Cool 10 day forecast for Wichita: starting to cool off a bit!

Things are looking up! It looks like it's going to cool off a little here in KS—it hit 118 °F (47.8 °C) in Norton Dam, KS last week. Compared to that, the weather in Wichita next week looks pretty darn good.

As of right now, here's the 10 day forecast:

The good news is that we'll keep it under 100 °F for the OCIC! And no rain.

So everyone scrambling to get those A/Cs fixed (that includes me), relax a little!

David my friend you will be missed but the extra red liquid will not go to waste I can assure you.
Shame but understandable - family comes first.

Want you to use my GTS so you for once and for all understand the real power and drivability of an auto 928 and not waste any more time wanking a stick shift.

Marble Falls in November and stay for the Formula One party 8>)

Some of you men might be able to click on these links to see the lovely young ladies that will be joining the 928 Owners Club team at OCIC! They will be stationed at the OC table unless they are shooting with me or wandering the floor.

Don't hesitate to take them to the side and snap a few pics of them with your car and please tip them. They are all volunteers!

Great News - Victor of Image Star will be attending OCIC with his Supercharged 928 and will be fitting his superchargers to two customers cars on the Saturday.

Victor has designed his own SC system and I look forward to adding his awesome and cost effective kit to my product list 8>)

Friends,

I have to apologize...

I was asked last year when this event was being planned to see about bringing some models to the event to man the OC table and it was my idea to shoot some pics for the calendar, but apparently I misunderstood the request.

As such I have canceled all of the models...

Sorry for the confusion. This was/is NOT a decision that I would have made on my own without being asked or asking in the first place.

Go in peace and bring the family no scantily clad ladies will be there, at least not any invited by me.

Respectfully,

Getting ready to head over to Kansas on Weds. Got my lists out and gathering everything up. Car is ready to go........except for one minor detail. It doesn`t start...lol seems to have a fuel pressure issue, or should I just say it has none. I tracked it down to a bad fuel pump relay or green wire. Both should be here Tues. and we will see. If not.....we will go to plan B. (not sure what that is yet !)
