This past weekend I was given the opportunity to cover one of the biggest enthusiast car events, Subiefest. Given that it was an all Subaru event, there were a few evos, domestic muscle, some BMWs, and one troll GTR that literally non stop circled the entire event as if the event was planned for his car. Anyways, this was another eXtremespeed event which meant that there plenty of track time for all the subie owners as well as the non subaru drivers (although I'm not quite sure why they showed up to an event like this). There was also a autocross track which was pretty good considering the amount of drivers that went through it.
When I was in high school, I always wanted a 2006 sti, the look of it was mean and I could never get over the sound of a boxer...magnified through an aftermarket exhaust, of course. Aside from the looks and sounds, it had a turbo! which was a big thing back in the day....next to vtec....I guess. Now that I've moved on and don't own a sti, I still have a little love for these cars and would probably consider getting one in the near future to use a little daily.
The car show turn out was pretty good, even the cars that weren't in the show and parked in the normal parking lot was a car show on its own; it was also pretty cool seeing a mobile dyno at work. The vendor section was pretty cool from the amount of sponsored cars that were there. There were raffles for a lot of cool prizes, an exhaust competition, and free energy drinks...which was handy considering I forgot to bring water.
From the carshow and vendor area, I was able to explore the pits and garages of the racers. It was pretty cool how each garage was set up to let you see how people prepared their cars for the track. Seeing crawford performance's impreza was a little spectacle all by itself as it turned a lot of heads every time it started and moved.
Overall, another great car show brought to you by eXtremespeed. Being at events like these always are always a blast to go to because not only do you get to see specific brand/model cars all ppurtyd up, you also get to see the same cars in action on the track and see what they're capable of.
