Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally (STPR). I headed up there with the rallycross car in tow to crew for Jesse Yuvali's S52-swapped stage rally car competing in Group 2. The car was bulletproof all weekend in a rally where I'd guess that 30 of the 80 or so entrants didn't finish at all (many due to wrecks, many due to mechanical issues). Finished 2nd in G2 behind a well-driven 280Z. Overally finished the first day 16th and second day 12th, which is damn good for an e30 in a field that was populated with major rally teams. Then on Sunday I ran in the post-rally rallycross, using the Super Special Stage from the rally. Managed to put up a solid win in MR class (over mostly e30s and a few other cars) as well as putting up the 2nd fastest total time of the event behind only one well-prepared Subie :)
If you've never been to a stage rally, you're missing out. Way more exciting than any other motorsport to watch, IMO. Plus a great variety of interesting cars there. Everything from old Cavaliers to six-digit full-built pro-level cars and everything in between.....

The other e30 running, finished right behind us. Also S50 or S52-swapped.
The first casualty....massive wreck upon landing
