Don't worry, Motown Muscle has Milan rented for the morning of Saturday, May 27th. I'm sure the Stenod crew will be there anyway for some more TnT of the new pit cooler mobile. It's needs to be in top condition for the next shootout event the following weekend.

So I'll guarantee you'll have tuning passes on that day at the latest because we never see rain.

I'll bring a cake to the track in your honor.

I'm sure their will be plenty of video coverage too. We've been running about 45-50 cars with around 140 specators for our track days. So the cameras are always flashing.

I agree on the Dyno deal.Most of the cars we race get tuned on the street or track. Even Purevl's car got tuned on the street first.Of course it was mostly done in 5th gear,rolls from 60mph to 160mph (only gear the car would hold without spinning)

"Live Load" tuning is the best. That is why the freeways are four lanes wide.

I'm curious, how does the liability work out? If the car should break something (related or not related to the shop work)? If the car was crashed? If the driver gets hurt? Does the shop assume all the risk? I don't mean to be a wet blanket, I was just wondering.

I have full coverage on the car still..... and Stenod and harlan both have permission to drive the vehicle so id probably claim it....... then id buy another car and im pretty sure Joe would HOOK me up with another turbo kit...
That would suck but i know by the way he does buisness and treats his customers in the end everything would turn out ok.

Its a great thing to have faith in a shop.
Joe has earned that with me.
