We're hoping to have a couple different brackets depending apon how many come to race and the types of Subaru's they're driving. It's all in fun and I want to keep it light but I want it to be fair and close too. So if enough cars show up it will be something like this.

Old Gen. Subarus:

F/I (turbo) class. This will include DL-T's, GL-T's, XT-T, ect..

N/A class. This will include all O.G. carbureted and fuel injected engines.

New Gen. Subarus:

2.2 N/A. This will include all Legacy and Impreza models with the EJ22

2.5 N/A. This will include all Legacy, Impreza and Forester models with the EJ25

2.0 F/I. This will include the USDM WRX and EJ20T conversions and any JDM 2.0 F/I engine. Any Impreza RS-T 2.5 F/I conversions will be in this class as well.

2.2 F/I. This will include the 91-94 Legacy turbo and any other model running an EJ22T as well as any EJ22 F/I conversions.

2.5 F/I This will include the Forester XT, the Baja XT, the new Legacy 2.5GT and any non-STI EJ257 conversions.

F/I unlimited. This will include the USDM STI and any heavily modded
(280+ CHP) EJ20T, EJ22T or EJ257.

This is best case scenario if a lot of people show. Most likely it will end up being a F/I class and a N/A class. So far I think we have 1 EJ18T car, 4 EJ20T cars, 8 EJ22T cars, 1 EJ257 FXT, 3 STI EJ257 cars , 3 EJ22 cars and 3 EJ25 cars.

We will have a few non-Subaru's present as well. Gumpy is bringing his Evo 8, Roman is bringing his '99 V8 SHO and Boostjunkie, who recently crashed (he was forced of the road by another driver) his 300 chp '91 Legacy SS, gets to bring his Celica GT-S.

It also looks like we may be getting at least one vendor setting up a booth too. Motor Sport Resources Inc. ( www.msr-usa.com ) is going to have a booth and a raffle for some CES Racing goodies like a CES upipe and crosspipe (retails for $555)!


Here is some safety info from the BSD website. This only applies to those that are going to race and I'm not sure how strictly they inforce some of these rules, like the drive shaft strap. I've ran there before and don't remember them checking for 'em. You definitely will need to wear pants, shoes, socks, t-shirt to the middle of arm no matter how fast you are, and have a Snell 95 helmet if you're faster then 13.99.

All cars and bikes must meet IHRA safety standards.
Here is a short list of minimums.
All cars must have a radiator catch can, all wheel lugs, battery
hold down, seat belts. In short, no unsafe cars.
If your car runs 13.99 or faster (100 MPH) you must also have a
drive shaft loop.
If you run aftermarket wheels and run 11.99 and faster, you
need long wheel studs. ($15 at speed shops)
If you run 11.49 and faster (115 MPH) you must have a roll bar.
> As a driver you must have long pants, real shoes and socks,
t-shirt to the middle of the arm.
At 13.99 seconds you are required to wear a Snell 95
approved helmet.
At 11.49 seconds you are required to have a SFI Jacket.

I'm hoping this grows into a nice sized event so come out and have a great time.
