The 48hrs of Tristate Committee is happy to announce the 12th Annual Charity Drive January 17-20, 2013. We will be organizing this trip once again and this year we are heading North again to get back to some snow covered roads. Some background on The 48hrs... The trip was originally organized as a way for Subaru owners to get out and see the Tri-state area and meet other Subaru owners who share a passion for these cars. What better way than to have a group drive over a weekend in January? Since it's inception it has grown from 5 cars and 48hrs to 50+ cars and 3 days. This is the largest Subaru Group drive over multiple days, and you will meet a lot of great Subaru owners and bond over meals and miles! Not only is the trip a fun way to spend a weekend, we also are doing this to raise money for The American Cancer Society. All registrations and donations go directly to ACS and are a Tax Deduction. Additionally for every $10 you donate, you will get a raffle ticket for our door prizes donated by Subaru Vendors. The past few years we gave away about $10,000 in prizes each year thanks to the supporters of the event. Details and registration can be found at http://48hrs.info and Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/48hrsoftristate Highlights of the 2013 Trip: Friday Jan 18: Kickoff at Phoenix Racing, Home of the Subaru Road Race Team Group Drive up to Burlington Vermont Saturday Jan 19: Tour and Visit at Vermont Sports car, Home of the Subaru Rally Team Backroads Drive through the picturesque Adirondack Mountains Raffle Dinner and Party at Dunham's Bay Resort in Lake George, NY Sunday Jan 20: More Back Roads Driving Closing Dinner in Nyack, NY at the Palisades Mall This is not a rally or any kind of performance driving, it is a laid back group drive where no one is left behind and we all proceed together on our adventure. We welcome all kinds of Subarus and Non-Subarus on the drive. Plenty of folks have come with non-performance oriented cars, so don't be scared off thinking this is all WRXs and STis. Any questions feel free to post up or e-mail us directly to paisan@48hrs.info We will keep this thread updated as the details fall into place for this years trip! -mike & The 48hrs of Tristate Team

Our groups of enthusiasts have driven everything from the XT6, GL, DL, SVX, Legacy, Impreza and Brat to the WRX STi. Our participants have included EMT's, doctors, lawyers, members of the financial industry, mechanics, printers, whole families, and students. The only requirement is a love of Subaru and a commitment to raise money for the American Cancer Society. This year we are heading to the Mid-Atlantic Area which is different than what we've done in the past to include more folks who have never had a chance to ride with us!

It's that time of year again, when the Auto-x has quieted down, the Road Race Courses are closed, the Car Meets are finished for the year, and you are stuck at home with your Subie just itching to get out there and see other Subaru enthusiasts. Well luckily for you for the past 10 winters we have been holding The 48hrs of Tristate. This event has grown from a group of 5 cars raising about $1000 for World Trade Center Attack Victims in 2002 to our highest ever last year in 2010 where we had 60 cars registered and raised over $35,000 for The American Cancer Society. The trip takes place over 4 days this year because we are being hosted at both the Subaru of American Corporate Headquarters in Cherry Hill, NJ as well as a private tour of the Subaru of Indiana plant in Lafayette, IN. You will make new friends and bond with old ones as we go on an adventure across 5 states and over 1,500 miles together. There is no "fee" other than the required Driver donation to The American Cancer Society (a tax writeoff too). We usually secure over $10,000 in door prizes from Subaru-oriented Vendors which we raffle off to registered participants (be they drivers, passengers, or folks who donate to ACS through our site who can't make the trip). The route this year starts in Cherry Hill, NJ and ends in Harriman, NY. Jan 12- Pre-event Offroading in The Pine Barrens Jan 13- Opening Breakfast at SOA Headquarters Jan 14- Plant Tour and Raffle at SIA Plant Jan 14- Cookout at Turnin Concepts Jan 15- Highways and Byways travel to Buffalo, NY for some Hot Wings Jan 16- Backroads and Highways tour through Ithaca, NY to Harriman, NY All the Details can be found at http://48hrs.info The sooner you register, the sooner you can start helping raise money for The American Cancer Society. -mike

Since not everyone has the time or the money to attend the whole or even part of the 48hrs, we have come up with a way that you can still partake in the excitement and help raise money for The American Cancer Society. Subaru of America is matching Dollar for Dollar on the money we raise for ACS up to $7,000. So if we hit our goal of $8,000, SOA will put in an ADDITIONAL $7,000 bringing in a total of $15,000 for ACS. For every $10 you donate toward the 2009 48hrs of Tristate Team on the ACS Webpage you will get a ticket for the raffle in return. Vendor Sponsors this year have given us about $10,000(retail value) of merchandise to raffle off!
