I just tried to sign up on line, and lost the page during the deal!!! I'm glad that I had not punched in any credit card info!!
I guess I will show up, and if they are too full to let me in, I'll just have to applaud for my friends, and haul my pathetic junk back home!!

I'd try signing up again on-line. The same event in '05 got filled up on-line. Looking forward to seeing you there Jerry!

Ha ha ha! You'd make a great race commentator!

I won't be challenging for any titles but I should be reasonably competitive as I'll be on the ultra sticky set of 225/45/17 Bridgestone RE070's I just paid for yesterday. Plus, by the time the Challenge rolls around, it would be the 12th or 13th autoX I would have done in '06 alone!

It's going to be a blast! The family atmosphere is great!

What title would that be. The just not good enough title?

Are you going to shoot for the title in H-stock with the XT? You shouldn't have much competition as your only competitor thus far is an Outback wagon!

No, I'm gonna shoot for FTD. Might run one of the street tire classes if I can't come up with some 215s or 225s in 14s dirt cheap prior to then.

At least I'm fairly certain I'll be the only one sporting fwd there since the crowds that attend these things don't know what a Subaru was prior to 93.

Hope you're able to get some nice 215's or 225's for the XT. Would be great to see an 80's model Subaru at the event. Would be nice if some other XT/XT6 owners were able to compete!

There might be an old 85 XT turbo on a tow dolly from Cumberland

I believe BillStock Level 2.0 had the fastest time last year (okay, so I wasn't driving it at the time )



Yes, I'm signed up....think I was the 9th person registered (Chike and Dave were already signed up).

Chike,
Better hope this beast doesn't show up



Karen Kraus at speed at the FedEx ProSolo!

I'm hoping she does! Did Karen use to race a Camaro? I swear I've met her before...

It would also be nice if this dude showed up!

They'll probably ask you to run in the "STFU" class
