I should literally just drive a couple of miles over to see the start of the roadshow. Glad to have you in Irvine, Jan.

Can't wait to see what you have in store.

I wonder what kind of tune this is going to be. Like could we purchase the tune or does Jan need to do the tuning himself.

sounds like I'm headed to PR

I will have a JCW and S done by this weekend if all goes right

We are decoding a few more maps for the MAF cars that will be done soon but the initial tweaks are working well

Hey! I'm in, reserve me a place! I was just up there yesterday for SCDA Open track day...had a wonderful time! Even passed a vette in the bends!

I'm assuming you'll be tuning the R56 then correct?

So siked, can't wait to finally get some power!

I didn't do a time trial because it was my first track day ever I was more or less learning the mechanics with a Skip Barber Instructor, slow in and fast out type of things, making smooth entry and fast exit points...but as for speed, I hit about 117 on the main straight and my fastest turn was through Uphill at about 80. It was insane fun, I plan on going to Watkins Glen on Tuesday if school permits me.

Once you go to the Glen...... you might put school on hold

I think I want to have my ashes scattered there when I die

I'm down for a local tune for sure, I've got the cam and 380's waiting for a tune. I know that an earlier RMW tune event in PR was in the works and the limiting factor at that time was the R56 tuning. Just be prepared to tune on a DynoJet, I got confirmation from the Dynapack people that there are none in PR.
