Okay boys-n-girls it's time to setup a schedule for pulley installations. It looks as if I have nine requests for pulleys, which makes for a long day on Saturday. If anybody wants to do theirs on Friday between 10am and 4pm, that would lighten the load on Sat. I will setup a first come, first served schedule that you can request times. I have had one request for an afternoon slot so I will fill it in. Post your requests or email them to me and I will fill it out accordingly. Also, for those signed up, please call or email me for my cell number so that we can communicate (sort of: cell reception is terrible down there) once we are there.


Saturday

10:00am:

11:30am:

1:00pm:

2:30pm: BartMack 17% pulley

4:00pm:

Friday

10:00am:

11:30am:

1:00pm:

2:30pm:

We can also go earlier on Sat. if we must. I will be doing the work in the parking lot at Fontana. Please don't hesitate to call helix if you have questions or want to book your time.

There are several lots at the Fontana... You'll be in the lot by the General Store and the old Cafeteria correct?

hey Eric... I kept my Friday clear, so actually I'd be glad to do the 10:am or 11:30 slot on Friday, I only need to be at the dam panorama photo by 3pm.

(That would ease any rush from the Cherahola run that could make me late for the 2:30 sat slot)

Also I wanted to change to a 15% pulley (rather than the 17)

I'll email you my cell #..... Bart

Since late February, on this thread and in several e-mails to Eric, I've been requesting a late Saturday afternoon slot, so the family can participate in other events. If it isn't in the cards to honor that request, I'm sorry but I have to drop out. Looks like you have enough other, more recent requests, and won't miss my business. I can live for another time.

You can take my 2:30 sat slot and I'll take a slot on Friday...:smile:

Thanks a million, BartMack!

I could take your 2:30 on Saturday, and hope to be back from the Cherohala drive by then. Should be, and being a little late may not matter, considering my mod may not take as long so as to run into the 4:00 slot.
Or, I could take 1:00 Friday, presuming it's done in time for the panoramic photo shoot (I've already paid for the framed picture). Again, my mod shouldn't take as long. No pulley (that's already been done), but rear sway bar and short throw shifter kit.
Plus, Eric now advises me that he can only do my mods if his helper comes along, with a truckload of equipment.
I don't want to inconvenience others. After all, the purpose of this meet is fun and touring, not primarily to get mods done!

It was bestowed upon me by the members of a Rock band that I worked with for years as the sound tech. I'm just a softy, honest. Just don't ask me for a tow rope.

A quick Q for you... I was wanting to know how much extra it would be to have you change the belt when doing my 15% install. I have about 35,000 miles on the beast and would like to have it changed.

I believe the belt is $20.00. I am having mine done with my 15% as well. Better safe than sorry.

The belt is $20, installation will cost you a six-pack of craft brewed beer, preferrably from a brewery local to you. The key to good beer is freshness, so local is always good. Philadelphia's best local beer is Yards Brewery (luckily next door to helix). Perhaps I'll bring some Yards to swap with others who bring thier local stuff.


Here's the latest schedule for pulleys.


Saturday

10:00am: Sumwon 15%

11:30am: Gak03 19%

1:00pm:

2:30pm: Daiuy: Bar, shifter if we can bring the truck

4:00pm: Spillman 15%

Friday

10:00am: BartMack 15% (thanks for the change, Bart)

11:30am:

1:00pm:

2:30pm: G3 15%

My apologies but I won't be able to legally bring you a 6-pack being that I'm only 18. However I'm sure we can work something out.

I want to take this opportunity to thank Eric for producing huge smiles for the lucky recipients of his mods at the Dragon this year. I personally have to say being able to run the Dragon pre and post was priceless! 50% more boost with just about an hours worth of work by the master, who can ask for more?

Thanks a lot Eric and hope to see you all again next year.
