Default Big parts party: Sears Point Raceway

November 10-11.

Colin is coming down from Canada to install a set of Triflow cams into the S4.
TB/WP while were there as well.

Then dyno work Sunday after the install is done.


Bill Ball is working to come out, who else wants to dip in?

Be a GREAT learning experience..it'll ALL be apart.

Free lunches, free dinner Saturday

We should get Porken to come down.
He can start to play with the STII and maybe he will have figured out how to adj the RPM cells to ramp up the timing around the peaks already.....

also to those interested in camshafts, I'm offering a free upgrade to tri-flow as a fall/movember sale, limited quantities avail.

Yes. I have garage space reserved in the paddock. Garage 1.

It's a race weekend, and I work it.

what weekend is it. who is racing there?

I was just up there for the POC-PRC NASA event last weekend to do some work wiith Borelli Motorsport and see the PRC folks. actuallly, it was a pretty cool weekend. I kind of like the format where there are DE guys at a race even and all the cars are sports cars (vs SCCA with all the open wheel classes and no DE guys)

.

NASA Season Closer event.

The DE classes are what drives the youth and growth within NASA.

But..come on up, cheerlead for Colin.

When im not working in Tech, I'll be in the garage.
