Default Chris in Toronto:

Got a date at ARE for tuning Thurs morning. My plan is to get to Toronto Wed night. Probably staying at the Comfort Inn, unless you wanna rent out your couch <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Would you show me the way to ARE from the Inn, on Wed night? EMAIL me your # if you can help. Thanks. Harold

Are you staying at Comfort Inn Pickering?

In case you end up on your own, this map

http://search.worldres.com/cgi-bin/m...t=438157&poi1l ng=-791195&si=394&level=7&event=zoom

shows the hotel location (a blue star). ARE is on the NW corner of Brock Rd. and Bayly (top right corner of the map).

Here

http://search.worldres.com/cgi-bin/m...1lng=-791195&s i=394&lat=438345&lng=-790680&ml=10&event=pan

is a zoomed-in map showing where ARE is. The driveway is on the east side of Salk, just north of Bayly.

I will likely be at ARE Wed. night, and possibly Thursday after work. Maybe we'll meet. My '98 SS should be completed by ARE on Wed.

P.S. Sorry about the URLs. The short dash seems to confuse the parser into adding a space.

I have rehearsal with my band on Wed night <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
I should be able to meet you at ARE after work on thursday though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Also getting to ARE is easy off the 401.
Exit on brock road.
Go south on Brock to Bayly
Turn right onto Bayly,
Then right onto Salk.
Then first right into a business complex and ARE is right there. Literally 2 minutes off the 401.
Give me a call when you get in and I will arrange to meet up with you. Maybe grab some food or a beer on Thursday.
Cheers,
Chris

I hope you get out early. I plan to get there as early as I can & get on the dyno. Should be done by 3:00 PM.

I'll give you a ring, if you already emailed the #. See ya.

Yes, my plan was to make Fri. Midnight Madness at Stanton, if all goes well with the tuning. The weather should be cool at 11:00 PM <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />

We'll see what the car has in it. You going to make it?

I'm going to make it. Hopefully I will have the 8.5" Convo Pro's with the 11.5" Hoosiers!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> They should be here by Friday. Also got Skinnies up front.

I hope this hooks better than my Nittos do. And the hook at Milan was the worst I've ever seen. But I am anxious to hammer the hell out of this and get some damn times! See you there.

Sounds like things are coming together good Harold. I'm ordering those tires here in a minute (8.5" rim). Had the car out with the Corvette Forum guys last night and had a blast. Traction through 500' was horrible. I blew through 1st and 2nd spinning and back pedaling like crazy. Once it hooked I was hauling *** down the track!! Launching off the 12 bolt was awesome too. I just let it rip and it never even screamed like the 10 bolt did. You're gonna love yours even more after you get that tuned up.

Are you going to try and make it to midnight madness Friday? Good luck with the tuning.
