holy hell!
I'm sitting here making a list of all the things I need to bring this weekend (because I KNOW I'll end up forgetting something) and I just realized I'm bringing 5 cameras to this thing.

I would recommend some type of folding chair for those who are planning on sticking around for a while.
For you gringos out there who are fare skinned: bring sunblock! Temps will be in the 80's.
you guys bitched about the rain last year so this time around you get clear skies and sun!

I'll be there around 8:15am to help Steve get the shop ready and for me to wire up the webcams, camcorder, etc

8:30 is perfect.

man, I can't WAIT to see your car on the dyno!

thanks Greg, I appreciate it!
my biggest question right now is where to set up the time lapse camera? I've got a nice tripod (courtesty of FastRX8) but I wanted to try a different angle this year.
Last year the camera was in front of the cars (by the lift) but this year I'm thinking a rear 3/4 view would be cooler.

Need to figure out where to put it so it won't be knocked over and still gives us a good image.
