Ken,

I can do july 18th. The only problem is that I will need 5 deposits by the end of this week (1 month lead time) before I would book my flight. If this can be done, I will commit to the date.

let me know

steve

I doubt you 5 guys can get your deposits in time.

If you can I'll set it up with MA Performance.

Thanx,

Ken

Well, then we do not have the five minimum needed so we'll try for August 1st.

Let's see at least five committed for this date and I'll contact MA Performance.

Thanx,

Ken

Do we have five committed people that can have their down payments to Steve Kan by July 1 so we can confirm Aug 1st for him and MA Performance??

So far this was a starter list:
1. saiyan
2. touturborx7
3. rx7-na
4. 3rdgensleeper
5. fdfreak

Others can sign up. Five does not make it very profitable.

Thanx,

Ken

Well if you can't wait two weeks then we probably don't have enough interest to bring Steve in this year.

St. Louis gets him about twice a year. I guess our area of the country does not have enough souped up RX-7s.

I personally would not want to own a stock FD. Too complicated and screwed up. Just a simple single turbo for me.

Thanx for all your interest,

Ken

All I know is MA Performance as of two weeks ago had Aug 1, 8, 22 weekends available for dyno sessions.

It's up to you to find five committed cars that can pick a date and get Steve a $200 down payment 30 days before the event.

If you want to drag this into September or October it's up to you.

I'll coordinate the best I can.

Thanx,

Ken

Ok, I have 2 people from fargo here, myself and snoble. Now touturborx7 said he needs his sooner, how about the rest of those guys? Are they good to go? if they are then Ill have snoble take touturborx7's spot and that will give us 5. we need verbal confirmation from the other 3 and we can lock this in.

Kan needs down payments at least 30 days in advance to be able to book decent ates on flights.

Are you all still want August 1st or is the 8th or 22nd better.

Thanx,

Ken

I am interested in this, however my car is getting a new motor at the moment and will need a break in, plus reinstall of turbo kit. I think it should be done by August 1st. What is the cost of this?

this is going to take place in MN if you didnt know that. It looks like you aren't from MN. Or did you move to MN? Just letting you know if you didnt catch that this was taking place in MN.

Ken the list looks good. Once the the MAP and Steve give it the "good to go" post your paypal or steve's paypal so we can get this ball rolling.

05rex8, Its most likely goin to be in the ball park of $400-$600 depending on what you want. but remember that you also have to pay for the dyno as well. looks like they really upped their price for the dyno rental, $110/hr.

I talked to MA Performance five minutes ago and they race many cars on some weekends including there 1000+ hp Mitsu FD.

As of right now they still have Aug 1, 8 22 available but that could change.

Please give me a date that you want and that we can commit to so we can reserve that weekend.

Thanx,

Ken

im in for either the 1st or the 8th. my wife has her high school reunion on the 1st, so this would give me an excuse not to go to the reunion.
