I have access to a full shop with lifts if anybody needs something fixed. I would be more than willing to help anyone. Its only about 2 miles from the track if needed.

110% awsome! How can we identify you in person should anyone be in need of some major assistance?
I'll have a little jack with me, and some tools. I'll be over on the road course part though. Any other MS guys running the twisty track? |

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
I'll be bringing all of my tools as well. Won't be quite as comprehensive as some people's, but they've served me well at random intervals.
I'll be up probably around 6:30-7 tomorrow.
Plugs, coils, boots, wires, and the car's running great. It's time to go break something.

How did the weather treat you guys last night? Newton, IA was in storm warnings till 3am, and an extremely close lightning strike (had to have hit somewhere here at the track) woke me up around 4am. Skies are clearing up now, though!

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
This has been an awesome test and tune session for me. The first pass was 10.2 @ 152.5. It bogged on the second pass off the line. The third pass was 9.9 @ 148. I was warned to slow down. I hope to improve the 60 foot tomorrow!
