Well stop by at the very least and say hi. Maybe Jan will tune for Cheesesteaks.

Folks, we are down to the last couple of slots. Get one now, while they are available. We have one slot midday Thursday, and probably can squeeze another in Friday and Saturday, depending on when Jan's flight is.

Come earlier and I bet you can work a trade/slide in before 5.

We are fully booked. We have a relatively early evening cut-off because we are in a residential area. If there is anybody who is flexible with time, and would like to be on standby, give us a call at 267 335 4337, and we'll try to slot you in. If you are signed up and don't know when your slot is, drop me a line as well, and we'll get you squared away.

We just had a Friday 9am cancellation. I have a phone message to the person I had on a waiting list, but if anybody is still interested, it's first come, first served. If you still want a tune, that slot is now open.

HeavyMetal, you have a PM

We still have an opening at 9am tomorrow. Any takers?

I also only booked 6 cars for Saturday, not knowing how long Jan was staying in Philly. It turns out that he's leaving Sunday AM so we could add a slot or two in the late afternoon Saturday.

Thanks Eric and the crew at Helix for a great first time Philly experience! Great tuning at the hands of Jan the Master Tuner! I pulled 222 and I am quite happy. Cheers and thanks again for hosting!

I really wish I could have afforded to make this one.

Helix, any ideas when you guys will be having another one?

Frenchy, your numbers make me excited as I have very similiar mod list and have an end power goal similar to yours. Guess i need some headers!

A good time was had by all. Thanks everyone for coming: We had folks from DC to NYC and the Poconos. Especially later on Saturday, thanks to cool, high-pressure weather, we started seeing some pretty amazing numbers. The silver lining for those of us who have winter looming, is that with cooler weather, our cars are MUCH faster.

Oh, and I was thoroughly sickened on donuts. That has got to stop. I now announce a moratorium on bringing donuts to Helix.

If there's enough interest, we'll do a spring day as well. Perhaps just before the Dragon.

If you get a crowd of people to make it worth it for Jan i am sure you can get him to go just about anywhere in the US.
Drop Helix a Email or Jan and see what they say.
