Perhaps we could meet in NKY early and then meet with blackevolution8. That way all those that may not know where TIC is will be able to follow.

Yeah I booked a room at the all american inn a couple weeks ago. Its walking distance to the best western and econolodge where the parties are. It was about $330 for friday and saturday night. They may still have rooms left. Not sure though. I may be able to spare some floor space for a small fee. . Let me know what your plans are.

chiming in....

just re-aquired my 2003 OZ edition. i gave it to my baby mom over a year ago when we had our son. well she passed away last month and we cleared the house out like 2 weeks ago and i got the lancer back.

its more or less destroyed cosmetically....needs a lot of TLC....any help from locals would be greatly appreciated with any hook ups for parts ect or a hand here and there. beer can be supplied. haha

Anyone know of any local tracks for circuit racing / time attack around cincinnati ? I wouldn't mind checking out the evo's abilities on a track once it is finished but I am worried about breaking and being too far away to afford a tow .

OK those of you who live in the N KY area I need some bird dogs. Please help me scout the area for shop space. I need enough room for a dyno (dynapac) and 2 to 3 lifts, and an office/waiting area.

The wife is all for me building a shop so I am going to do my best to make it happen. I might need "investors" in order to make this happen.

So, I will be home some time in September. I am in hopes that the shop can be open and running by November. I am certain that many of you would love for me to do some work for you over the off season.

So....help me make it happen.

Paul

The Business plan is being written, I am searching for dyno vendors, and the financial projections are being worked.

If some of you could help me in acquiring competition data (number of other shops, specialty shops, speed shops, etc.. in the N KY and Cincy area) so that I can do my competitve analysis I would appreciate it.

Lastly, I know someone on here is a pretty good web developer. I need a site built.

Don't waste your time with a dynapack, Paul. If your gonna do it, do it right.

The thing is the dynapack is 1 cheaper to operate, 2 much cheaper on insurance costs because you don't have to strap a car down, and 3 portable so shop floor space can be maximized. Oh, and since it is portable, I can take it to shows and do pulls for people at the shows.

There is a method to my madness.

Remember, a dyno is a tool just like any other tool. They all have a purpose. The dynapack fits my needs perfectly.

You have to remember too...I will be basically a one man show for a while. I cannot afford a huge shop. Not by any means.

If I had the cash, the employees, and the space. I would certainly consider other options.
