YARDS between our rear bumper and the primer 'ground effects' in a scant 4 seconds, thereby reducing our risk of an inexperienced driver in a poorly prepared car damaging the back of the SVX. ( this was an 'enviornment' controled by nature, since there were NO access roads, pull off places, houses, pedestrians, or unexpected happenstances) Honda-boy might have to get a hearing test though, due to the 'stinging' sensation in his ears. I think we're ready for the CHALLENGE! Quote:

I have to admit I have done something similar before. I took an off ramp (a loop back and was in effect about a 180 degree turn) with a young stud in a Firebird right on my bumper "pushing me". What he "didn't know" was that I was coming from autocross with my race tires still on the car. I took the inside line at close to three times the "recommended" exit speed. The last I saw of him in the rear-view mirror was him fighting the wheel to stay on the road. I never saw him again ......

They have 'allowed' the auto-x guys to put fresh rubber on the tarmac for 6 years now and we have only had to buy 6 runway lights and a 50' piece of fence. I might have to put a 'bug' in the Subi-guys' ear. It would break my heart to have the Challenge' happen less that 2 miles from the BEST Subi-guru's house!

Move it to CUMBERLAND!! They LIKE sports cars and WELCOME the 'tourist' traffic! ( since we have NO other job opportunities!) We do have a really nice 'resort' that NONE of the locals can afford to smack a golf ball or buy a dinner at. ( They want to attract a " BETTER " clientel). (I guess that's WHY they were sucking over a MILLION DOLLARS out of the local tax base to keep it going last year.......) DANG!! Here I go putting a 'political' thing into a post that is being threatened by politics! We don't HAVE to go to the biggest speed trap in Allegany County to buy an over-priced meal, at an overpriced resort, that has been DRAINING ALL of the tourist money spent here for 20 years! There is always Holiday INN, or a TENT at the 'farm' or Tom's house, or one of the many motels that are not worth mentioning in the propaganda put out by state gov'ment. Let's have fun with cars, as long as those idiots allow us to buy gasoline, WHEREEVER we have to run and hide to do it!!!!

Just found the 'notice' from subi-challenge
Being the redneck that I am, I sent them the 'link' to the local auto-x guys.
I'm sure that a solution can be worked out for '08', if the 'powers' decide that we cause too much damage to the parking lot at ripken........ Can we say " Party At TOM'S"?????

Rosie and I will not be going to this event this comming Saturday.
However, I will probably be there early. I have to pick up a part from a very famous SVXer. Tom SVX (not the young one ), It looks like It will take about 1 - 1 1/2 hrs for me to get there. I should probaly be there around 8:00 -8:30 AM Please bring the part and I'll bring my check book. Hope to see both you and Diana there.
