I think all the i-club members that were there, should have been wearing some kind of i-club hats or jackets so we can say hello to one another. I did not recognize anyone out there.
i-club, if you're reading this, please sell us some hats to wear at an event like this.

On another note, maybe I missed the reason, but whats with all the turned exhausts?
Also, I am going to copy this thread into the motorsports section too
That sucks!

The PDX car won the Subaru Trip to Japan part of the challenge. The GST car won the Redline event, and was one bad *** car. It wasn't qualified for the Japan Challenge, and that is the difference.
The GST car is a great car, and the team a great team.

Indeed, we as enthusiast should show the same professionalism as the teams do.
The GST car, as is the Crawford and the Eaststreet cars, is very fast. The teams are great teams, and all of them showed incredible sportsmanship. The GST guys loaned us a part off their personal WRX mid event. They also helped the EasyStreet guys do a transmission swap in the last hour.
The entire event was filled with good competition and good will. We all represented the Subaru brand well.
We should all strive to keep this from becoming a pissing match. That goes against exactly what this event was meant to bring out. The Subaru teams present did an incredible job getting their cars together, as well as supporting the other teams.

As was mentioned above, the GST car ran a better time. The GST car was not qualified for the Subaru Japan Trip Challenge part of the event because they were not able to run on Saturday.
As also mentioned above, the GST car is a great car. Unfortunatly they weren't able to get out Saturday to qualify for the Subaru Japan Trip, but they were able to make it Sunday and lay down some great times.
The PDX car was a completly new car from just 4 weeks ago, being transformed from the Ultimate Street Car trim to a complete race trim. It still has LOTS of bugs to be worked out, which the next several months will provide.
All of the teams present represented the Subaru crowd well, as we will all represent the US in Japan.
