Downtown is fine with me - I'm only 8 miles/15 minutes from the lake. Earlier is better for me, as I have another commitment mid-morning.

Spartan, do you have a spot downtown in mind?

No idea. I'm in the bucktown area but if anyone else can think of a place that has coffee and decent parking let me know! I'll keep thinking....

Deanriffs if your only 8 minutes from the city and have a good place in mind maybe we should just do that. If it's early enough in the morning we shouldn't have any traffic problems

Lets try to meet closer to downtown, most of us seem to be in that area and would rather not drive to the subs
Were you able to run big hoosiers?

Nope, I played it safe and ran 245 fronts and 315 rears. No traction issues at all with that setup and the guard lsd.

Car was pushing quite a bit at first, took one setting down on the front motons and it was much better. Needs a little more camber in the front though. Running 2.2 now but my outer tire edges are getting a ton of wear and the inside looks brand new. I think we can balance that out a little bit with a touch more camber in the front.

What fun cars we have!! I'll be at Grattan in a couple of weeks Acropora if that's in your neck of the woods

Spartan,

How does 7:30 sound? Hope that's not too early! I need to head out about 8:30 or so.

It looks like there is at least one person on the 993 board as well.

Spartan- let's car pool. This will give me a good reason to get up early and start installing my turbo kit. My 993 obviously won't be making an appearance.

Eric,

Sorry your 993 won't be making an appearance - nice looking car. I remember seeing it at Blackhawk once. Interested to hear about the turbo kit.

Anyone else? At least the forecast isn't for snow until Sunday right now!

Sounds good, guys. FYI, I will be there rain, snow or shine. I don't like to drive my car in the rain, but it's only a couple of blocks for me.

Next time, we'll try to do this at a more reasonable time, say 9 or 10am, and in warmer weather!
