WoW!! Flame on KONIG!!!!

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.

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.

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...

****.
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????

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. )
