So I made it up to Climb to the Clouds. This thing was pulling out of a gas station as we were driving by. I pulled over to let him go so we could watch and listen. It was so loud I couldn't hear my car or the radio over the glorious rumble. It was incredibly quick for its size, at least accelerating. The guy took turns pretty slow.
I've seen this around but didn't recognize it at first, being on all 4 wheels and all.
This thing was a beast and that's really all you need to say about it.
Thats not my WRX, it was just 1 of about 50 of them on top of the mountain not including the cars participating in the race. They let about 150 cars up. I'm pretty sure more that half were Subarus and of those, about half were WRX's. The JF I believe is a Special Edition with the color match roof.
And there I am (well my car I'm actually behind the camera), the WRX facing the camera on the lower level near the right. I'll post some rally pics later. I also have some videos but I'm not sure how to go about posting those.

Was there on Wednesday...wish I could've stayed for the rally.
The top was closed when we arrived in the afternoon...so they only let us drive half-way up. Still got the sticker though...

It was pretty cool. I had no idea what I was doing and did minimal planning. It was a little disappointing that you only got to see each car for about 5 seconds. Still a good time and we got to do a little hiking which was way more intense than I even imagined.

How was Devil's Playground? The people around me wanted to go there but they were too late. They said you could watch from your car, but maybe not anymore,

Came across this guy and his shop when I was doing some pre-event recce of Mt Washington a few weeks back. Chatted for about a half hour, got his card, hoping to turn it into an article. We'll see what happens...

its amazing you saw him too, but I guess its hard to miss. That has to be one of the craziest trucks i've ever seen. I followed him for a few miles before he turned off.
