WoW!! Flame on KONIG!!!! :ylsuper:

Wish I could have come by on Sunday to see the beast runs (Gregs and Konig).

And yes Greg my ears took a few days to come around. What was your peak power, hp Sunday?

And as far as getting the pulls I paid for I have no problem. The car is running great and it was all worth it.:wiggle:

Once a year for this just isn't enough. Is there any interest in doing another one of these anytime in the near future? I'm sure that there are folks who did not get in on the last one simply because all the available slots were taken (read: time constraints).

Just putting out a feeler.

if your willing to help, jedi spends alot of time planning it and coordinating with mm, bhr, sr motorcars, i don't even know how time consuming the planning is, but i bet its alot lol

You're right - I bet it IS a lot of work! Not to mention a major PITA... lol

NgoRX8 09-06-2011 01:13 AM

that is why we only do it once a year...

Flashwing 09-06-2011 01:34 AM

So Jedi are we making this a 3 day event this year??

shadycrew31 09-06-2011 01:53 AM

Last I heard Dyno day is not going to happen this year.

NgoRX8 09-06-2011 02:44 AM

last i heard, we already had one this year.

scremn8 09-06-2011 08:07 AM

evil laugh

Atilla 09-06-2011 09:25 AM

:rofl:

yeah, it is definitely a PITA to plan...I can't wait for the next one though :bigok:

+1 on making it a 3 day event ;)

MazdaManiac 09-06-2011 09:49 AM

I'm gonna say February 17th - 19th, 2012.

The irony of the time constraints is that this event always fills up somewhat quickly, people drop out, and then I'm SCRAMMBLING to fill spots at the last minute (because I've already paid for the whole thing in advance out of my own pocket) and everyone who was on the 'wait list' or begging me for a spot suddenly cannot be located or is no longer interested.

I truly enjoy this meet but what people don't see is the enormous amount of planning that goes on behind the scenes to ensure things go smoothly.
Last year MM, BHR, SR Motorcars, and myself started planning almost 6 months out.

haha
I know we've joked about doing a 3 day event and I am open to considering it (I really should get my head checked) but it'll require a tremendous effort and lets not forget, it'll require the dyno shop to allow us to invade (and turn away other customers) for 3 full days.
that's a lot to ask for as these guys work 12-14 hours a DAY every time we show up. Some of us barely survive 2 days, I'm still not sure there's enough Monster Energy Drinks and donuts to make it through a 3rd day.
In other words, don't count on it...

ahhh, CRAP!
we're throwing out dates already?!
isn't that a Tuesday - Thursday? I was looking at having it around that time of the year but you missed my target date by a few days...

Atilla 09-06-2011 11:39 AM

I'm going to bring my camping gear n' just chill there for the weekend lol.

mike[piston eater] 09-06-2011 11:46 AM

3 days is wayyyyyy too hardcore

Those dates are a Friday through Sunday.

Jedi54 09-06-2011 12:03 PM

shit.
I was looking at the wrong month.


yeah, that's a holiday weekend and more along the lines of what I'm looking for.
WAIT, it's freaking September, why are we even talking about this???? :banghead:

Let me finish up a few things with the SoCal RX guys and then maybe we'll fire up google wave again. (even though they're pulling the plug on it soon. :( )

ShinkaEvo 09-06-2011 12:05 PM

Tempting....

shadycrew31 09-06-2011 12:45 PM

If you got an extra slot for a turbo let me know...

Atilla 09-06-2011 12:51 PM

this year(next year technically) could be pretty epic...lots of toorrrbozzz...

but please make this happen!

its amazing how smoothy everything goes every time we have had this event, hard to believe! just goes to show how well you guys plan it, good job!

ZumnRx8 09-07-2011 03:23 AM

pdxhak 09-07-2011 08:10 AM

I believe the proper term is "Roach Coach".

Atilla 09-07-2011 10:34 AM

are we FINALLY going to put the roach coach on the dyno?? :fingersx:

pdxhak 09-07-2011 10:56 AM

That would be awesome :lol: I'm really going to try to make it again next year with hopefully more time to spend in SOCAL. My mom drove me nuts so maybe I will plan to visit her on the return home.

Atilla 09-07-2011 11:19 AM

^+1

it was great to have you around to witness some of our shenanigans lol.

then we can spend more time talking about what your next set of wheels are going to be :D:

Jedi54 09-07-2011 11:21 AM

pdx, if you come down this way again I'll save you a spot on the dyno. Maybe we'll put you on right after the roach coach. :lol2:

Oh, and I think another trip to Brazilian bbq is in order.
Jeff: I'm warning you now, don't eat lunch like you did last year.

pdxhak 09-07-2011 11:24 AM

The Brazilian BBQ was AWESOME! I will not bother with the salad bar like last time. I know you told me to not ignore so that was my mistake!

Speaking of which...the other day on zilvia I saw a set of of SA60Ms and TM02s for sale :SHOCKED: Wife just spent a grip on replacing windows in the house though so I could not pull the trigger :banghead:

Atilla 09-07-2011 11:47 AM

OUCH....

Responsibility = Cure for Mod Bug (per riwwp)

don't say I didn't warn ya.
The Brazilian BBQ definitely seemed like a hit last year so we'll have to do it again.

We can go back to that restaurant or there's one in Fullerton that CRH likes. We'll just pick one closest to where people are staying.

Atilla 09-07-2011 01:32 PM

drifter_d 09-07-2011 11:33 PM

Glad I brought this up! :lol2:

pdxhak 09-07-2011 11:47 PM

You are selling your car right? Why are you looking to get tuned then?

NgoRX8 09-07-2011 11:53 PM

I wondered the same thing when I saw his FS thread.

ZumnRx8 09-08-2011 12:17 AM

:wiggle:

Easy_E1 09-08-2011 12:24 AM

I'll put the TII on the rollers this year.

Or maybe an FD with *00 whp?

Hmmmmm. :rolleyes:

ZumnRx8 09-08-2011 12:28 AM

Right now my 8 has *00 Hp :bigok:, but BUMP for Dyno day!
