Yeah the cold really sucks the fun out of most car things.... but it was 45 yesterday on my way back from the shop and my tune is just about done. Boosting like an animal on the freeway was frickin FUN!

Reminded me why we all do this stuff.

It would be great to combine both - 30 minutes from queens isn't that far.

Based on my math you need 4 people or more to make it worth your while vs doing an online seminar thing.

If you can get a few Speed3-6's that would bump the numbers up....but you would lose the rotary only focus....maybe some 7's might be interested?

Well, it'll have to be judged by who's interested. I personally don't know any Speed3 or Speed6 people

I'm interested. I'd be driving down where ever from RI, but worth it for the information if enough other people are on-board. Otherwise the online seminar is what I would do.

Awesome! Alright so far we have:

RX8YA, RX927, TanyerRX, RIWWP, DJ.NADA, and myself. Speedfreak, I'm not sure how I can coordinate with you regarding the dyno-day. If I remember from your other post about it, your guy is doing it strictly for business right?

Do any of you guys have a place where we can room Kane? If not, I'll take a look for lodging so I can calculate the final costs.

Alrighty - approximately 7 for now (this looks pretty good).

Kane - let's see if anyone would prefer to let you stay over for brownie points *cough cough*, but I'll also look for hotels that would make it easy for us to grab you lol. I actually haven't heard of Four Seasons, I'll take a look at that.

I was being sarcastic... 855 bucks a night for a single.... HAH

All I need is a cot - some rum and diet coke and an ac adapter... air mattress gets extra brownie points.

I just ordered some new cables and got my class edited; now I am pumped! LOL

Let's do this! Price change for awesomeness.... $360!!!! But you have to get me in and out in 48 hours.

So I can show up early Sat and Leave Sun evening; or whatever (Sun, Mon) - but I only want to spend one night in NY.... not that you guys are uncool or anything, but I need to get home to the family.

I am working hard to keep it well under $100 per person.

The more I think about it the more pumped I get to do this class.

List so far: RX8YA, RX927, TanyerRX, RIWWP, DJ.NADA, heyarnold, and myself (maybe treceb, lepichichi. NYC Drift King, Doublegoose)

Kane - what's your nearest airport?

Does anyone have place with a garage where we can hang to do this? Please let me know.

Kane - I was planning for a come Sat-leave Sun thing, so don't worry about that Thanks a lot for reducing the rate to $360. So far, a high estimate is $200 for airfare, and $200 for a one night stay (again, HIGH. I've no doubt I can get it lower as I'm shopping around right now). So we have a grand total of $760, which we can bump to $800 for any additional costs that might come up.

So for now, at 7 people confirmed, it looks like $115 per person. 8 people would make it $100, 10 would be $80, etc.

I want the date to be settled at February 13th-14th. Unless people would prefer 14th-15th, which I would need you guys to let me know. Weekdays are bad for me (and I assume most people), so that is why I chose the next weekend.

As for the where - if someone can volunteer a garage/house for those two days, that'll be great. Otherwise, I'll beg a favor of a friend to do it at their house or something. But it would be best if someone has a place.


Kane - I can be your ride from the airport, to the hotel, and back etc.
