Subiefest2 - Saturday April 7, 2007

Get ready for the largest All-Subaru motorsport event in history: Subiefest2 (http://www.subiefest.com), Saturday April 7, 2007 at Portland International Raceway in Portland, Ore.

Fresh from his PWRC run at Rally Mexico, Travis Pastrana of the Subaru Rally Team USA will be on hand with his #199 Rally Car to sign autographs, meet fellow Subaru owners and run the course. Plus, Nobushige Kumakubo & Kazuhiro Tanaka of Team Orange will be presenting the world premiere of the all-new 2007 Spec C STI D1 Drift Car! They're not just coming to sign autographs, they're there to get sideways: D1-style!

Subiefest is also the place to see the only All-Subaru Time Attack in the USA. Watch Phil Grabow and his Element Tuning STI return to Subiefest. Also, can the Crawford STI once again 'dominate' in a field, this time among a sea of Subarus? Come and see. Time Attack runs all day!

See http://www.subiefest.com for details and to buy advance tickets.

Subiefest2 is sponsored by Subaru (http://www.subaru.com) and Perrin Performance (http://www.perrinperformance.com) and is presented by Subiesport Magazine (http://www.subiesport.com).

Subiefest OR WBM??

Subiefest OR WBM??

Two very different events. Go to both! ;)

Looks awesome, too bad its so far away.

looks like a good time will be had by all

For those that haven't been to Portland... you can literally fly in (PDX), take light rail from the airport to the racetrack (Delta Park/Vanport stop), walk to the hotel, and walk to the event.

The event itself is on Saturday. I'm sure that the festivities will continue through the weekend on an unofficial basis. :)

That's 2,097 mi from IL to Portland! Anyone coming from further away? We have a few coming down from Alberta, Canada, and several driving from Los Angeles... but those are only 1400 mi and 1000 mi respectively ;)

You forget that we'll be driving most of those 1400 mi through some of the best roads HWY1 has to offer ;), so this will be one tough journey!

Is there anywhere secure we can park a car and some equipment Friday night through till Sunday morning?

Yes, there will be a storage option for TA competitors and vendors. We will have details sewn up shortly.

Is there another way other than snail mail? If not then I would expect to see it on Monday or Tuesday.

Mike

Nope, just snail because of the signature and check requirement. Keeps everything together. Given the level of chaos at the office right now -- with all the event pre-planning -- we need things to be as easy as possible. ;)

Well, drag racing ends around midnight and Portland has an insane number of strip clubs per capita. I'm sure you can find something to stay occupied ;)

No, but seriously, check the NW regional forum here on NASIOC, as I've seen some discussion of before- and after-event activities.

The Dancing Bare is about 1/4 mile from PIR. But supposedly the best is the A-crop in SE portland. But there are some places in N Portland near PIR.

Bar wise, The T (Twilight) Room is on Lombard, about a mile from PIR. Or for your karaoke needs there is the Albi down off interstate, again about a mile from PIR. Then theres all the stuff downtown and around that area.

Hey Ryan, did you get my PM?

How much are tickets? Our internet here in Iraq blows and wont let me open the subiefest page.

This time trial event they are going to run is really screwed up!! The format is screwy but other than that! They really need to have a showroom stock class or something if they are gonna let the Crawford Performance car run in the "street class". I was very much considering running this event until I saw that. I don't feel like spending $250 to get my a$$ kicked by that car. If anyone on this board has any pull with the guys putting subifest on convince them to open up a stock class for the time attack event please!!

The classes as we have them helps keep the field a managable size. We have a lot of stuff happening on (and off) the track this year and can't spend every minute running cars in the TA. We also have to give Team Orange and Pastrana some time, plus get it all cleared off for drags starting at 6pm (through midnight). We'd like to make the TA open to a lot more competitors, but we also don't want to get in over our heads and make the event a complete mess in the process.

If this next event goes smoothly (much bigger than #1, plus different timing equipment) we'll look at at expanding classes for 2008. If it doesn't go smoothly, well, we'll see. :lol:

I'll be there! Road trip from Sea-Town baby!

So I'm contemplating driving 16 and 1/2 hrs., according to mapquest, to go there. But I'm kinda thinkin it's to far cause i would have to turn right around the next day and come home. Why did my parents have to send me to college?

Lol sucks to hear... well we're driving out in a caravan with a group of 12maybe 15 cars! you're welcome to join us.

Oh, and we had classed the Crawford car incorrectly. They've added a cage, and will be running in Unlimited. Looks like "Street" is suddenly lot more competitive. ;)

I may have to call quirt and the gang, if they're making the drive than can join the caravan... :banana:

I take it you folks are driving up the 5 on Friday? If it works out we could all meet up somewhere along the ways?

Mike

We're actually driving up on thursday, but your'e welcome to join us too.

RalliTEK and crew will be there! Be sure to come by our booth to enter to win great prizes and get some RalliTEK swag!:)

I'm bummed ...no rally-X at this event?...that would draw alot of other subie enthusiasts...not just the WRX crowd...

The fields adjacent to the track were unavailable. However, we will have drags, autocross and lots of stuff to watch and do.

Damn I wish I could get thursday morning off but I have overtime all this week and if it was not for the fact the I requested friday off like a month ago I would not even be going. And coming from palmdale if you left at 6am you would be here before noon so no good for me to even try and meet up. Well maybe I will see some of you guys up there then since I dont know who to meet up with friday morning. Have a safe drive though.
