Default Thanksgiving Weekend Racecomp/ GTWORX open house and meet (Nov 24th).

So I had stated much earlier this year that I wanted to have a "meet" here at the shop. We hadn't done it in the past because our old location was office space with a great parking lot in the back, but wouldnt have been a good format at all. This year ,early summer was getting too hot so we didnt want people standing around being sweaty and my Speed/ALMS schedule was crazy also, so here we are in November !!

So Saturday November 24th( yes 2 days after Thanksgiving) from 11-3, we will have the first Racecomp Engineering/ GTWORX meet and small open house. I say small because it is small. Nothing special. No dyno's, no 900whp time attack cars, no 7 post shake rigs, or F1 engine build rooms. Just a simple office and shop. Oh and this is a family event, so no, there wont be any half naked women in bikini's and Daisy Dukes with their butts hanging out either. So yes bring the kids !!

What we will have is some food, alot of Subaru's, PS3 with GT4 Prologue on a large HD screen and a simulator seat set up. We will raffle off RCE springs( yellows, Blacks ,Wagons, and Evo springs. We hope to have some RCE t-shirts also. Limited quantities, so get there at 11.

Why Thanksgiving weekend?..well its either now or next year. I figured,... drop the wife off at Columbia Mall and come over and have a hotdog !! Or bring the wife and kids and hang out a bit. Being in Elkridge, Maryland we are between Baltimore and Washington. Arundle Mills is 5mins away and Columbia Mall is 10.

I know, I know..alot of people will be out of town, but alot will be in town, so its a wash !! If you are in town, stop by.

THings worth mentioning:

Jackie from Annapolis Subaru will be here and set up.

Chad Block from CBRD will come ( because I went to his open house). He will hopefully drive something crazy from his fleet of exotics.

Crazy Ken will provide music and large screen for GT4 Prologue.

Project Grocery Getter will be on display(lol) and rides available.(first and last event before it goes bye):sadbanana:

As well as the usual cast of RCE employees, Mike, Drew, Dan( Boost Junkie) and maybe Jeff.

We will have food and drink, but IFyou want to bring something, no worries, but not mandatory.

Evo, Porsche, Mercedes clubs members also might filter in.



We hope to have some customer cars here for rides.

Prodrive RB320 STI, Ohlins Fixed Perch STI, RCE Tarmac 2 STi and the list goes on. I am looking for people with certain packages who will attend and capable to taking rides for demo ( casual) purposes.

Because we havent had a meet before I have no promo photo's to use ..lol. Below are some pics of the shop( for those who havent seen them). Directions coming soon.

At any rate, we hope you can attend and we hope to have fun.

cheers-













Thanks for your business and support !!

Kool..that would be fine.....esp since we will have RB clad car here and Ohlins..you would get a first hand feel for the differences.

I'll try to be there. If you have a PSM JDM front lip, I'll get that too.

I'd really like that- I'd love to sample some of the various suspension products I haven't already felt. I might have the Turn-in Concepts coilovers for you to try by then, too, if you're interested in feeling them. Any chance you can bring a print-out of the RCE T2 dyno sheets for me to glance at? I won't write anything down!

I'm still not sure if I'll be around that weekend, but I really want to make it.

I'm very interested to check those out. About the dyno plots...you certainly are persistent PM sent.

Sweet! I think I was still at Virginia Tech last time you were down.

You could give stretch a ride in the BC's! Me too for that matter, I'd like to see what they're like first hand.
