Goodhart used to be a Subaru guy, but now has an Evo.
Shane was talking to me about one they have up at DB right now, gunna help him put a scope to it to look at some of the crank/cam triggers. No idea who's that is.
I know pretty much most of them. I know Emily really well (saw her at the tuesday meet at calhoun), Bee Ive hung with a hangful of times. Sheen (owns a porsche now), Carl Seigler (zip tie rally) Ryan K, most everyone on MNsubaru, Tim the Plumber, Ginger Brian, Turtle/tall/round/ninja dans (yes, 4 different dans with nicknames) Dave Goodman.

You going to C&C Saturday?

Nah I'm actually heading up to Fargo this weekend. If you see Emily, tell her Brandon said what's up. She comes out to our Wednesday meets every once in awhile.

Here's a pic we never let her forget about. Kegger at my house back in like '07, on the hood of my old Gaylant



I know a Ginger Brian, but he doesn't drive a Subaru... Same guy I wonder? If you look at my dyno vid, he's in there (kinda does a slow-mo on him in the middle). If it's the same Brian, he's good ****. If you ever go to the MAP Proving Grounds, we're usually camped out at the same spot.

haha, yup! thats her. I'll tell her at the calhoun meet tomorrow. I'll be sure to print that picture and show her

Not the same Ginger Brian though. The one I know is a crazed subaru guy. He owns 2 now.

Im going to the Map proving grounds. Im pulling my camper up and spending the weekend as a spectator. Unless I decide to run my car for ******* and grins.

Cool stuff. I've been to the Proving Grounds the past two years. Just brought a tent and camped in the free area. I think that's by far the best way to go. It's where all the partying takes place at night. Made it to the final 4 last year with a f'd up tranny in my old Talon. Lost to another Talon, but was fun that I made it that far.

Not sure if I'll get to go this year, as I'm thinking the SC might not be ready in time.

Are campers not allowed in the free area? I dont need hookups, I have a self contained camper. I don't need power or water hookups.

If so we can set up a nice camp going.

I just spoke to my rally partner, and we're thinking of co-driving our rallyX car there. Might be fun. Who knows

oh yeah, you can have a camper in the free area too. I just assumed you meant in the "powered" area.

There's tons of camping space all over. Just park wherever and claim the area yours. The bigger party's usually are over by the loop area that's wide open. We tend to setup camp in the tree'd area for shade and rain protection. And that way when you do want to sleep it's not as loud. And we just go party at the other camp sites

Here's some pics from last year. We had a group of about 8 of us that camped together. GMC is my towing rig, and Talon was my race car. Other guys in my camp site raced a bike, another Talon, and a Miata. It's a great time, I hope my SC is ready in time, and I'll be there again.


Me playing leader of the pack




another good one to print out for Emily:

Spotted a white SC with intercooler, wheels and body kit on 694 yesterday around 6pm. looks really nice and i always see a black one with wheels on 61 going north by 94. that one looks nice also.
