The shop typically gets started by 10.

They will fit who they can where possible.
I noticed that he had you slotted for 4pm (though the latest post#1 show no time slots).
I had no time slotted next to my name in the original schedule.
Ralph says they will fit me where possible, but everyone scheduled will be done.

I am with goldenchild: I will need lots of coffee....
PS - I plan to bring the donuts....

Hope this helps....
Yes, we will start at 10am. Thanks for the post

Is this going to some sort of mini black friday "week" where you guys are there before us waiting to have us open?

Folks this should be a fun event. We'll see you guys soon

HEY! I hardly ever get mugged, only 4 times in my whole life here. Philly is very safe, we didn't even have our first murder of the year until 2:30am 1/01/08, that's more than 2 hours without a murder!

Idk lay off the cheese steak. The extra weight will offset the powergains from the day.

Folks, looks like we won't be able to have our high flow 380cc injectors available for this event. We will however have plenty of jcw injectors.

Perhaps the prophecy of snow drippings on the dyno will come true.... I think your install and tune will make your stay tonight worth it, PGT.
