Just Got Back From Subaru MotorSports Day (PICS)

[ScoobyNubieToo!]

I just got back from Subaru MotorSports Day. The weather was perfect. They had great food (hotdogs, hamburgers, ribs, chicken, potato salad, coleslaw, fruit salad, chips, donuts, juice), a tour of the parts warehouse, judging and prizes for show participants, ESX featuring Julie Stepan, Bosal, display cars, lots free goodies like T-shirts, hats, and various other things. I even bumped into a few fellow TST'ers! I know the Subaru guys were a little disappointed with the turnout (about 25 Subarus) but it was a fun day. Here's some pics:

The Purple STI won for best exterior and the car next to it won for best overall. Way to represent, Evil Imports!

Julie Stepan-looked stunning in person! She was really sweet too...a serious racer also. Interested in seeing in her race at Englishtown.

[ScoobyNubieToo!]

This car was also a winner. Insane amount of work was done to this car. Very Nice!

You skipped over the RS-T and my legacy!

[Silver04STi]

Wish I would have known about this. Looks like it was a good time. I have always wanted to go in that Subaru warehouse.

[ScoobyNubieToo!]

You skipped over the RS-T and my legacy!Were you guys late comers? 'Cause I took most of these pics very early on in the show...

[ScoobyNubieToo!]

Wish I would have known about this. Looks like it was a good time. I have always wanted to go in that Subaru warehouse.
It was pretty cool.....I couldn't believe how huge that warehouse was.

[TehWagon]

[TehWagon]

*******!. why didn't they call ME??!?!?!?! GOSH. :furious: how does one get into that line of business b/c to me, that is the DREAM job. grr.

[teh DIRT]

so that ugly ass green and black car had no downpipe? anyone?

[j.reed]

the ugly green and black car was a very unfinished project that arrived on a trailer. No intake setup no exhaust setup 4 feet of steel line just coiled up next to the dash. Ugly ass tail lights and it won for best engine bay :-O with the RS-T sitting right across from it.

[UnderPoweredRS]

My RS stayed in the same spot until about 11pm last night then I finaly got it started and now it's stuck at a diner that I went to, to get some coffee after hours of trouble shooting it. :-(

[WRX27]

[TehWagon]

perfect candidate for the upcoming events section next time!

i'm suprised no one heard about it from any of the other forums... oh well - i would have been busy anyway!

[ScoobyNubieToo!]

perfect candidate for the upcoming events section next time!

i'm suprised no one heard about it from any of the other forums... oh well - i would have been busy anyway!I didn't get the e-mail about this event from Subaru until like 3 days before it happened. The Subaru guy looked pissed when I told him that....he said those emails were supposed to get sent 2 weeks b4 the event.

[UnderPoweredRS]

I knew about it but I thought it was a invite only kind of thing thats why I never said anything about it. It turned out you could have just pulled right up a showed your car.

you did get the RS-T in a photo

Ralph, it was an invite only thing, but anyone can request an invite. If the turn out was higher, I'm sure they would have asked people for their invitations.

<--- Showed up in a DSM, uninvited, and parked in the Subaru show section.

"Thats a weird looking Subaru"

The invites were for 175 people, 175 people didn't show up. I'm sure if they saw people just saying they were going to show up on the forums (yes, they read them), they'd ask for invitations. You didn't have to show up in a subaru even if you were invited.

[WRX/Z28]

Did they advertise this? Was I sleeping? What gives, I woulda went. Sheesh

[ScoobyNubieToo!]

Did they advertise this? Was I sleeping? What gives, I woulda went. SheeshI got the email from Subaru the Wednesday before the event. When I told the SUbaru event co-ordinator this, he nearly blew his stack 'cause he said they were supposed to go out two weeks before that!
