GRM rollcall:2013 SCCA solo Nationals

Who's going to be there?

I will be there with a group of guys/girls from Central Il.

I'm running #97/197 Silver WRX in RTA Paddocked in Row 11.

Will be there Monday, Tues, Wed

I wish I was going, just can't swing it this year. Hopefully I will be there next year. Have fun.

i'M IN.... I'm not 100% sure what I'm driving yet. I had planned on STF #3 .... but things may have just changed.

I keep telling myself, next year, next year... Unfortunately, this is not that "next year". I really need to commit to making a full season of autocross.

Same here.

Alright, registered in STF. I might be the only KIA in Lincoln competing this year.

Anyone need/want a co-drive?

I'll be there, 67 STF, 2013 Honda CR-Z, you can read a brief blurb about it in the latest issue of the magazine.

i live there!

whens the grm dinner?

I wish. It always conflicts with back to school -- and I can't get that time off. I did manage to go once, three years ago, when it was in the last week of August . . .

In reply to ZOO:

I never did understand the timing of it. It's the absolute worst possible time of year to take off for a week for anyone with children, who works in education, or who is a student, which is a rather huge proportion of the population. Back when I was in college and had spare time, I could never go, and at this point getting any whole week off seems unrealistic, so I have never competed at nationals despite really wanting to.

I'm going to try and make it to Lincoln this year (next month). Nebraska is one of two states I haven't been to yet and the SCCA nationals is the best excuse I can dream up. I barely have any vacation time left, so I'm debating which days I should go. The airfare isn't exactly negligible. Any GRMers that want to split a hotel room?

I love the variety we have for STF.... the class is still wide-open IMO.

I'll be there for the Finale and Nats. 44/144 RTA DS WRX (ABC, BBD, The East Coast Family)

I will be there for sure. I'm currently planning to run the #167 solodwarf in FM, but it's pretty untested at this point. If it isn't ready my codriver and I will drive his str miata. theres a bunch of us Canadians paddocked in row 4. Stop by for a beer.

there are precious few other reasons.

we've got a really great zoo?

Aw heck, you only live once. I bought a plane ticket to Nebraska to catch the Nationals and check two things off the bucket list in one mighty trip. I'll have a few days and likely a rental car...any local adventure/food/pub destination recommendations, aside from the races of course, are welcome. Something tells me that Lincoln isn't exactly Daytona when it comes to extracurricular activities.

Oh yeah, and for you locals... I've got a GRM Dork sticker I'll trade for couch space!

Register the rental car is some oddball class. Might get a trophy if you do it right!

I know of another name or two who might get added to that list. JG and I are still finalizing our plans.

bring it! If either of you needs a ride, I still have a seat open as well...

Tell me more about this Kia....

Bitch don't you go bailing on me now. I'm not going to be the only diesel-powered, can't-turn-off-traction-control sucker at the event.

Lightly prepped Forte SX 6-spd, sitting on k-sport supplied coilovers (10kfrt/12krr) with 17x7.5 K1's wrapped in pretty 225/45/17 Rivals. Stock 173hp engine, quiet exhaust (Also stock). Next year should be full prep with tune/exhaust/intake and posibly larger rear bars.

I was ~1 second behind the CR-Z at the Peru MAtch tour on my stock suspension if that helps..... and I suck.

Did I mention traction control turns off easily and you keep the non-intrusive ABS?

After posting that I realized it's a Thursday/Friday car. Don't worry, I'm your wheelman. This will be rad.

And yeah, looks like I'm in the Bug. And for the record, we are not running as car number 53.

Y'all should definately run 53!
