That's why I'm planning on taping my plate and VIN number so spies can't take pictures of my car (like Nissan has been caught doing recently). Better safe than sorry.

Correction:
The manual DOES specifically state that driving in competive events can have an impact on your warranty:

From page 14 of your Maintenance and Warranty Guide:

"Damage Caused Due to Use of Vehicle in Competitive Events
These warranties do not cover damage to any component that is the result of operating the vehicle in any competition or racing event. "


Also, on the application for the SCCA membership right above where you sign your name it states:

"Subaru of America (SOA) is not affiliated with the SCCA, and SOA does not in any way participate in, evaluate, condone or assume any responsibility for the activities and events of the SCCA or any of its affiliates. All Subaru vehicles sold by SOA are designed and built for normal driving conditions. The Subaru Limited Warranty, as well as the Subaru Added Security program,, excludes damage resulting from participation in competition or racing events. See the Subaru Warranty and Maintenace booklet for further details"
