Feel free to stop by to look or participate! Should be fun!

Some cool stuff. Sorry I didn't get there earlier.

Thanks for braving the rain and coming out! I hope you enjoyed looking at the cars that were there.

This is going to be an annual event from now on and I'll get the word out earlier. Last year they had over 50 cars. I guess the threat of rain kept most of the cars away.

Picked up the tuner yesterday, so the rex is running the proper map now.

Brake lines will be installed Monday, and new downpipe will be installed on the 17th.

tl;dr

I will be able to push.

CAR SHOW IS BACK ON FOR TODAY! The show I mentioned earlier had been moved back to today at the original time. The official organizers want to move forward, as the forecast indicates mainly clouds during that time. Chance of rain has also dropped. Please try to make it out if you can!

I would not have been able to make Sunday. Could do today though.

Well, it's never "supposed" to rain at a car show ;-). I think the cars will all be parked under cover. So we would still like a good turnout.

Is that guy with the 458 Italia going to be there? Wish my car wasn't in the shop :/

Yeah, the Sunday FFX car show was a little light too, apparently, but the showing was still some of the best cars Ive seen in a LONG time. That custom Lister was just...stupid hot.

How was the little AutoX course? I was most excited for that :-p

The lot that we were able to use and the limited number of cones minimized the course to a slalom down and a little bit of a zig back. If we had more cones and the corner was dry, then we could have made it more interesting. The cones were not stored where we were told they would be. TakJak2 setup the course. He definitely worked well with the minimum space/cones he had to work with! Top speed was probably only 25 for a second, but I think folks enjoyed it. Hearing some of the cars exhaust note was good for the spectators. We had a Ford GT40 and a Ferrari 360 (with a 430 exhaust with a dump valve that was set to "Very Loud" ;-) that made good use of the noise factor. Next year I may try to get more space for us to set up the course. Safety is a huge factor for the church, so we had to consider that when we were setting it up this year.
