Red Pill starts under it's own gumption and idles even... Finally, though a little high.

Originally the plan was for Mark to drive it back, but I didn't feel terribly comfortable since I wrote the map from damned near scratch and have no way to see AFRs.

Mine is awaiting the turbo to return from Evergreen, then it's hack off the DP for VBand weld-on and a couple of stupid things.

ATM we're down @ Mark's but will be heading back, in a little, so I MAY be at the shop around 2000.

All: Gimme a call if intending/ wanting/ needing to come by the shop, tonight (Will IM the new # to those needing it [i.e. The dynamic duo]).

I mean, I 'm sure you don't, but I'm just sayin'.

I'm really confused at the moment how they are going to be able to have parking for this anywhere near downtown at the same time as the Downtown Arts Festival which brings in tens of thousands of people.

Also...Joe...do you want to go get the exhaust on Friday night? What is your schedule like?

They said University Ave to Hippodrome...that road is blocked off for the car show. Parking directed to parking garage and downtown open lots.

All I know is we need to get there early to claim our space!

Car show at 12, we need to be there at 11...trying to confirm with organizers now.

Text them. I received a quick response.

@Joe - Car is not lowered but I'll be happy to swing by there tonight. Actually...I never lowered it but it sits lower than most other verts I've seen so who knows.

Swamp Fest Car Show, April 10th 12-6pm Downtown Gainesville FL

Here's the deal:

Barricades get there at 10 am to secure the lot, move cars, etc.

We need to be downtown at 11 am to roll in and secure our parking spots...first come first serve on spot location and it will fill up quick since it is limited.

As stated by Gringo, arts festival going on so we need to come down
West University Ave,
Right on Main Street,
Left on 1st Stree to enter out area


BREAKFAST will be there for sponsors (damn right)

We park, set up, bs, etc.

I vote for parking between Harry's and Fat Tuesdays...right in the middle of it all.

We can get there as early as we want but that was their time frame. So we can get there at 10 and "help" them barricade our area lol
