The last event of the series is on the 8th @ Boeing, no change in location as I thought. I heard lots things about this place not being worth it since its a small lot. However, the event is being capped at 100 participants, and each class runs 2 heats, so BSP is running 1st and 3rd. I will only register if a few others are going, so who's in?

I don't think the Boeing is much smaller than the most recent course at the Linc.

I'll most likely come out if the weather is nice.

shaw the best thing about coming in last is that you can only get better next time. I should be down for the last event. With only 100 people we're gonna get a lot of runs.

Pete, I really want to and am disappointed with myself for missing this whole summer of events. I am a little weary about going WOT until I get tuned for this exhaust and UICP. Also I am having a suspension issue that I am praying will get sorted out. The WOT bit is the main limitation though.....

Boeing and the Linc are similar in size, its just that Boeing lot surface is a little rough. The parking lot has been there a long time at Boeing versus the Linc's was just done a few years ago. It will be a short course, but thy seem to make it fun over there.

Chu said he is running Pro next year in BSP with me, so yes you have another Pro on your hands! Anyone who is in BSP, R compounds are your friends if you plan on beating me! Just saying.........

I am torn about going to Boeing, not worth explaining why I have another event to my wife. Plus I think I want to get started on my winter car projects already, few things on the horizon

I don't think any of us are going to be beating you anytime soon. What the hell could you be doing to that thing now?

Mike I think you need to upgrade your wheels & tires, I'll do you a favor and take those old ones off your hands for you...

BTW, talked to the boss, he's not sure what he wants to do, but said he'll call you when he figures it out.

Thanks Marc, I will wait to here from him. Tell him to call me if he needs any help with the planning, its what I do.

I won't be switching wheel and tires anytime soon, so sorry.... I am sure you can figure out away to acquire a set of tires and wheels prior to next season.

Minor things to car, E85, electronic boost controller etc. I am trying to smooth out the power delivery with my car. Right now the boost comes on to strong and unsettles the car coming out of turns a little to much for my liking. It happens to me a lot when I do not mean for it to happen. So hopefully the car will be a little more powerful after the changes, but easier to drive in theory.

I wouldn't worry too much dude. The stock tune is quite conservative. The car should be running close to exactly the same afr and timing as stock with your mods.. These cars were meant to beat the **** out of and handle it like a champ Have faith in your car Just remember to clean the soot off your rear bumper on a regular basis.
