Hey Tony,

Sounds awesome! I'd love to do this, it will probably have to be in the early PM by the time I get up there. Hopefully I can meet you there before you leave.

Very cool!

Hey. It's Paul, brother of Tom with the white '86 1/2.

Is this a Porsche only deal, or can I bring my lowly Buick?

Even with a slipping trans and street radials, it would be fun!

Hey Tony,
So that is a "Test and Tune" day, right? How does the pricing work - do you pay to get in and can take as many runs as you like?

Cool Ed,
My buddy is taking his 67' Mustang. You both should hit it off well.

the 928?!?1 I thought you had like a dozen or so. Come on Ed, bring two cars at least. I don't want to be the only NA 928 there lumbering down the track!

Tony, I guess your friend got his Mustang fixed then? I was heart broken when you told me it was down after having seen it at the dyno that day.

COOL!!! I wish we could line up against one another to have a little fun, but I think last time they said you basically go against whoever is in the other lane.

Awesome! That really beats the alternatives!

I'm working from home Tuesday so that's perfect. What time are you planning to be there?

HAH! Good one, don't tell me you have an 87 Grand National or GNX, or some other form of 3.8L Turbocharged mid 80s Buick a la T-Type? Or if you are just joking around and have a GSX?

As for me wish I could come all the way out to race my 87 Grand National. But the car is in California and I'm still in Lithuania with no end in sight.

Off topic, any leads on 2010 Turbos with PCCBs?
