These 2 days will be even more crowded than last year since they count for points this year.

Advice? Get there early, walk the course with someone who has done it before, bring a helmet (you can borrow them, but its best to have your own), be prepared for the biggest adreneline rush you ever had

I think the fact its 2 days will spread out the crowd a bit, and there might be people who wont come because of last year...

My hope is tha the course is setup better and they don't have those retards who were stoping the course every 5 minutes...

What kind of car do you have, and what mods have you done to it?

By "brakes" what exactly do you have? If you have Brembos with 1-piece rotors, you are in B Street Prepared. If you have 2 piece rotors and no engine management, you could run STU. But if you have a reflash/AP and 2 piece rotors, you are in Street Modified.

ok cool, the brakes are 2 piece rotors, and i have yet to reflash. btw since you are here, i wanted to ask, b/c when i put on my TBE, i noticed a pretty significant difference, however i am told that there is a huge difference when you have that and the reflash. also does that mean that my car will stop running so rich after i get the reflash, becuase when i am idling at the light, my friggin exhaust is pouring really smoky exhaust out, and that started right after i put the TBE on.

Yeah, more power from the reflash, but even better you get faster throttle response, faster spoolup, better mileage... it's all good.

Alrighty, the run groups us Subaru folks are usually in are running in the morning on Saturday... I'm planning on being there before 8am. I know of at least 2 other scoobs coming.

I made a post for track surface info. I'll delete that. How is it? Is it rough or slippery?

Its not slippery, but it has a bit of loose gravel on the edges of the track (its swept before hand)
