OK. Anyone in school care to chime in? We will push the date out a week. We want all to be able to attend...

Choose between these dates, guys...May 17th & 18th, 2008 or May 24th and 25th, 2008.

Can't do both. Too far of a distance to do that. Looks like dallas...

Thanks,

Ryan

I should be able to do both of these. It would be impossible for me to say which would be better at this moment, but it is very probable that I will be able to make this.

To boot: I should have the V8 supercharged by this time. Superchargerrebuild.com is scheduled to get the headunit I need in stock by March. Regardless, I will at least have the 5MT working.

This is awesome. The chance to meet the icons of the Lexus V8 community excites me.

Cool so see if they are open for those dates then? How much parking space do you think we would need? What else should I ask them? I think if we can come up with a flyer (as a shameless plug for new customers) I think they'd be all in.

LiLS, c'mon man! I'm forty five mins from the ATX, we could roll together man!

Depends upon the turnout, but I hope we will have many show up. We would like to see if they will offer up trophies, and provide judging as well.

I have the dyno shootout set up, and the dyno. I also have the tuning set up for those that want it. Chris Macellero, he not only tunes cars, but he also teaches tuning at EFI university. He is a most excellent tuner, and can assist all that really want to tweak their tunes. He is doing the final tune on my car.

I am thinking it is time to speak to CL to list this as an official event, too.

Let us choose the later date in May, then.

Let me know guys.

Ryan

I think you should have CL list this as an official event, because it's themed for us UZ guys, but we are still INVITING all other lexus owners too.

I had a chance to check the school's schedule in May. The later date would make things significantly easier for me. The early date is able to be done, but not without jumping through a few hoops.
