My participation in this event is solely determined by the date. I need 30 days advance notice to have the day off from work and I also cannot have Memorial Day Weekend off. So, PLEASE schedule this A)soon and B)on a day that is not May 24-26.

Otherwise, count me in.

Again-, before WE set a date, we should make sure Jan has openings in June. If May is the only option, I will set something up in the Ptld area.

I used one step cooler iridiums and they only lasted me about 3000 miles. I switched back to stock NGK platinum replacements and have no problems.

Jan said he recommended Chevron and the local Chevron just went out of Biz in my town, is shell ok? Just curious-

Can you tell us what happened to your Iridiums? Worn out? Tip fell off? I've had mine for 11,000 miles (3 1/3 years) now with no problem. It will be interesting to know its weakness.

I did a trip over the mountains and burned one completely out. The tips were nubs. I am running lean in some places and rich in others. I really need this tune to tie together my frankenstien engine and fix my air to fuel problems. I am very curious to see what a tune can do for my head work and injectors...

I talked to Jan, June is good for him! He will tell me what day in June he prefers on wednesday. I also called Axiom Motorsports and June is all open for them as well. Sounds like it's a go! Axiom charges 90 per hour or 810 per day. They are open from 10am to 7pm on saturdays and they are happy to have us-
