Dustin, please post up if you need any help w/ setting this up. I know we had also kicked around serving up hotdogs and drinks at lunch time. If you need help w/ anything, please ask.

I'd like to have one pull, just to see what my car can do (don't really have anything to tune with) if there's still room. I don't want to take a spot away from anyone who needs it to actually do some tune adjustment though. My car is also AWD.

Actually, we could really use a few more folks, so please plan to come! AWD planned for end of day - mid-late afternoon likely.

If there is extra space, I'll take a pull or two.

Yes, need a few more too, call your friends! You're in for 2 :-)

Pls sign me up for 1 pull, RWD.

I am out. The thought of a bottom end knock turning into a spun bearing has me feeling chicken.

Thanks! I DO plan to bring the grill, and have started a LUNCH THREAD HERE. Please respond in that thread if you'll be hanging out with us for lunch (please do, it will also make scheduling MUCH easier if folks are flexible).

Also, let's make a party of this. Who's got cornhole? Any other "tailgating" type games?

Ok, so in an effort to accommodate those that aren't able to hang out on Saturday, I'm putting together a "reservation list" so those folks have an idea of when they should roughly be ready to go. I'd still like to keep this fluid, though, so I'm only planning to reserve the first hour (already full by PM request), and a couple spots per hour thereafter.

So, if you are not able to hang out for more than a few hours, or can only hang out part of the day (say, 9-lunch or lunch->3, etc...), please post here, PM me, or be sure to catch me on Saturday to let me know. Please note, however, that I will only be reserving 2-3 spots per hour block, so that those folks needing to make changes and do reruns can have that opportunity, and we can accommodate a couple "walk ups".

Again, please only reserve if you are not generally flexible with your times. If you show up and aren't in a massive rush, we should be able to work you in in a reasonable time without issue and without a reservation.

Also note that AWD drive cars will be at the end of our dyno session, say around ~2:30. I've put the only 2 AWD cars I know about in as reserved for this timeframe, but if there are more AWD coming, please let me know.

~9-10AM: Keith Q, Steven W, Vincent K
~10-11AM:
~11-12PM:
~12-1PM:
~1-2PM: Steve C.
~2-3PM: Dustin F <AWD SWITCHOVER> Mike W, Ryan H

I'll be firing the grill up around noon.

Thanks Everybody!

Thanks for putting this together Dustin, really looking forward to putting the smack down on VK, err, I mean seeing what difference the tune does on the bullitt :mrgreen:

I'm fine with running whenever. I'll show up sometime in the 9am hour.

Not an issue at all, so long as you're there before ~2pm. See you tomorrow!

Ok time for a betting pool on Simon.

Stock 1.8l B18A1 motor, a bunch of miles, uses oil. HG replaced in the paddock at VIR last August. Probably has 50+ race/track hours on it at this point. From the factory it's rated at 140hp crank.

Winner receives a piece of saltwater taffy. Who's gonna cast the first guess?

JamesMilko · **Posted:** Fri Mar 09, 2012 2:52 pm

104whp.

I'll also take bets on which run my motor blows up on.
