Opie Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 OK, figured I'd drop in to let everyone know how things are progressing... The date and location are set (Huge thanks to Sparks and the Buccaneer SCCA!).Letters to potential Participating Dealers will be going out this week. Things we still need to do: Find a host hotel/rate, etc.Design and make arrangements for the awards.Contact the Gainesville Raceway to see if we can afford a shade tent this year. Things that we have confirmed that we WILL NOT have this year: Event Check-In/Reception on Friday nightFood or Beverages (lunch) at the event I hope to have registration open by early August... Please post any questions or ideas you have, just remember, this year we are operating on a much smaller budget than year's past!! There are no food/beverage stores very close to the event so pack you coolers and plan accordingly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrgeoff Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Sounds interesting... I do have a question though. Is this like an entire track made out of cones? I tried looking at the pictures of the previous events, but I can't seem to make out how big the course is. Pardon the n00bness, but it's obvious I haven't done anything like this before lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opie Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 In Gainesville it uses a track type setting with cones arranged to be technical and keep the speeds reasonable (usually less than 45mph max). It is great fun behind the wheel...and registration is now open! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonardo Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I love Hawk. I use HPS for the street/track though I might go with HP+ and switch them at the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtE30 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 so what class are you running in? Do the stock LGT run in H-stock or D-stock? I forgot which one it was and also it seems that the car was recently placed into a different catagory. Also if I were to ahve the car tuned to the intake and the exhaust would it place me out of the stock class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N/A Legacy - HS Legacy GT- DS If you have an intake that takes you out of stock, the exhaust as long as its a cat-back is ok in stock. You have to use the same diameter and width wheels with any rubber you can fit on them. Offset can be no more than 6mm off so +48 mm wheels are ok. If You are not stock you can go to ESP or STU if you are modded big time them probably SM. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
