Tuning Session, guaging interest.

I'm not too sure who the real sponsors are, but generally every Aug they have a big 3rd gen show right by the Dayton Internation Airport.

If a couple folks would be interested, I could throw a few things together, and maybe get together. ie in the parking lot next door, and talk tuning.

And Marion's Pizza ain't too far away...........

I'm in, just give me some more details like date and time. I've got a LOT on my plate so I need to plan well ahead of time.
BTW, Bruce, I e-mailed you a while ago but never got a reply. If you have a new e-mail address could you send a simple "I'm here" to my osu.edu account?

Carpool.

I had to get a set of heads to Arkansas, and as it turns out Saturn 5 was buying a truck from the same guy. So we split the gas going down, and caravaned back.

Yup! I would be there. I might even incorporate a little vacation into it, seeing as how King's Island is sooooo close to there!

Looks like there are enough to make loading things up, so I'll be updating this as the time approaches.

I'll be in the social outcast area, ie will either have the truck or GN there, with the good stuff.
If the GN is there, be sure to have your E coupons handy......

At the various Disneyland Rides of old, the E coupon is what it took coupon wise to get on the best rides.

I'm in! Been wondering about that Black Brick of Grumps. I'm still pulling old wires out of the Harness from my 870-730 swap. If I'm lucky I might even get to do some tuning before August so I know what the hell your all talking about

Even if you don't have a solid footing show up.

There is usually enough info flying around that just listening will bring up issues you might want to discuss. It's like reading the archives, so many topics from guys all at different levels of experience.

Maybe one day. I hope you guys report back some of what you learned and some of the fun you'll have had- sounds great.

Nope, it all gets classified, and locked up.
Don't want anyone to get the impression that we do any test drives or demo the DIY-WB, Lockers, or compare numbers. Nope don't do that at the gatherings.

BTW, this isn't the first one of these.

If you wind up with a low far flight over, holler, and I'll find a cot for you. Friend from England made to the states a few months ago and the expensive part was parking his car at the airport while he was here. Airlines are giving some flights away his was like $150 each way. Goofy flight times, but hey the price was right. But, you'd have to suffer with my poor house keeping LOL
