NOAA is still saying chance of snow/rain, but it's down from 40% to 30%, and you know that means it probably ain't gonna happen. Channel 2 says the crap won't hit till Thursday. Will likely be cold and windy though, but cold is good! So unless things change drastically I plan to be there around 3:30. Hope to get in half a dozen runs or so. I've got three CMR tunes I'd like to compare. Maybe 2 or 3 runs per.

So who else is in?

you're going to compare tunes? dont you need to give your rig time to relearn the new tunes before comparing?

I'm not so sure of that. A CAI or cat-back, yeah I think so. CAI definitely. A tune? I'm not convinced. I loaded my first tune and instantly went across the street to my test spot. Engine had barely warmed up. ;) I pulled my best 0-60 ever! I was told to drive it for 100 miles or so, but I didn't notice any difference. Current tune I put about 20 miles on it. I was told no problem go log it. Plus your tweaks at the track didn't need to adjust. So I think if anything needs to be learned, it's DD duty, though you couldn't prove it by me. WOT is pretty much instant according to Diablo. What's to learn?

So I guess I'll find out the hard way... :rolleyes: Are you coming?

We also need to talk about group rates with Lucas. If we can get more interest. I'm sure there are a couple of others that would be down for that. I'll pester them till they are... LOL!

the only thing i adjusted were my fans at Bandi, Jeep was running way too hot. i wont be there, i work on Wed til 10pm.

we can talk to Lucas about group rates. i'm sure he wouldn't mind some more biz. i need to figure out what i'm going to do first, don't want to get a dyno tune until i get my parts in.

We'll see how it goes... Maybe you can make it next time. I'll try not to rush the gate again, but without my scout leader... LOL!

I was thinking of forgoing the dyno tune and just do some pulls for now. Johan says all he needs is the A/F data from the dyno to dial me in. He also said do it on a Superflow, and that's Lucas.

So what you got coming?

Bummer! Well it's every Wednesday night, so we'll meet up there eventually.

It would be cool to get a large group of Jeeps together and invade the place.

If this is every wed night, I would love to go. Do you guys meet up and drive together? I'd def. be down for that. If I still do not have a job by next WED, I will most likely be there. If you start a new thread on it I'll post in there and maybe we can plan a meet up before?

What is needed to raise? Cost? Helmet required - I do not own one? How much are helmets?

Thanks,
JD

Yeah it's every Wed night. The Colorado State Patrol sponsors the "Take It To The Track" night, but it's really just a Test and Tune with some cops running down the track sometimes. This past Wed was cool because there were regular patrol cars from Lakewood, Aurora, and other surrounding police depts. They were running each other, though I kept trying to horn in and run one. ;) Seems everyone shows up at different times, so probably best to meet up in the pits (top level of facility). Just look for the Jeeps. It's $30 for participants, $10 for spectators, and $5 for helmet rental. You won't need a helmet unless you run 13.99 or faster. We'll have to see how the weather is. Looks like possible snow Mon and Tues...
