Hello everyone!

My name is Jake and I've recently... acquired... a new subaru. I've been over at the NASIOC forums, looking for a local chapter and found none. I did a quick google search and found you guys.

Anyway, to keep this short, I drive an 08 Impreza 2.5i base model which I hope to mod eventually.

Thanks and I hope to meet everyone next Thursday.
Jake

Cool beans. Nice to meet you tonight.

It was a small meet, but at least you finally found us.

For sure. Hopefully SECCS is going to be a lot more helpful than random people over the internet when I begin modding.

Come out to the Autocross school on April 5th and drive/ride with us.

Learning to drive the snot out of it stock will help you decide what to do first.

Snowboard season is almost over... the car needs a ton of work done to it, but I should start showing back up pretty soon. Welcome to the board

Sorry I missed the meet. My parents came into town a day early to miss the weather over the pass and I couldn't come out.

I'm working on those and will post something by the weekend, but plan to be at Stead Airport by 8:00 on Saturday April 8th with your car cleaned out and at least 1/3 of a tank of gas.

You might also want to get on RenoSCCA.org. It has a mailing list for upcoming events and a set of forums as well.

Yes. $15 weekend membership and $25/day for the event. If you decide to become a full member some or all of your weekend membership is applied.

So $40 total. By full member, you mean a membership at the track/airport or with SCCA?

Full SCCA Membership is between $45 and $75+++ I think depending on age and if you have family joining as well. So about 3-5 weekend's worth of events.

Welcome Jake!

Oh, and since everyone is dishing out excuses, I had to do a timing belt/water pump/cam seals on my car last night, and by the time I was done, the meet wasn't happenin'...
