Davin & Koa will be running their WRXs at the event. Not enough to form their own class...but if we have 5 AWD Subarus or more, you could have your own class (and purse).

They tested it out on Saturday during the RallyCross. Good times...even without rally tires, they were pretty fast once they caught traction. Davin had some rally tires on, so I'm pretty sure some people are going to be surprised on Saturday.

You mean there won't be any 4 cylinder trucks to make the five minimum? I think I can get Mike W to come but only if there are the five minimum. That would suck if it's just me and Koa.

Oh no...there'll be plenty of that. I just meant the Subies could have their own class if you guys got 5 of you to come out.

Ok, gotcha. I thought for a moment we were only doing exhibition. I think most other Subies will be at the Toys for Tots cruise. But don't worry, Subies will be represented! Woot Woot!

That was fun for sure. I was shocked when I had the buggy the whole way. I got some plans to beat the Turbo Toyotas. Will see.

I'm telling you...with some mods, a Subaru could mop up the competition in the 4-cylinder competition. It's like drag racing only much, much easier on the components thanks to the give from the sand.

Did your Subie need much cleaning afterwards...did it get messed up at all?

Nope. In fact might have cleaned some of the mud from the RallyX.

Haha...good stuff. It's still drag racing. In fact, with AWD, you might have an advantage if you get the right tires!
