I'm Mad, my cousin is coming up to run from the bay area in his Boxster S and I can't go. My wife is working for the company doing the tax and she have to work this Sat (last week before the Tax due date). I have to watch the kids. Unless they let me run my minivan in the course with my kids in car seats with helmets. :)

I will stop by and see your guys.

Have fun

Yup. Drive slow though please. :)

Found this with a quick search too:

Stead Airport -- Stead is located just North of Reno
1: From the Interstate 80 and US 395 junction, take US 395 north from Reno (towards Susanville.)
2: Take the Stead Blvd. exit and turn right (East).
3: Continue on Stead Blvd. all the way into the airport. At the "Y" intersection, remain in the right lane.
4: Once through the airport gates, turn left at Alpha and immediately right on Petriciani.
5: Proceed to the grandstand area to park and register.

Who else is pumped!!? I'm all set except I still need to make my number and badge magnets. What about the Subaru badge on the front grill? Do I have to cut that out of the stock grill and glue it to my aftermarket grill?

Doesn't an aftermarket grill put you in street mod?

Opps! It sure does!:D

cody	2007-04-13 08:03 AM

Oh yah, I was wondering about that...and then forgot.

cody	2007-04-13 08:04 AM

Doh! I guess I'll put the old one back on. :(

Yeah, I probably wouldn't have protested because I think its kind of a stupid rule. But you never know about that shady Derrick character. He might.

cody	2007-04-13 08:14 AM

:lol: I might just skip the whole badges/grill thing and run ESP despite the rules. Even if by some miracle I actually won and then got challenged...oh well.

NevadaSTi

2007-04-13 08:24 AM

Once I start running ESP, you might have to make sure you are up to spec on the rules. Butt then again, an aftermarket grill bumps you into street mod????? That's about the most stupid thing I have ever heard of in my life.

Well, maybe the ex-wife saying she still loves me, either way, its pretty stupid.

cody	2007-04-13 08:27 AM

You would be in BSP I think. Could you still protest me?

cody	2007-04-13 08:28 AM

IB Cory tells me to man-up and run SM. :P

Looks like we might get that snow you guys have been asking for.

Quote:

Saturday: A 50 percent chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 50. West southwest wind around 16 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph. New snow accumulation of around an inch possible.

I might protest Cory into SM just to have a funny story to tell people.

I think it's silly that cosmetic changes that don't affect performance bump you up a class. Maybe because I'm a newbie to autox there is something I don't understand, but it seems pointless.

A grill can affect performance though. Maybe its not noticeable on Subarus, but on other cars it can be. Increasing air flow, redirecting air flow, weight reduction, etc. These are all things that national level competitors worry about. When races come down to hundredths of a second, every little bit becomes important.

Yah, but you'll be driving a Mustang. :P

NevadaSTi

2007-04-13 09:03 AM

That's my point exactly, I'll be driving a Mustang, and you will still be slower. I'll get a sticker that says, "You just got beat by an old school Mustang!"

Kevin M

2007-04-13 09:04 AM

How is a '90 Mustang "old school"? :lol:

NevadaSTi

2007-04-13 09:07 AM

302's have been around since, 1967

So, how is that for old school american muscle.

Kevin M

2007-04-13 09:09 AM

Irrelevant, since your car was made almost 30 years after the model debuted. :p

It's old in "Ford years". :P

NevadaSTi

2007-04-13 09:14 AM

How so, its still basically the same motor. Except for some minor changes over the years due to smog regulations. In other words, I could take a C7AE block, and build it up to an F0AE spec motor. And vis-versus. So, I don't see how its irrelevant.

A 302 is still a 302, no matter what year car it is in.

Kevin M

2007-04-13 09:15 AM

You still don't have an old school Mustang. You have a Mustang with an old engine. If I put that 302 in a 240Z, is it suddenly an old school Ford?

Jeez dude, haven't you learned not to get into semantic arguments on this forum? :lol:

NevadaSTi

2007-04-13 09:23 AM

Nope, just because YOU say its something, doesn't exactly make it true.

cody	2007-04-13 09:25 AM

Hey the Hella Horns I just installed don't put me in Street Mod too do they? :?:

Alrighty then. I suggest you take it to a dude who actually does own an old school Mustang and see what he thinks about you calling your '90 Fox "old school." ;)

What if I took out that 5.0L v12 BMW motor and put it in a Mustang... is the car still the same? :P

Besides, you *can't* take a 1965 mustang motor and put it in a 1990 body and run in ESP. The line in the ESP rules is for '79-'93. So you can update/backdate only within those years, and ESP doesn't allow you to "build up" a motor outside of the factory specs w/ factory parts.

NevadaSTi

2007-04-13 09:40 AM

HAHA, just in case you have forgotten. The car I had before I got my STI was a 1965 Mustang with a 289 V8 4v.

I think I am qualified to have an opinion.

For shame. THAT was an old school Mustang... the one you're getting is not. Your entitlement to an opinion does not come with a guarantee of correctness. :p

Yes, he had mercy on us by not making the SM class encompass basically all Subarus in the club. :lol:

NevadaSTi

2007-04-13 09:44 AM

I am not talking about taking a 67 Ford 302 block, hence the C7AE designation, and making it into a 1990 (F0AE) motor. I was mearly talking about how a 302 Ford V8 is considered an old school power plant.

'65 fastback with Triton V8 = old school.

'90 Mustang with C7AE = not old school.

'93 Impreza with '05 STi drivetrain swap = old school Impreza.

'07 WRX with '94 EJ22E = not old school, even though it has an old school motor.

Your CAR is not old school. Neither is your motor technically, but that's really splitting hairs.

Your opinion. Which, like everyone else's, is worth about as much as the turd I just finished flushing down the toilet.
