I am a definite yes, though I'm not sure if I'd be staying overnight yet or not. Would it be okay if I brought a guest as well?

Or me. I plan on one run Saturday morning before rockers and if there is any traction to be had (or slicks) I'll be in the 13's.

If you don't have time to make it there how about a friendly challenge from the other green 99 SSEi in MN? Meet me at Rock Falls Saturday -I'm putting the rockers in and 3.4" on and would like to see how your 99 runs with the cam, headers and trans.
Sorry Pete and everyone else organizing this -I'd love to come out but things are very hectic now for me at all 3 places (Winery, McCoy Motorsports, and personal life) and Sunday is out of the question so the drive would be all the day would be for me -6 hrs each way.

I am ALMOST done with my VE tune. It's getting pretty crazy because I'm to the point where I'm performing selecting graph smoothing, then smoothing the entire result. I like to experiment.
Anyway, Ken I'll be giving you a ring once I get my first scan in with the MAF plugged back in.

Re: MWBF'08; Which weekend works?...UPDATE!!!!!
I would run at the track if I had tires for it. I just have H rated ones on at the moment and I do not want to burn any tread off them, they got to last through the winter. That and the possible quirky transmission, it was about 3/4 quarts low from the recent pan drop and filter replacement so I'm hoping that's reason why it was a bit goofy.olblueeyesbonne wrote: If you don't have time to make it there how about a friendly challenge from the other green 99 SSEi in MN?

Re: MWBF'08; Which weekend works?...UPDATE!!!!!
Bad news guys. I went over a set of railroad tracks this evening and the weld on my resonator broke (weld between the outlet pipe and the resonator body.) It completely scared the *shoot* out of me. 
This never fails to happen. I just picked up my new QTPs today and had everything ready to pack up in the car.
Let's hope MWBF 09 works out better from me. I'm now 0-2. :(
I hope you guys have fun and set some new PBs.

Re: MWBF'08; Which weekend works?...UPDATE!!!!!
I'm going to be short and clear: I'm not hosting any events in the future.
I'll let it be known when I head out to the track if I'm going to race or help one of you out, but no more meets.
Jake, where the hell were you? I called, left a message, and never got a reply. This is a repeat of last year when you went into hiding. I'm very frustrated and tired of how weak meets have become lately.

Re: MWBF'08; Which weekend works?...UPDATE!!!!!
I am tired, sweaty, and sunburned. It was a very small mini meet, which definitely wasn't in the game plan, but I had fun anyway.
Kyle, I totally understand why you aren't wanting to host this one again, though. There was definitely a major planning fall through, but thanks for having us.
