    Maybe I'll bring my Explorer. It hasn't been rolled recently...

    ;)

    Bring the Explorer and come watch. It's always fun to watch scoobies on the track! Also we can roll this into an Edmunds BBQ or something too.

    I haven't been to Summit Point in 25+ years. I'll give it some thought.

    How far is that from DC?

    I might be able to go, but most likely I'd have to bring my daughter with me. Right now it's She who has all the credits saved up for free days, daddy's debt.

    I could bring tools and be a support vehicle, help Subie owners mount rims and stuff.

    it's a bit over an hour from my place, maybe 1.5 hour?

    So distance it not an issue. Thing is, my toddler gets scared by loud noises, like cars running near redline. We'll see, ask me again when it's a bit closer to that time.

    I gotta figure a way to get her into cars, right now the only car she likes is Barbie's 'vette roadster! At least she's playing with those Subaru stickers from the NY show, LOL.

    If we go, maybe leave from your place, since it's a bit closer. It's about 15-20 miles past Harpers Ferry, W VA.

    Still not sure yet, however...

    I might be able to make that. $35 to join isn't too bad......

    Team IAC will be at Jefferson Circuit/Summit Point this weekend for an HPDE with BMWCCA. :) Hopefully some of the DC folks can come out and hang for a bit.

    Already? Wasn't it June?

    Saturday we'll probably be buying my little sister's car (maybe a Forester), Sunday is Mother's Day so we're doing a little somethin' for the wife and my step mom.

    We'll be @ Summit Point in June as well. :)

    So you can hookup with us then :)

    Jefferson Circuit @ Summit Point Raceway was great.

    On the way down we met a SOA PR rep on the NJTP @ a rest area who had an '04 WRX Wagon. We chatted, collected his card and then we all cruised down the TP together, nice guy. He was quite suprised when the RS-T pulled on him and the SVX hung with him :) Hee Hee.

    We ran it in both directions (sat was counter clockwise and sun was clockwise) Had a ball. In the rain we were lapping the M3s and most all of the other BMWs! :) In the dry we were keeping up with em w/o too much issue!

    Can't wait to head down to Summit Point in June with NASA-VA!

    Did you go out I-70 (in MD) or I-66 (in VA)? If you went out I-70, you came within about 4 miles of my house.

    Bob
  • paisanpaisan Member Posts: 21,181
    Took 95->695->70->340->something or other :)

    We staying in Winchester, VA, but next time we'll stay in Charles Town I think.

    That's the way I go.

    If you're at all into Civil War history, you should stop by Harpers Ferry (John Browns raid), which you go right past. It's a national park, right on the banks of where the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers merge.

    Nice that you had a good time at the track.

    Hey folks, this is going to be the meet to end all meets this summer!

    http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=36- 5268

    We'll have subies from Maine to Florida showing up! C'mon down.

    -mike
  • bluesubiebluesubie Member Posts: 3,497
    We're leaving from SC and heading to the Outer Banks on that day. I'll try to stop by on our way up.
    My parents are going to the OBX with us for a few days, so it would be cool for them to see so many Subes.

    From nasioc. Sign-up there (tri-state forum)if you're interested. Unfortunately, I can't make it.

    "When: 7/12/03 6:00 p.m.
    Where: Penang Malaysian Restaurant in Edison right by RT-1 S. 505 Oldpost Rd. Edison, NJ 08817
    Restaurant tel: 732-287-3038

    I need to get a head count by next Wednesday, so I can make a reservation. Let's get these great big meetings going people.

    Note: Since the parking lot for the restaurant is quite small to fit all our babies there, I suggest we park in the plaza straight across from it. Can fit at least 50 cars w/o problems"

    Mike-

    Sounds like it would be fun, but I have Bruce tickets for that night. Why is that day so popular? First the I95 meet, now this.

    Here's my guess as to US Subaru new model debuts:

    LA: Legacy

    This auto precedes the Detroit show by a few days. I'm betting the all-new Legacy will debut there.

    Detroit: 7-passenger crossover

    My gut feeling that Subaru will use this show (it's the most important car show in the world) to debut their all-new crossover. It follows the LA show by about a week. We already have a pretty good idea about the the new Legacy, and we know very little about the crossover. I think Subaru will get more press exposure by introducing the crossover here, and the Legacy at LA.

    Chicago: Outback

    I think the Legacy, since it's in the greatest need of publicity will debut before the Outback. So, my guess is the Outback will debut in February, one month after the Legacy debuts.

    NY: Impreza, Forester, Baja

    By the time the NY show rolls around, I'm betting most of the big news will have been announced. So that leaves NY to flush out the rest of the lineup.

    I know it's last minute, but if anyone is around tonight a few of us from the NA**C board are getting together on Staten Island. It's at Applebee's off New Dorp and Hylan Blvd around 7-7:30 PM. Meeting in the lot near the bank.

