I know some folks were still not sure which hotel is nearby my house to stay at.
Here is the hotel I am recommending: Silver Cloud Broadway.

This is the closest place to me that isn't a bed and breakfast and a reasonable price.

We don't get track days until March around here

Friday evening Highway datalog session details:
Okay I've found a place to meet on Friday after I pick up Jeff to do some highway datalogging. Jeff mentioned we can get a head start on street tuning Friday night to make Saturday go smoother. Please let me know who can make it. Here are the details:
Let's meet in the Safeway parking lot at the intersection of S 1st ave and SW 148th ave in Burien around 5:30pm.
We can do some runs on WA-509. It's usually not too crowded and there are some easy on and off ramps.
Here is the address: 1st Ave S & SW 148th St, Seattle, King, Washington 98166
to look up on Googlemaps: http://maps.google.com/
After that we'll all go to dinner together around 8:00 or so.

Mine basically looked like your FL. I cleaned them up with a scratch awl and some sand paper. I was Careful not to bend the electrode and affect the gap.

Yeah. I recommend going to min 4500. The tach always reads about 300rpm higher than actual. As long as you are above 4200rpm you go in to open-loop mode so it can be a log at any RPM above 4200 as long as it's constant.

Ok, quick question for anyone around. For my 2 drive cycles to be ok to test, is highway driving ok? I have a ~30min commute home if I cheat. If I don't cheat, it's 90min of stop and go traffic.

Remember datalog your 3rd drive cycle.
Idle for 30 seconds then highway for a couple minutes at 4500rpm+ in fourth gear.

So yah, car will cool off overnight, 1 cycle done. Commute in tomorrow will be #2. Then I'll stay late so I can hit 4500rpm on the way home for the datalog.
