Chu, I dunno who signed up for what days but there are some people who just did one and not both. Last I checked @ 11pm last night there were 112 out of 225 registered but that was before it was extended.

If you want to get annual tech done shoot adam aka evo8dad a PM, he is the one setting up the appointments/doing the annual inspections.

The new shoes are great, I've been very happy with them. They are a little less twitchy than the A046's, but I'm sure that is due to the wider tire. I've been running 34psi in the front and 36psi in the rear. The rear seem to have a significantly smaller contact area during normal driving. When you start to corner hard, the outer tread comes into play. I haven't been able to find the limits of the tires on the street, and I have been trying...

Now I have to improve my driving. I can't blame my crappy all-seasons for poor auto-x times anymore.

Caleb, why don't you, Chad & Mark come to the Holbert Autox on Sunday in Warminster and make it a RACE weekend!. Its not that far from your shop and it should be a great time with a decent amount of runs! Link to event registration a few posts back.

Look how I am representing CBRD, look at license plate frame! Somebody took this picture on Sunday while my car was still on the trailer....

As of now it looks like 7 evo's are running at the auto-x compared to 11 Subies. Like i said earlier i hope to be in attendance but definitely not running. Hopefully with the extended signup a few more evo guys will make it out.


and yeah..... I really want to go the blouch event. There better be tons of pictures and videos for my viewing pleasure for when i get home from work. haha

Actually Pete, I wont have to run to tech at every event if I had the yearly tech, which is completed one time.
