I want to do this so bad... but I'm going to have to resist...

after all, I still need a cam, header and bigger injectors first. Good luck with the session!

I'm tempted. I've got family and friends that live up there. Let me see if I've got a place to stay, then I'll be in.

I've only got 6000 miles on my car and don't feel comfortable doing this yet, but I would like to stop by and see the process for future potential. Would that be OK?

If we get enough cars feel free to come down. Bring money or a credit card. You jusy may want to put your car on the Dyno to get numbers on your car in stock form.

Thanks

Won't make this one at 400 miles from where I live. Jan, we need you closer to Mystic, CT. There is a DYNO available at Norwich, CT I have used before.

http://www.swiftmotorsports.com/


Maybe we can schedule one there?

Some people say that I will never get the money out of my MINI that I have put into it. I say, "I get my money's worth everytime I hit the ignition button".

I'll be at Watkins Glen Monday and Tuesday with limited access to the internet. As of right now we only have two people who want to attend. I'll get intouch with Jan and see when he has to make his reservation to fly here. It looks like we'll have to make this a spring event. Jan's been here twice this year already.

I just noticed this thread, then realised my passport needs renewing. Not likely to happen between now and the 24th, otherwise I'd be down for this.

Needless to say, please put me in the first available spot for the spring session, newbs49!
