Looks like we're coming up for the last race at Stead. I think we'll make the trip up Friday night, cause SM goes out first group on Saturday. Yeaaaa, 4000ft... my N/A car is gonna be anemic. Guess I'll just have to push it even harder through the corners to make up for it.

The above list that Art posted, plus now the MM coil-overs with 325lb/in front / 275lb/in rear springs & re-valved Bilstein struts/shocks, C&L 76mm MAF, and I keep fiddling with the ride heights & front end alignment. Still haven't installed the new intake manifold that's sitting in my garage.

Alright....still have to confirm, but THANK YOU to anyone letting me/my friends stay the night. I dont care if its a cold floor, if its got a roof, and heater im all for it! Only quesiton is if we run in the AM, will there be a way we can get back to the house to pick up our stuff to drive back (since I dont wanna have a backpack or 2 of stuff sitting out at the auto-x).


Ill also probably go to the drag's and may race (oh well...no time slips). I just wanna make this a good weekend of car beating before I baby her

You guys will probably all be staying at my place unless Ben gets back to me. Yes it has a floor and a heater. I also have a code pad to get in my garage, so you will be able to get into my house without a key to get your stuff before you leave. Here is my cell number again - 240-7643 if you need anything in advance.

Scott, do you have room at your place for Laura and me to crash this weekend?

Sergio - I don't really know how much power the car is making since I've never had it on a dyno... the 302 is rated stock 215hp/285lb*ft at the flywheel... as just a wild assed guess (WAG) I'd say it's about 240-250hp/300lb*ft now based on what other people with similar configurations are making.

We'll have a SECCS tent or two setup at the autoX and plent of trustworthy people around holding down the camp while we're out racing. Plus I've never heard of anything being stolen at a Reno event... 'course this time there's gonna be all these big-city Sacramento folk around... Leaving your bags out while you're racing isn't too big of a deal. They'll just be stacked up amongst the tools, spare tires, jacks, and coolers!

Alright...for me it would probably just be easier if I can stay at Arthur's house. Its closer to I-80 so I wont be backtracking if I leave my stuff at the house and go back after the auto-x to pick it up.

If this is cool, thanks a TON.

Scott's dozing off and not posting....

Here is the updated thread on NASIOC -

http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...hreadid=427097

There is plenty of room as mentioned. Most people are going to be staying at Ben's I would think since its so close to Stead airport. My house is open too.

No problem man. Just give me a holler before you get into Reno if you have trouble finding it. Its pretty easy though.
