Wasn't there supposed to be a Tuner Race?

I thought I saw a post here recently about a tuner race event in Maryland sometime soon and that the Speed Channel was going to be there to tape it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

There is a long thread somewhere about the tuners coming together to do something but it never happened. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=50705

Besides, imagine what might happen if it did happen

might have to make it down for this...my buddy's old cohorts from Norcal are running a car in the Koni Series and one of the guys might ship his 600hp '99 Impreza out here to him to hold until he gets in town (to drive it down to VIR for the weekend). We have to promise not to drive it on the street. Muhahahahah!

Speaking about Vendors/tuners, I'm thinking about visiting Funktion Auto Group sometimes in a couple of week, would you like to join?

I heard lots of good things about the place, wanna check it out.

Chris, let me know when you're thinking about heading out there....as long as it's past 2 pm, I would like to join you. The place is almost on the way home for me ...and I have heard good things about it from folks that used their services.

I would love to go to FA...but weekdays are impossible for me. I would join you on a weekend though. Let me find the name of the guy who worked on my car. He's a former mechanic at Mini of Sterling. Please let him know I said good things about my experience there.

i went by there, since i was over there watching the WERA races. I stopped by, but I think I missed the events. Seemed to be more of just track time for some regular cars. But the Hankook girls were lookin good, and there were some nice cars there too.
