We've got registration back open!!! It's filling up fast so be sure to get your register in!!! If you have anymore issues with registration please email me directly at [email protected]

In other news, over the past few days Sony Corp has signed on board as a sponsor and will be donating a Sony Action Cam bundle for the raffle! It will be the Action Cam (AS30), 16GB microSD Card, and Suction Cup Mount!!! This is on top of the go-pro Black camera that was donated graciously by Pure Motorsports in San Diego, and many more other great prizes from various shops and companies!!!

Be sure to get your registration in by February 17th as only the first 100 registrations or those by that deadline will get the swag bag and shirt with their registration!!!

[rlarsen462]

So if I went through the process and was put on the waitlist, shouldn't I already get a registration notice if you opened it back up again? Or what are you saying I need to do?

[waffle]

I sent you a PM to help get this solved for you.

Many of you might have seen the 2015 Audi A3 at the recent auto shows. I just got word today that Walter's Audi along with Audi of America are rushing out some 2015 Audi A3s for the event...not for show...but to take out for a spin, and really check them out, and better yet they might even allow them to go on the rally with us!!!

Also on top of that, did you know that the Riverside Auto Center was the first "auto center" in the United States? Well, I had no clue, but it is!!! The Riverside Art Museum will have a huge display in the Audi showroom showcasing the history of the auto center with lots of great historical pictures and much more!!!!

Registration has really picked up this past week in a half so be sure to get in as there is just over two weeks left for preregistration and the event just might fill up before then!!! Sign up now directly at:

That is awesome. I live around the corner from Walters and I didn't know Riverside was the first "Auto center". I do know that EMPI was right there back in the day for those of you that are into the vintage VW scene.

GMG Racing is bringing out their dually and four car display, Eurocode is bringing out their display with 4+ cars, Pacific German is bringing out their R8 + more cars with their display and Motul is bringing out their huge van and will be giving out goodies all day too!!! Where else are you going to get all these great Audi partners out for a great day to meet them and to go out and have fun throughout the day!

Only another 11 days for pre-registration to make sure you get the shirt size you want a long with a guaranteed goody bag! After that it's while supplies last!!!

wow sounds like fun! what if you just want to show up and take pictures of the cars and not do the rally?

I don't think that would be any issue. Prefer if you come to be apart of it though! :)

[waffle]

GMG Racing will be out in full force, with 4 cars, their dually, a 20X10 display and will be further adding to our prize pile!!! Top that on with the setup's that Eurocode and Pacific German are bringing out it's going to be one heck of a display!!! Only 6 more days for pre-registration!!!

http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.cfm/event/event.advert/uidEvent/A37A4158-EFF6-516B-04C1042BC33EC28D#.UpzefOLEv3Bhttp://

[waffle]

Pre-Registration is over, but we're still working full swing for the event. We've got over 60 cars that will be running the rally, plus show cars from Pacific German, GMG, and Eurocode! While pre-registration is closed, normal registration at the same great price is open through March 5th! We'll do our best to accommodate your shirt size, however there are no guarantees and shirts and swag bags are now while supplies last!!! For more information please visit www.audiclubsocal.org

[Sp8t]

Just to let all know that we have 59 drivers signed up with at least 126 people to be in attendance. This will be one amazing day for all! I will not be on the drive but it will be worth it to see all these amazing cars leaving to go on the trip and coming back in. I will at the least be doing a test run with Kris (Slvrb7) to make sure all is good to go for the drivers. Looking forward to this. :) Look forward to seeing you all there!!!

Might be a good thing to inspect your rides a week or so before to make sure everything is in good running order so there are no surprises while on the drive.

[dii]

Schedule cleared up that day, I'll be there!

[B G 8er]

Cool! I hope I finally get to see your infamous RS4 wide body up close and personal there.

[AudisportA4]

Is this the TAG RS4 conv. We're talking about? She's a beaut, I did the Targa Trophy Holiday Cruise with you.

[drkstrA4]

I'll be there...hopefully with a little suspension work done.

[waffle]

No he has both. The RS4 Wide body is the conversion he did with Tag to his 2013 S4. I believe they did debut it at the Targa Trophy Holiday event but he also has a 2014 A4 Cabriolet which I believe he is using as his "daily driver".

Plus I just received some nice Golden Shine Detail kits from California Car covers and you should be receiving a package this week from P3 Cars and Mod Bargains which will include a certificate good for a set of Forgestar Wheels worth up to $2k for $900 plus shipping.

A big shoutout to Mike @ Pure Motorsports and Shawn @ Pacific German for really stepping up their support of the event as we hit crunch time this week!! While we have lots of great partners, these two have really stepped it up in making sure this event is a success!! Kudos to both!!

Gotta say there were A SHIT TON of scenic spots and fun roads!!! I am honestly going to keep the route for future runs because its that good. We might have to get the ACOC brothers/sisters up there too for a partial run or something. Again, IT'S THAT GOOD! lol.

We should remind everyone that you can still show up at 7:30am on Saturday and still register to partake in the rally. Or everyone is welcome to just come out around 12noon and check out all the cars and displays.

Weather is predicted to be in the 80s and this will be an exceptional event!

[roger v]

Looks like I probably won't be able to make it. Bummer to be out $60!

Edit: Looks like I will be making it!!

[drkstrA4]

Looking forward to this tomorrow. tried to get my suspension done before this event, but couldn't make it happen.

Cars out of commission, I'm out for tomorrow... have fun guys!

Anyone have an extra fuel line?

Anybody need a navigator/company/photographer in their car or want to be mine? Mine just bailed on me. I'm still going to show up, but I'm less keen on driving 100 miles alone to go take pictures of stuff and talk to myself; I could do that whenever. [;)]

If it weren't for the ridiculous 730 start time, I'd take you up on your offer. It would take an hour+ just to get our asses from the westside to raggedy Riverside.

Sadly I missed the drive anyway. Heading over to Walters for the booths and stuff.

Great time on Saturday and hope all that attended enjoyed!!! Thanks for coming out and hope to do this again next year.

It was great to see many familiar faces and meet some new peps as well. We had a great time as volunteers. Many thanks to everyone who came out and supported the event, Walters, all the vendors, the entire team that worked on making the inagural Empire 100 Rally a huge success but especially to Micheal (Waffle). The man worked his as* off to make this a first class event.
