I realize that the 14th is Valentines Day, and it is also the Chinese New Year (Korean too, I believe). So yeah, it's tricky regardless.
What about 12th/13th? Kane could take an afternoon flight or so, we'll do an evening class and dinner (pizza, anyone?), and maybe another class on Sat before he goes back.

Alrighty! So let's try to figure out the most optimal day lol...

All I need is some space and a big monitor or LCD tv or projector etc... I will bring all the cables; but I can't really bring my 32" LCD monitor.

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.

Speed - thanks for the info. The setup you described (pending your wife's approval) would be good for us. The snow is coming in this weekend, so I'll hope it goes away by next weekend. I don't know how many of us were also interested in doing the dyno - I was planning on doing a baseline of mine for future reference.
Please keep me updated on the Dyno day event - if we do 12th/13th, that would coincide with the Saturday (13th) that the Dyno day could occur.
So for the rest of you guys (RX8YA, RX927, TanyerRX, RIWWP, DJ.NADA, heyarnold), which of you want to include a dyno run?
And the maybes (treceb, lepichichi, NYC Drift King, Doublegoose) - is the date 12th/13th good or bad? Any other suggestions from you guys? The location is pretty much set for NYC/Long Island - the dyno shop is 30 minutes from Queens. Price looks to be maxed at $800 (ignoring dyno run costs).

I'm not entirely clear on the cost of the dyno run - Speedfreak would have to clarify that.
I don't imagine our entire group would need to do it - I was just wondering if any one of us would. Speedfreak has other people discussing it in the LI forum I think.
Quoting Speed from the LI forums:

I was thinking about setting up a dyno meet at my tuners shop. He just got a brand new 4 wheel drive dyno with over 2000whp capacity. So any car could come (but we love rotories of course). I still have to talk to him about it but its only going to make him money and maybe get some clients so I don't think he'll be against to it. When do you guys think would be a good time,date,and price per car?

I'd personally call in dead but that is just me 
Kinda annoyed I just found this thread now. Though I have sadly left the 8 world I still like to keep my knowledge up to par (or attempt to damnit!). Sadly loot and fixing the 240SX are sucking any form of extra cash outa me for a good road trip.
Whomeva goes to this I can honestly say are very lucky people.

NYC Drift King - I'll pm you as soon as I get all my information down.
I apologize that I can't choose dates that fit everyone, but if the rest of you can tell me if the 12th/13th is good or not, we can settle on that. So far only RIWWP has said a definite yes to those dates. For the people who said they can't do weekends, the Friday night would work for you guys. And for the people who can't do weekdays, the Saturday is good for you guys. Any other objections?

Sorry to report my Tuner will not be ready in the amount of time we were thinking. He still has some cars he needs ready for the races that start in March. The only other shop I could think is Function7's spot, I will see what they say the only thing is no dyno. It was just to soon guys sorry. I'm still down to help with anything!

For now, I'm pushing for the 12th/13th.
Speed, no problem dude. Would you still be willing to go to this class? Or were you just trying to tie this class and the dyno together?

I would love to hang with you guys but I can't do the class because all my funds are tied up into my FI project right now and that's what I should be finishing up next weekend. It would have been so cool to put us all together!

Hm - I don't mind pushing it back a week, but I won't be around lol.
So if enough people agree, I'll set it up to be the weekend of the 19/20 or 20/21.
