Here is the latest update from SOA's Phil Pausmer:

SUBARU SHOW DOWN UPDATE 4/1
The car show classes will be as follows:
Best Impreza (non turbo)
Best Impreza Wagon (non turbo)
Best WRX (or turbo/chgr added)
Best WRX Wagon (or turbo/chgr added)
Best Legacy/Outback/Baja
Best Forester
Best Classic Subaru (1980-1990)
Best Vintage Subaru (Pre 1980)

From the above 8 classes we will award the following:
Best Modified Street Performance
Best Modified Competition Subaru
Best O/all appearance (Exterior)
Best O/all Appearance (Interior)

The 12 trophies are beautiful custom Lucite bases with removable 1/8th scale SRT WRX AutoArt models tagged Lovell/Turvey. These are special limited run models and not available through normal channels. Models are about 10" long and extremely detailed.

The show will be limited to 100 cars only. No advance registration will be done. The Paloma Vista Park will open at 6:30 AM for on-site registration. The directions are on the www.rimoftheworldrally.com website. The park is about 1 mile from the Holiday Inn Rally Headquarters.

Restrictions: The show is on a beautiful grass soccer complex. We are limited to 2MPH speeds on the grass for move in and out. Any wheel spinning will be grounds for removal. We are first time guests of the City of Palmdale and need to be invited back.

Schedule. All cars must be in place by 9:30AM. Judging starts at 10:00AM. I would suggest being there early as park access is limited. Judging will continue during the rally restart activities. Winners will be announced after the rally restart activities (1:30- 2:00PM)

Fee: None. Entry registration includes a succulent gourmet hot dog lunch BBQed over imported mesquite charcoal with expensive condiments of your choice and beverage.

You will not be able to leave the park with your vehicle until after the rally restart activities have been completed (1:30PM approx). You can leave your car in the park if you choose and return anytime in the early evening and retrieve it. The park will be guarded. The full overlapping rally schedule and maps will be in the official rally program available in the park.

Long Distance Travelers: There is a car wash on 5th Street within sight of the Holiday Inn and about 1 mile from the event park. I would suggest coming in Friday afternoon and enjoy the rally start and have the time to remove a bug or two.

If you are staying o/night, make reservations now! Hotels are on the Rim Rally site. Many are sold out. Be sure and ask for the RIM Rate too. Save some $$s.

Please e-mail me if you plan to enter. Give me name and class.

just a quick note, if the trophies are 1/8 scale and are 10" long, that means our cars are 80" long (6' 8") or almost the width of my car (5' )...I think they are 1/18 scale, which is still very nice and the exclusivity of it makes it valuable...where are they being kept
