I just realize that there's a conflict schedule with the Toronto group. Need to reschedule this to a different date......

that's why I stop scheduling the tuning because I was having a hard time remember who is who anymore. I'll see what I can do with the toronto group but I'm pretty sure that they're firm on this and was setup months ago. for some reason, I keep thinking you guys were the 1st week of June.


nevermind, i just saw that the toronto event is on June 4-5 instead of the same weekend as you guys.

Eric,
Please contact Scott at RotaryX to add you guys on the list. I don't want to forget this again.

So, we're still on for June 30th-July 3rd.

I contacted Scott from Rotaryx about putting us on the list but I think he's ignoring me

Bump to say that we're up for making this a big event so watchers and hangers on are certainly welcome. We took over another 20,000 square feet and are slowly filling it up but there should be plenty of room to hang out left by then. Dyno is in it's new location and we will have monster exhaust fans set up for this one so no matter what Eric does to his car in the meantime we'll all have oxygen to breathe this time.

View for the fireworks is excellent and I'm thinking we need to come up with one of those big-*** charcoal grills and a equally big-*** pile of meat to cook. If anyone wants to coordinate the food I've got to come up with a reasonable budget but I'll be busy humping cars on and off the dyno so a volunteer to do some legwork and cooking would be welcome.

I can't say that I'll have time to do much more than a post or two in the meantime and throw out a few sponser $$$ and a nice space - but if someone wants to run with it and keep me in the loop so I have a vague idea of how big a crowd we'll have...

What say to making this a big one?!?! (Without sacrificing the focus on tuning).

Steven

You'll need to get in contact with Steve Kan. He's got your deposit and I believe deposits are non-redundable (I think).
