I was planning on late June/early July (before the 5th)...
Any thoughts?
Jimbo, Nyack is right before the Tappan zee bridge when you're goin down 287 towards NJ.
John, I signed up for saturday and sunday...friday was a lady's/upper level run group day only. I got the rollbar bolted in...I'm not sure which color I prefer...black or white...but whats done is done. I yanked out the tops of the rear seats to make up for the added weight. Your yoko's got chewed up cause you were running like -.5 degrees of camber I thought??
Dave...man...stupid $@$@#$@# mechanics!!!
Tom, got your PM...I totally forgot about the autocross season...woops...I should be there at the Plan unless my car is in pieces.
Glad to see some interest...we'll need ~10 cars...

I'm in again, I'd like to see how the new cab looks-and I'll also provide him with the right data so he can get an accurate read this time.
Adrial, if you're managing this, I recommend you have everyone give Rick a call and leave a credit card deposit that is small, but nonrefundable. Last time we had too many no shows, and I don't think it was fair to Rick. My 2 cents.

Yeah, the camber I had at the time didn't help, but the rears were not looking good either, and those were within my specs. Since then Tobay hasn’t been as harsh.

Each person that gives me a definite will have to leave a deposit with Rick (Deman motorsports)...the size of that deposit will be up to him.
I'm counting 9 possibilties...this is great! The more the merrier, I'm going to post to the other boards.
John, when did you send in your registration??

Dan, last time I was there they ran my car 3 times...just to see that it would duplicate the results...because the results were a bit, ok a lot high for a stock 951S.
So, I dont think getting the runs you need will be a problem, however make sure you know what you're doing with the tuning device before you get there...because I'm pretty sure they won't be able to help you with actually using the handheld tuner...only with suggestions on what to alter.
Sounds good Dan...will see you there...once we have enough interested parties I'll give Deman a call and pick a date...
I'm really glad to see some mildly/not so mildly modified turbo's getting into this...I'll have some cars to compare to!

i can think of so many things i want to do on the dyno god i cant wait until rpm has one in house!

adrial, someone told me deman had the dyno where you pop off your rear wheels and bolt on to their hardware?
i know you probably dont want to come out to the island but there is a place in deerpark called mustang magic, they have a nicer dyno and they would be cheaper. (they have a dyno day for anyone who wants to come, no specific club, next month for 3 runs @ $75). I would call them and see how many people we need to take over their place for the day.
