If I win the lottery, there will be signs–like a 22B in the garage. :)

From casual fans to diehard brand loyalists, a thick crowd of Subaru enthusiasts congregated at Daytona International Speedway to celebrate everything Subaru–or Subaru-powered–this past Saturday at Subiefest Florida.

In addition to autocross sessions, a car show and even an exhaust competition, Subiefest Florida gave those in attendance the chance to be among the first people in the country to see the all-new 2024 WRX TR in person.
Subaru then tossed the keys to hotshoes Travis Pastrana and Bucky Lasek. The two took turns tossing it around the designated autocross course, with Lasek testing out the effectiveness of Subaru’s Eyesight safety suite by attempting to drive the TR straight into a barrier. (Yes, the system worked.)
The headline events of the afternoon, however, was the chance to see Travis Pastrana’s Subaru GL-based “Family Huckster” as well as Bucky Lasek's rallycross-prepped Impreza WRX hatch, Betty, in action. Although both made quick work of the designated autocross course, few machines can vaporize tires as quickly as the Huckster can.
If Subiefest Florida returns next year, I'll definitely be there.
It was smaller than I expected, but I don't think that detracted from the experience. It never felt crowded or anything like that.
