Who is bring the computer reset tool for after the ride too, as this will definitely set off the warning light

I will try my best to be there guys. My plane is leaving Kuwait some time on the 20th up to the 22nd, and when I get home I still need to get my tags, and reinstate my insurance. Lots to do but I can make it.

I can do a little dirt especially since the Conclave will be over.
I went up Evans last weekend and never got a light and got some of my best gas mileage ever at 31.8 mpg (and I was going a little fast).
I go up Mt. Evans and my boost gauge only goes up to 6 psi if I'm lucky, It does save gas not having any air though.
Hows the snow situation looking on top of Pikes peak?

Hopefuly 15, they have been delaying peoples flights out of this sand pit, and I might not be able to get back in time. I also heard that as long as I am carying a copy of my deployment orders I can drive on my expired plates while I'm on leave, so that will save a little time.
Any updates on weather conditions on the top of the mountian?

There was some talk at the meeting at the Shelby Museum about people coming from the north meeting up near Castle Rock (same place we met before the Castle to Castle) before heading down to the Springs for the Pikes Peak run. Anybody game for that?

Be careful driving with expired tags. Some cops in the Springs give a break while others do not. We had numerous guys get tickets even with orders.
Well unfortunately I'm not going to be able to make it at all, They decided to move the day I fly out of here to the 26th.
If anybody else wants to come up with a ride the next weekend, or go to test and tune at Bandemere next Wednsday, let me know. I will also be posting some teaser pics of the parts I have collected when I get back.
