How early do we need to get there for a 'good spot'?
I just wanted to get on the dyno early.

Max - 'OK kids' (from Alvarado) will be there with a camper. May have extra room?

there is an rv park next door. For camper folks.

And rowland, i would go to ctdctd.com to pre register, or you may not dyno until late... I remember last year they started at 9 and were still running at 10pm. Im trying to be there at 7 so i can park close to the shop.

If memory serves correct, that is probably the first time anybody took advice from Big Blue

Was nice to see you, Charlie and Brian on 75 the other day. Sorry I couldn't make it out to the ranch. Lots of stuff going on, but I have a roof now. And you are correct, inside your house is no place to be when you are getting a new roof

Wont make this one guys... Can't stomach the idea of driving 500miles for a dyno... Save that $ and run at Ardmore in 2 weeks...

Sounds like a good event though... BigBlue should have his new VP on by then.. See where that gets him..

So was it his inj pump that was causing him grief? he told me he thought he had a weak cylinder. I hope it was just the pump.
