Subaru Challenge in Maryland **Autocross Meet**

GreenMarine · #1 06-20-2005, 12:46 PM

Alright guys, it is that time of year again

The Subaru Challenge events are posted and the closk is counting down to the first event. That event is the Baltimore, MD event. Here are some ideas that I came up with for the event:

- Combined North/South SVX Meet (Kinda like the "North meets South" meets that they have on NASIOC)
- BBQ in the parking lot for those just there for a show.
- Atleast 5 SVXi should run in the challenge
- Plenty of Video footage to make a few movies of the event

THose are just ideas of things that I would like to see happen. First though, we need to see if anyone is even interested in going to the event and running in it...

All the event details can be found here --> http://www.subaruchallenge.com/

Registration is completly online and is capped at 125 drivers.

Lets get a list of interested persons started!! I know this will be a blast... My first AutoX was last year at the Subaru Challenge in Atlanta. All I can say is "I'm hooked for LIFE!!!" COme on out and have GOOD, SAFE FUN in your SVX

... Show those NASIOC WRX owners what a SVX is capable of

One of the whole reasons that I want to put this meet on is that I don't think that more than one SVX has ever run in a Subaru Challenge at a time... Lets blow that outta the water with atleast 5 people this year

!!

I would come down but sept 17th happens to be my dads death anniversary so i dont think ill be able to make it. But my dad was also a subaru fanatic like I am and i think it would the ultimate tribute to him to run my SVX

Last Sunday my daughter and I were heading home to St Louis from Maryland. We were in a caravan with a church youth group just having completed a week long work project. When we pulled off the highway to gas up we spotted a guy snoozing in a silver SVX. This caught our eye because we have an '84 and you don't see many in St. Lou. As we were pulling out another SVX pulled in. Okay now I've got my SVX radar on and as we're heading west I saw three more within 15 minutes coming east. It must have been you guys. Thanks for the great visuals!

Although you're not ontop of your sig. Is your car done? Heck, wars have been won/lost and spoils divided since your accident.

. Put a new engine in and be done with it!

)

I ran my '97 2.2 Legacy for most of last season. It doesn't do too bad of a job in HS, I even beat Ben and his XT6 once or twice

One good thing for a first timer is that it doesn't have enough power for him to get in trouble.
