Alright, well I will make this happen if Lythor doesnt. 2 1/2 months should give him plenty of time, but I would expect that a location needs to be secured and cost amounts need to be set in the next 2 weeks, and money needs to start changing hands in the next month.

how can you not like some of the wine that comes out of the Napa or SLO county regions?
you're not human Jeff. That's the only explanation.

Question for Jeff:
How much time dyno on average is needed per vehicle?
Dyno only?
Dyno and AP tune NA?
Dyno and AP Tune FI?
With 9 vehicles, 3 FI tunes and 6 NA tunes I was thinking that might be a full day. I figured 45 minutes for every NA tune = 4.5 hours and 1 hour for the FI tunes = 3 hours. That brings us up to 7.5 hours and most shops rent the dyno out for an 8 hour block, so we would have an extra 30 minute block open.

if you're moving quickly and have people organized, I usually budget the following way.
Dyno only (3 pulls) = 30 mins
Dyno + N/A Tuning = 45 minutes
FI tuning = 1 hour each, minnimim. FI cars can be "temperamental" so you need to be prepared to allow more time.
What type of dyno also plays a role since you need to factor in time to strap the cars down, take them off the dyno, etc.

prepay is a great way to make sure people show up 
To Jeff, Jedi, and any of the BHR guys who want to show up.. you can all crash at my house while here. More then enough room for everybody.

Well I don't want to step on your toes, this was started by you, so how about you keep it going. fFind a location, get the prices for the Dyno and Jeff, and start a new thread with all the details. If you don't want to handle the money, I can do that. My paypal account has the lower business fee anyways. I'm thinking $50 reserves a persons spot, but all money needs to be in 4 weeks before the event. If you ask for the whole amount now, people always wait to commit.

I wonder if anyone would be interested in someone coming out to do corner balancing and alignements? Hopefully the shop we get would have some extra room and if the interest is there I have someone in mind that can help you dial in your suspension.
