At this rate Jedi is going to have to set up an org-chart and have a timeline graph to keep everything straight.

Now if we could just get SR to move their shop to a neighborhood that has real hotels.....

Brettus, please tell me you're kidding.

Either way, even more reason to come out and hang out with everyone.

Will BHR install an ignition kit while they're here, or they not doing that kind of stuff? If so I would be in for one of those.

If some encouragement will make a day 3 happen I would bring beer/food/pay a day 3 tax. Anything....

Map: BHR will be on hand to do remote installs, PM Easy_E1 and I'm sure you guys can work something out.

As for a 3rd day, that would be my call but to be honest I'm not sure I want to go that route at this time.
Let's see how things play out and go from there.

haha, I'd forgotten about that!
didn't Flashwing give you a ride in his car and that's what convinced you to buy a Nitrous kit from BHR?

that's a win-win.

Uh, no.
Each day will already be 12 hours or more, non-stop for me.

^^^ THIS.

For those who are new to this event or who haven't joined us in years past, it might sound simple to add a few more cars or a few more hours to the day but what often is overlooked is how exhausting this weekend already is.
First car goes on at 9:00 and I honestly do not expect to leave SR any time before 9:00 pm on each night.
I think Jeff and I did a dyno day once with Master Yoshiya-san where we were there until 11:45 pm!

Now take into account that guys like Jeff and I will most likely be the first guys at the event and last ones to leave for two consecutive days and you'll realize why more hours isn't something we're willing to do at this point.
