I just got my car back so I'm game for whenever. I saw Steve this weekend - he just dropped off his car to Speed this past week so he's without her until mid Augustish. But he said once he gets it back he was thinking about doing a get-together at his new house. It's a pretty cool place!

I'm down whenever Pete. I'm pretty flexible. I actually wouldn't mind getting everyone together and heading to Cordova sometime before the season is up. I just need to finish some wiring on the kit...get some slicks for my prostars and I'm ready to go.

Any of you guys up for one of the Friday fun nights at Cordova? If its not convenient we can probably hit them up on a weekend test and tune day.

I want to put one together at my house. We just moved and have 5 acres. Once I get an idea of when speed will have the car tuned I will post up.

I don't have lots of girls in orange shorts but do have a lot of room and some great backdrops for pictures. We are in Congerville now so half way between Bloomington and Peoria. We also have a keg fridge and a fire pit. I can set up the volleyball net as well.

Let me know and I'll keep you posted.

Cordova is a good idea for a racing day. I will need to do LOTS of tuning on the new setup.

Sounds like a good plan Steve. Keep us posted. In the meantime if somebody wants to go to Cordova some time post up.

Steve, what is the status of your car now? Have not been able to keep up with it lately.

Car status is needs to be tuned and some odds and ends done. Drivetrain is all in, battery is in the back, chassis is 90%, Speed Inc is tuning SD soon. Once I get it back I need to wrap up some stuff and then go to the track and test. It took a back seat to the move, I am almost done with the horse stuff and can put some attention into the car soon,

Hey Steve, keep in mind I have Hptuners. If you wanted to buy the 99 license I have no problem letting you use if for some tweaking. Same to you Nick.

You may have to negotiate the laptop away from my wife for a bit though
