We should have TONS of pics if all goes as planned.
PhotoChick will be there to photograph the day's shenanigans and so will Atilla.
Those two should come up with plenty of eye candy for everyone.

P.S. don't forget we're gonna broadcast the whole thing via webcam. I'll post details on that Friday

Racing gas is not a bad idea.
I don't tune for it, but on the FI cars, it is an insurance policy.

I jsut want high HP so I don't eat the marshmallow...

It will effect it.. the only way around it is to have Jeff make a map for 91 then burn through that gas and go fill up with some 100 then have a separate map.. However im drunk so I might not be making sense..

If you guys are interested my two future brothers-in-law are hosting a gathering at Peppino's on Irvine and Sand Canyon after the Dyno Meet. I am going to head over and hang out with them when we are done.
