Xenonk Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I will be entering all three (MD, NC and FL) this year. I am planning to get a hotel at Daytona Beach, I think it's like an hour away from Gainesville? Am I right? Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quest Posted July 14, 2005 Author Share Posted July 14, 2005 Cool, I would like to meet you. I have enjoyed your many useful topics even though I hardly ever reply. Guess im not a post whore. You should be able to get to Gainesville in about an hour but be careful, you will have to take some backwoods roads to get hare that are full of cops. If you are coming here Friday and Saterday I would stay in town unless you really want to party in Daytona Beach. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason thanks for the heads-up, I know there's some backroads to take, which I am not worried about since that's my daily commute to work anyways (even though I can take a major highway). I will be leaving work Thursday in the afternoon just before traffic and expect to be in FL by early Friday morning. I will stay at Daytona Beach Friday and Sunday.. I will be commuting from Daytona to Gainesville for the SubaruChallenge, so I will be heading back to the hotel on Saturday night.

autoxdad Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Hi Guys I will be in Gainesville also, but since my son and I are both coming down from Charlotte, we are just bringing one car I believe. He wants to take his 2004 STI, but there is still a chance that I will have my Legacy there. Look forward to meeting you guys either way:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intercede007 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I'm registered, but my employer seems either unwilling or unwilling () to let me make a request for PTO (Paid Time Off) before my name is in the system (I'm a new hire). I gave him written notice 30 days in advance, but apparently that isn't good enough for this company. I'm trying like hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggyGT Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Hopefully I will be able run. I am having a few issues that we are working on. I may set the car up to run in STU. Counting down.... -Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counting down.... -Matt dont matter to me, so long you are running a stock turbo and stock boost (yea right, as if I am going to ask you to take apart your car to show me that you have a stock turbo and not some kind of 20G ) Hope everyone is studying the course: http://www.subaruchallenge.com/GainesvilleCourse.jpg Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyGT Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Well looks like either way I go I will be in SM. I will however not be running the rotated setup. But I will be running R-Compounds. -Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quest Posted October 21, 2005 Author Share Posted October 21, 2005 Most of you are probably traveling to Gainesville right now, but I will post this anyways... Uhhh, I think I will be putting my rear sway bar back to stock to get me out of STU. Since this is my only MOD, I think I may be at a slight disadvantage in the "Unlimited" class. Not to mention my driving ability handicap...... Looks like there are several LGT's in DS, so I think thats where I want to be. Before I crawl under the car, does a rear sway bar really put this car in STU? See you guys tonight. --Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opie Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 After attending and competing in STU now I really want a rear sway bar NAD baetter brakes, other than that the cars handling is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyGT Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Had a blast!!! Best time was a 55.172 and placed 9th out of 42 people in SM. I was running a stock WRX turbo (TD04L) and still beat a large majority of the guys out there in modified STi's!!! There were definitely some pretty modified cars out there in SM and I was still faster. Here are my runs: TIMES: 1) 57.954 O/C 2) 55.929 3) 56.080 4) 55.172 Looking foward to next year. So far I have been to 2 Suby Challenge's and havent been disappointed yet. Thanks to Opie and the SouthEastern Subaru Region reps. for putting on these events. -Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quest Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 I had a lot of fun too, would have been nice to get a run on dry pavement though. I was in the first group, came in 2nd in DS with the LGT, but my times were a bit slower then yours on the wet (60.2ish) took 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 After attending and competing in STU now I really want a rear sway bar NAD baetter brakes, other than that the cars handling is awesome! Coilovers with stock brakes, stock sways and better tires goes a long way Nice meeting you Opie Finished with a 55.027.. I came in around 4th or 5th for STU since the 2 or 3 other national drivers (like Tom Hoppe) was there to run in an STi with a time of a 53.2xxx or something low like that. Still had a good time, my co-driver almost dipped my car into the marsh haha Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I just looked up the results, if I brought down my R-comps, I could have won ESP! Damn the pro-drivers for squeezing into STU As for PAX, I finished 20th overall, which was 4 spots shy of the All-Star Challenge.. If I brought down the RS, I would have come in first and finished in the top 10 for sure. Maybe next year I'll bring the RS. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quest Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 Keefe, I met you for about 2 seconds Saturday. Next time I guess I will be competing against you guys in STU, I am about to order some coilovers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