  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    Bob: what is there to show on the Impreza and Forester? I don't think those will get updated until MY2005.

    Subaru is on a 5 year cycle, and they do a mild face-lift after 2-3 years. So neither of those are due.

    The Baja may show up, if they even do another one.

    -juice
  • rshollandrsholland Member Posts: 19,788
    I'm simply saying I think Subaru will show the '05 Impreza and Forester at NY, sans any fanfare; just like the '04 Outback showed this year without any fanfare.

    Subaru has historically used the NY show to show a "next-year model" of some sort, even if the changes are very minor.

    Bob
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    I see what you mean. We'll have to go see it in person. Maybe we'll hit Philly next year if they get the debuts from the bigger shows, and we have not seen them yet in person.

    Sounds like a big Crew meet, no?

    Count me in for Philly and New York! Be nice to finally meet everyone in person.

    I always go to the Washington, Baltimore and NY show. I've been to the Philly show once, and have never been to the Boston, or any other east-coast car show.

    Washington Show
    This opens the day after Christmas. I consider it the last of the previous year's auto shows. Rarely is there anything truly new shown, as the "new" stuff is reserved for LA and Detroit, which opens a week or two after the DC show. Still I go, and sometimes I'm surprised.

    Baltimore Show
    The show is, IMO, better than the DC show. It opens shortly after the Detroit show, so you stand a better chance of seeing new stuff. This past year the STi was shown at Baltimore, and this was a week or so after it was introduced at Detroit.

    Philly Show
    I don't know much about this show, but I sense it's considered a "minor" show by automotive show standards. The year I went they had the east-coast introduction of the WRX, and that's why I went. I sense from those who go to the Philly show regularly, that it's mostly a disappointment.

    NY Show
    The NY show is considered to be the last of the "important" US-auto shows of the season. Here you can see all the new stuff that was introduced at LA, Detroit and Chicago, as well as some other never seen before vehicles. Subaru has historically shown some of its next year's models here, whether they have minor upgrades or major upgrades.

    In any case, I'm up to going to all the above if we get a "Crew" together.

    Bob
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    I'm in. I'm not going to Brazil this year, so I'll be around even for the DC Show.

    You always get surprises. The DC show had the 2000 Neon debut (big deal, I know, but still) a week or two before the "official" debut at one of the bigger shows. You just never know.

    Philly is worth it if Subaru shows new models and because we can meet up with Patti. It's a good mid-point for Mid-A folks, too.

    I said "or two," so let's go to both places. ;)

    Bob
  • jlemolejlemole Member Posts: 345
    All of South Philly just groaned, Bob! There have been turf wars over this. You'll have to declare your allegiance. I'm a Pat's man myself.

    Anyway, I think a Philly meet sounds great, especially if we can arrange to meet with Patty. Do you know when it is?

    Jon
  • rshollandrsholland Member Posts: 19,788
    I think that where we went last time.

    1. I was out of work for 3 days after the Philly Auto Show from food poisoning courtesy of Pat's.

    2. The originator of the cheesesteak (Pat's) uses Cheese Whiz!!??.

    3. Pat's doesn't clean the gril. That adds "flavor" according to an interview I saw on the Food Network. Gino's is nice and tidy and keeps the grill clean.

    We're talking about the Spring '04 auto shows already???

    Just 2 blocks from the Convention Center is one of my favorite little restaurants in the city, Vietnam. We always go there after the Auto Show, Flower Show, a trip to the Reading Terminal Market...we don't need any excuse.

    Eating at the Terminal Market is an experience in itself. (That's Philly's slightly smaller version of Seattle's Pike Place Market for you in the PNW. There's also the larger Italian Market in South Philly but Reading Terminal is right across the street and all under one roof.)

    Dennis: You must have watched that "Eating on $40 a Day" show. I learned recently that I actually went to college with one of the Food Network show hosts, but our school is very large so I can't say I knew him personally.

    We did cheesesteak last time, we could try something new...

    Why do I always get hungry on Edmunds? :-)

    Aug 16-17:

    Team IAC will be at Summit Point Raceway doing the NJBMWCCA HPDE! C'mon out saturday or sunday and watch us beat up on some Bimmers! Hee Hee, it'll be the debut event for the "L" and Zephyr will likely lap the M3s if it's raining :)

    It's close for you guys in the DC/Balto area. Heck there are spots left if anyone wants to DRIVE it!

  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    I really want to go, but what is there for a 4 year old to do? She's gonna get bored pretty quick.

    I actually met a guy here at work in IT that is an instructor at FATT events. He's going that same weekend to race his heavily modified CRX (roll cage and all). He tows it on a flat bed, it's a pure race set up. Pretty cool.

    -juice
  • bluesubiebluesubie Member Posts: 3,497
    Yeah, it was $40 a day.

    When we watch TV, my wife and I go back and forth between Food and Speed (as long as NASCAR isn't on). :-)
