September 2, 201510 yr Just wondering if anyone is going to Subiefest this year? 19 September is the date. Ill be there. I'm going to put my BRAT into the car show and work a booth in the afternoon. This will be the first major Suby event I have ever gone too.
September 25, 201510 yr From what I heard, it was a disaster this year. No organization, DJ left before awards were given out and they didnt do that until almost everyone had left at the end of the day. Auto X was a joke, there were even people on the track while it was hot.
September 25, 201510 yr Author It was, it was horrible. Even though I won the best "Old School" award, I probably wont go back. Get there at 7:00am to not even be judged until 4:00 PM and awards at 6:00PM after everyone left, literally. There were like 18 people there. Plus myself and my family all had to pay for "parking" each even though I also paid a $35 entry fee. $100, 5 hours of driving (in a BRAT with no AC), 11 hours of sitting in a parking lot (without a shelter for shade) dehydration and a nasty sunburn later I got a plaque in front of 18 people. I wont be back.

I wont be back. I warned you about the sunscreen. :-) I went with my BRAT two years ago. It was way too hot for me and the whole setup was, IMHO, weird. I figured I was just too old. LOL.
September 25, 201510 yr What a Shame ... ... I was expecting to read awesome stories and see great photos... Kind Regards.
September 25, 201510 yr Author Yeah, I think I am getting too old as well. The BRAT was definitely out of place. Don't get me wrong, it was fun talking to people and meeting other Subaru guys, but the whole event was poorly done I think.
September 25, 201510 yr Read all the comments on the FB page. https://www.facebook.com/events/413820415488690/445625438974854/
September 26, 201510 yr Here's a review thread for Subiefest 2015 at Nasioc: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2748922 I like the part were the honest reviews of Subiefest started disappearing from the fb page . Reading this thread really makes me appreciate the staff and organizers at WCSS, even when the power went out in the entire city, they managed to keep things rolling. Keep up the good work guys!
September 28, 201510 yr Author Yeah Ive been following those pages. I got a PM from some guy, but I don't think anything will come of it.
