This past weekend here in the oil city of the Lone Star state, our friends over at Gillman Subaru brought in a special guest to help launch the new 2011 WRX, Dave Mirra. Now, if you were familiar with the first “Big Event” that went down a couple of years ago, the guest at that time was another X-Games legend and Subaru rally driver Travis Pastrana. The event was spear headed by non-other that Waleed Elostaz (Wally), a pretty well know local supporter of ricer activities and huge sponsor of TXIC forums over at NASIOC. If you would have stopped by the joint this past Saturday it was quite obvious that he lead the event to success. From 6:00am until 4:00pm was a non-stop frenzy of Dave Mirra, rice, and a couple thousand people. It was pretty nuts.
