Keep the snow off Cajon Pass please. I don't want to drive the 8 in the snow with my new front bumper....it's loooow. I am leaving early Friday to get there so maybe I'll beat the rain and snow. Now going home may be another problem. How come you ordered the rain and snow Jedi?

I think Cobb pushed an AP update yesterday. Either that or it was using yesterday's date because that is when I received an update.

In any case, use this as a reminder to update your APs.

Exactly... Wining blues have class, you can just start them up and expect them to go out all flustered. No...

They need time to get their hair right buttons button etc...

Class people, class...

Map, thanks for the reminder!
for those of you who haven't updated your AP's, please make sure you do that before this weekend as it'll speed everything up.

yeah, it's looking that way so we're limiting the event to only people getting tuned because it won't be safe to have that many people hiding from the rain in a cramped dyno bay while the car next to them is doing 130 mph.

Quick note to the FI guys:

Wanna make tuning easier for me and less scary for you?

Come to the event with only a half-tank of gas or slightly less and stop at Home Depot or Lowes on the way and pick up a single gallon of xylene from the paint department.

Think of it as liquid insurance.

I don't tune for it, but it allows me to go for tighter AFRs and timing quicker because I don't have to be so cautious, worrying about the quality of SoCal gas.

I did not bring my laptop to keep myself from working. My AP was up to date before I left the house but will not have newly released update. Is that going to be an issue?

BTW anyone notice someone keeps updating their WHP predictions in the spreadsheet

Consider it done...
