    Ryan... said: A member on R3v with the username uberg33k or something does rallying events at gravity park. Ryan is spot on. uberg33k is Hans, and he is into that stuff. He would be the man to talk to to find events, and even race against as a fellow e30 owner.

    It's too bad they can't make an N/A engine worth a darn. Even the turbo engines are problematic. Then again, I am an N/A snob. I did see someone with a standard Impreza (2010) and a large muffler+exhaust system. It sounded like any old 4 cyl with an exhaust, not like a WRX or STI with that burble. I bet they were pretty pissed off when they dropped a pretty dime on the exhaust and it didnt sound cool [image: :P] . They should have read up on equal vs. unequal length headers. I am still waiting for more pics from the meet. I want to see myself looking awkward in the background of pictures that I wasn't aware of.

    Registration is $210 for the event. You'll also need a closed face SNELL SA 2000 or newer helmet. Although rare, offtrack incidents can happen so it's a good idea to also get some track insurance to cover damage to your car. I use Lockton Infinity for the e30 (you set the value for your car and mods) and this runs me about $90 for the day. Total sounds steep if you've never done this before but figure that the $300 total works out to $3/minute of track time. Autocross at Miller Park factors out to about $6+/minute with a lot of down time. Different addictions and both are a blast.
