He was going to be there Saturday but can't make it Sunday.

Picked up the tuner yesterday, so the rex is running the proper map now.

Brake lines will be installed Monday, and new downpipe will be installed on the 17th.

tl;dr

I will be able to push.

CAR SHOW IS BACK ON FOR TODAY! The show I mentioned earlier had been moved back to today at the original time. The official organizers want to move forward, as the forecast indicates mainly clouds during that time. Chance of rain has also dropped. Please try to make it out if you can!

I would not have been able to make Sunday. Could do today though.

Some cool stuff. Sorry I didn't get there earlier.

Thanks for braving the rain and coming out! I hope you enjoyed looking at the cars that were there.

This is going to be an annual event from now on and I'll get the word out earlier. Last year they had over 50 cars. I guess the threat of rain kept most of the cars away.

Yeah, the Sunday FFX car show was a little light too, apparently, but the showing was still some of the best cars Ive seen in a LONG time. That custom Lister was just...stupid hot.

How was the little AutoX course? I was most excited for that :-p

Thanks for showing up and setting up the short autocross course! I know that the course was not as big as we were expecting (damp in one corner and a small lot), but you made a good little down and back run. Not enough cones available to make it a legitimate autocross event. I was not responsible for the cones this year, but I'll make sure that we have plenty of cones next year and actually do some crossing over instead of just down and back. You made the most of what we had and I know the drivers appreciated it. I think the spectators enjoyed it as well.

Hope your autocross event went well on Sunday.

It was cool. I got there late but still some nice cars. I wanna go next year. Would be willing to help out as well. Since there were some young folk there it might be worth pushing the idea of either the Tire Rack sponsered Street Survival program or the BSR accident avoidance program at Summit Point. I got my son into the Street Survival school. Very cool, directed to the 15 to 22 year old crowd, taught limits of your car in both wet and dry with class and driving (wet/dry skidpad, emergency braking, maneuvarability course, slalom, and emergency lane change.)
