lol, holy **** man. Feel better? I am cool with a meet still and I am still going to cordova on the 30th. It better not rain, I'll be pissed. I am going to go up to Rich's house and use his LM-1 so I can get a pretty decent tune off of that and then maybe do an hour on the dyno to get some fine tuning done later on sometime. For anyone interested in prices, etc here you go.

M-F 9-5:30
1 hour - 110 (includes tuning)
Half day - 395
Full day - 725

They use a Dyno-mite cahssis dyno.

I'm in for another meet. I'd say we shoot for middle July now. I'm going to be busy with my car for 2-3 weeks. I'm gonna take out all of my dents and dings, replace my clutch line, take out my sub box, move my battery to the trunk into a sealed box, build a custom box for my intakes, and install my RE v-mount .

I'll keep everyone updated on my progress. i'll try to even post up pictures...

Hotels are fairly cheap. I bet you could find one for 55-65 bucks a night and it would still be a decent place.

maybe try a steel braided clutch line. one of my friends had this problem with his 91 gsx when he upgraded his clutch.

I think you can prolly find somewhere thatl will take cash, you might just have to put an extra 50 or so in their hands to hold while you stay if you have no CC to charge. Also a debit card will work the same as a credit card.

I'd be down for another meet. July is starting to fill up pretty quick for me. In fact, the 16th, and probably the 23rd are the only two weekend days that are open. There are two autocrosses going on the 16th. One is in Waterloo at the old Greyhound park, the other is in Des Moines at Southridge Mall. It could be a good time to have everyone go to an event together. I know that I have personally taken a grill to an autocross and cooked up some brauts rights there in the parking lot. Anyway, just some ideas on dates since I haven't heard any yet.

I'd be down for the 16th at Southridge. I guess lets first make sure we can get a good turn out before we start really planning it...

I'll start the counter... 1

I wouldnt think so as you are on private property most likely. You dont need a drivers license in drag racing or in Nascar so I dont think autox would be any different.

Actually, you do need a drivers license to autocross. All of the drag racing events that I have gone to require you to have a license too.

http://scca.com/_filelibrary/File/2006_solo_rules.pdf

Page 31, Section 4.1.A

Once a car is registered, it's good to go. I'm sure you can figure something out from that......
