Me: 1 car

Smokiemon944, mr. piff, Toofast928, ttadict, art_z, potsiewebber, flott leben? Anyone else?

Anthony, I've got to get my kids up there to that carting place. That sounds like lots of fun. Do you have to set it up ahead of time or can people just show up and go out there? Do you need to bring anything like your own helmet?

Cool the 12th then.. I was going to invite everyone back to my place afterwards since we are so close but I was beaten to it.

Just show up. It is $10 a day entrance plus each run. If you pay $20 you get a license which is good for one year. You go twice and it pays for itself. Min height is 54" with shoes. They are electric carts and are 2 different speeds. They don't run the fast and slower carts together. They also have a room with a driving simulator and multi screens so you can see how you are doing against the others.

That sounds awesome. I'll have to get more info from you on the 12th. Looking forward to it (and seeing your cars on the dyno. I will definitely be getting some video of this).

Not sure if I'll be able to make it.
But can you amend thread title to include date.

And when's the cut-off date for committing?

Was nice being able to exercise the powerplant a little down in SITM.

Ok I'm In

Do you think we'll have time to tune a-little between pulls?

Yes, they allow you to tune during and between pulls, and they install a wideband O2 right into your exhaust to give accurate fuel charts. They also have a tail pipe probe for cars that need to have their stock O2 sensor in place.

Look forward to meeting you finally, Tony!

I tried updating the thread title, but it's not showing up that way.

I'm not sure when the cutoff to commit is. I'm hoping we can get just one more definite. I imagine if we only have 5 people it will just be a little more per car.

Thread titles can only be modified for the first week. The only fix now would be to start a new thread and link this one to it.

Mike, about prices...TT's prices are very reasonable on a normal day, compared to what you guys are getting charged, it seems. We're actually getting like a group deal here, and it's costing less per car than even Kevin and I paid for our past appointments there. The regular prices are $75 for 4 pulls, or $125 per hour. Well, those were regular prices the last few times we went. Our last visit was, what, last July or August or thereabouts? I'd have to go back to our old threads to say for sure.

Still, $60 is less than what they were charging, either way. I'm really hoping we can do both our cars...it's almost like a 2 for 1 deal for us, because we've always done the $125 per hour deal in the past!

Awesome, we've got 7 now at least, right:

Anthony: 2 cars
Kevin and Leslie: 1 (maybe 2?)
Adam and Apryl: 1
Me: 1
Tony: 1
Smokiemon944: 1

Very cool. This will be fun.

Leslie, what time do they want us there?

Would it be a problem if I bring 2 cars?
I would like to bring my 951 up if I could.

If you can drive two, I don't see a problem.

Leslie, is there a maximum number of cars we can get in?

I figure it would be a great father son trip. I am the son, and I am sure my old man would have some fun.

TT won't be open for a while yet this morning, but I'll try to get them on the horn later and get answers to all your questions!

My 928 is currently down on coolant and boost leak. If I can't fix it by 7/12 can I bring some other car (911 or SRT-4)? What time do does it start?
