It's like a cold. You have to give it to someone else before you get better.

The universe equilibrium requires that a certain amount of 928's be broken. When Andrew fixes his, someone else's has to break.

Wow, that is an impressive list. With this kind of advance notice, I should be able to attend more then the one event I made in 2007 (and one in 2006).

That's precisely why I said it. Olson's making blazing speed. At this point I had just finished pulling out the engine after spending 4 months standing in the garage, staring at the car thinking "I've got to do this again?!?!?!" E-sarcasm/humor.

Andrew maybe we should add the Dream Cruse, the Thursday night before the big event and see if we can get "invited" at the Porsche dealer (Fred Lavery Audi Co,34602 Woodward Avenue Birmingham, MI 48009). Last year we had two 928's out front on Woodward and were received well.

Oh yes... I agree on that karma thing Rod, Andrew great job on the event calendar...!

Unfortunately, I can't make it. My wife will be in Amseterdam and the kids have school to following day. So I will direct you to Dennis for specifics, or you can coordinate it yourself.

Matt:

I just sent an email to the group. If we have enough interest (at least a dozen people or so), I'll contact Kart-2-Kart to get pricing and availability. I assume it'll be at least $20 each person. These are quick karts, requiring the use of helmets (provided by Kart-2-Kart).

Looking forward...

I know i had proposed having a dyno day in April, but I think I might want to bump that up to March. The main reason is that I'm scheduled to do a dyno session in Green Bay on April 19th which is the day I had tentatively set for us. Since Easter is early this year, the weekend of March 22nd is probably out, but maybe we could do the 29th?

Thoughts? Then maybe we can have a little spring time tour in late April early May? Maybe a cruise to Holland, MI to check out the tulips? Just a suggestion. Looks like the Tulip festival is May 3-10. I would suggest May 3.
