I read in the latest Car and Driver(maybe Road and Track) that when you get a new WRX you get a free 1 year membership with the SCCA? I did not get such a thing. Did any of you?

 

[2003WRX]

Yeah, there was a card in my glovebox. I mailed it in last week... I figure what the hell, its free!

If you join, be prepaired to get put on 5000 different mailing lists. Get lots of junk mail.

 

[2003WRX]

I dont think my level of junk mail could get much worse anyway...

 

[TypeC]

Yup, it's kinda cool. Too bad I didn't get a chance to use my membership at any track events. I browse through "Sports Car mag" that they send every month though. If only they sent SCC as well I'd be set.

 

[rasthravas]

Got the membership.
Get the local chapter newletters.
And I get a few other things too from the sale of my address I guess.
I hope to use it at least once.
The local SCCA in NorCal owns its own track in essence, Thunderhill in Willows CA.

I hope to get up there before my membership expires.

If you join and participate, SOA could use that to deny warranty work, legaly. I think thats why they do it. Read the fine print in the warranty. It goes somthing like, will not cover: abuse, racing or any form of competition. I have the 7yr 100,000mi warranty.

They have to prove you participated first...

ahhh good point..if they don't have pictures or times then you're off

 

[TurbeauxREX]

They have to prove you participated first...

Not too difficult, as the regions post race results on-line and in the monthly newsletter.

Race, have fun, fogetaboudit.

Peace,

EXATCLY my point, TurbeauxREX. There is and undeniable paper trail. Those subaru fellows are pretty clever.

Thats why I didn't join. Funny thing is every time I have been to the dealer with the car someone asks "Did you sign up for the SCCA?"

 

[SinisterWRX]

ahh who cares i bought this car to drive it hard...

I have to agree.

It makes no difference with the free membership. If you race in the SCCA and do well, your name gets posted in the results no matter what. It's not something that is unique to Subaru.

I've never understood where all these conspiracy theories come from - all cars have a clause in the warranty against competition use.

I don't think I've gotten any more junk mail due to the SCCA. Heck, I guess I'd welcome it - I already get a mountain of junk mail - I'd like to get something cool. You'd think people with car magazines or catalogs would by the SCCA list to try to target a good audience for their products.

Your right this is true among all cars. BUT a wrx with its turbo and awd can be 'broken' easier than most other cars. Not to mention no other car comes with a membership that would void the powtrain warranty.

Hey who knows, you guys could work for subaru for all I know
