Scca Touring 2 Racing Air Today On Speed, Dec. 3rd @ 2pm

04 silver bullet · 12-03-2005, 10:44 AM

Hey, Fellas, this just a friendly reminder to tune into our Touring 2 Runoffs race today at 2pm eastern time on the SPEED Channel. I'm a one of the two race techs on the ICY/Phoenix Subaru Factory Team. We kicked a$$ all season and finished off with a bang in this race. Most claimed this to be the best race of the entire weekend at the Runoffs. If you LOVE Subies, tune in. You won't regret it.

Thanks Jay. Finally, something worth watching on Speed again. I'm so sick of NASCRAP. I wish they cover more rallying also. Maybe even Rally America events. And who cares to watch a bunch of rednecks commenting about NASCRAP either. Speed should cover more of a variety of auto-racing IMO.

Anyway, sorry for the rant and thanks again Jay

Yeah I added an 'SCCA' keyword to the TiVo a while ago. I recommend it

Patrick L · 12-03-2005, 02:34 PM

MAN!! Talk about some bumping and banging.

crazy

You guys here the talk about Hemmingson and his team looking to get with Subaru about a Speed GT team. Any word on that?

psg · 12-03-2005, 02:46 PM

I doubt it. At SEMA they had an 06 STi on display, "prepped" for T2, so I expect them to go that route again.

REX8 · 12-03-2005, 02:57 PM

Wow, finally got to see it, great racing. Hopefull SOA will pony up some $$$ so they can go pro racing soon.

And why is it that all the SRt-4's like to punt everyone off the track out there. 7 out of 10 times a car goes off, its because of teh Neon diving down the inside being a jackass..

doghauler · 12-03-2005, 02:59 PM

I just watched the race! I knew who won already, but that was the best wheel to wheel, fender to fender race i've seen in a while. How about the amazing save the sti pulled with three laps to go through the carousel! Wow!

REDI-wgn · 12-03-2005, 03:05 PM

all i have to say is , 'what a race'
hemmingson is a drving ass b****.
thumbs up

kfoote · 12-03-2005, 03:05 PM

The '06 STi was also on display at the Runoffs.

The T2 race has been very good the last few years, and this was no exception. It's kind of a shame that Rob Hines got punted early on, he had been very fast all week. Many of the guys up front ran in the Northeast Division, and even during the regular National races they put on a good show from where I was sitting

This race was the best ever. The save was impressive, excellent driver.

D fresh · 12-03-2005, 03:08 PM

That race was the shiznit.

Hemmingson's (sp?) save in closing laps was awesome, you could tell that Knowles (in the f-body) gave him the chance to save the car and the position, that was pretty cool.

I was stoked to hear that SOA might launch a pro attempt in Speed GT or Trans-Am. I hope they do. BTW I see no SCCA designation on the front bumper, hopefully the '06 T2 car is a disguised Trans Am or Speed GT effort.

That was one of the most entertaining and rivoting races I've seen in a long time. I can't wait to see more Subies in these events. Makes me want to run out and enter T2. Maybe in 2007

bemani · 12-03-2005, 03:44 PM

Very exciting race. Nice amount of Subie exposures too

zoomfactor · 12-03-2005, 04:04 PM

One of the best races I've seen on television in a while.

You mean, Grand-Am and not Trans-Am.

pitwipe · 12-03-2005, 04:16 PM

What an incredible race! My heart was in my mouth the whole time. Congrats to everybody on the Subie team!

kevin 5150 · 12-03-2005, 04:34 PM

that was a great race!!!! i was just flipping throught the channels and found the F-500 race going on, so i thought i would watch to see what the next race was. it was the T-2 race and i was sooo glad that i got to see the Subie's kicking some arse. it was too bad that the caution came out about halfway through. Hemmingson was walking away with it with a 3 second lead.

but that was a GREAT race!!!!

hope that SOA does pony up some money for a full out Speed GT or Grand-Am effort. that would be fun to watch.

8Complex · 12-03-2005, 05:10 PM

Agreed, that was an AWESOME race. If all the races were like that, I'd tivo all those the same as WRC. A LOT of fun to watch.

Genya · 12-03-2005, 07:59 PM

Thanks for the heads up, that was a really good one! Go Subaru!

blue blurr · 12-03-2005, 08:07 PM

Do they have other T2 races? Or is it only the once a year thing at the runoffs?

srt4eh · 12-03-2005, 08:32 PM

was an awesome race.....great job

AndrewSS · 12-03-2005, 08:45 PM

awesome race, i got to see it live

joey1313 · 12-03-2005, 09:07 PM

That was fun to watch. Good job ICY\Phoenix.

meridock · 12-03-2005, 09:13 PM
