[Chiketkd]

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

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?!

Oh, yeah! Looking forward to defending the "fastest SVX" title
-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!

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.

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)

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.
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!!!!

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 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" Count it as another victim of the evoution of "BillStock" I'm with Tom as to how it was still transferring power Guess there's enough "powah" being generated to force a molecular adhesion while in motion It will be interesting to get on the dyno and see where we're at, HP/TQ-wise

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

Bill-Stock for the win!!!!

Dyno numbers will be cool.

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

[Chiketkd]

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:
