Post Fall Colours 2004

Hey guys.

A while ago the idea of going down to Fall Colours came up. Nothing has really been discussed since then, so I thought I'd start a thread to see if anyone's interested.

"In 2004, Fall Colors will be headquartered in the Beaver Falls area of Western Pennsylvania, near the new, state-of-the-arts BeaveRun Motorsports Complex on October 22, 23, and 24. We expect over 150 cars and well over 200 S2000 enthusiasts."

Pennsylvania is only about 5 hours from TO so it's definately drivable and sounds like a blast! It includes scenic drives, S2000 specific demonstrations, descussions, installation how-to's, venders, track time + autox course, and much more...

By the looks of things, there is a deadline of August 1st (this Sunday) to be registered if you want a chance at winning one of the two prizes (HT and 4.57 gears). Other than that, I believe the deadline in the first week or so of October, so we have plenty of time.

All the information, including registration and cost can be found here:

I think it'd be great if we could get a group of us together to go down and represent Canadian owners.

What do you think?

Cheers.

I have already registered to go. I went last year and it was great! With the track day included this year it will definitely be worth the trip. I definitely recommend it!

Julianne and I are planning on going. No track or autocross events for us. We'll probably at the outlet mall on Sunday before heading home.
