All I Know is that C street is not the place to be doing WOT DAtalogs. I would rather go to the highway and meet up in CArrs in Omaly.
Again we need to have a meet here pretty soon to discuss these things.

The hampton Inn location is close to C street, minnesota highway, and old seward highway. In addition, close to the airport where there are a few side roads with a good stretch of straight lines. Also, on old seward there is frontage road which tends to have less traffic during all hours. The Hampton Inn is where Al will be staying and is centralized to all above streets.

Al, if you are looking for something cheaper as far as Hotel stay, let me know.
K, told me around what you may be paying. There is another location that will charge you cheaper and I can check into it for you, and the location isn't that far from the original Hampton Inn choice.

Aren't these guys setting up time slots?? I am in Iraq so the sooner I know what day I need to have the car there for a BASE flash then the easier it is for me to get it set up to be there. I would hate to miss it after paying for it because of someone elses poor planning. Thanks. Kevin Clark

There is no poor planning. You're getting paranoid. All you have to do is get your car there on either of the tuning days. The dates have already been discussed, and the time doesn't matter - it's just a base flash.

No your right it's not. Obviously you didn't read my whle post because you only commented on the last sentence. So let me refrase this. I need a time to be set so I can have someone in Alaska drive my car to where the tunning is going on. They have a life other than hangging around to get a base flash. Since I am in Iraq I am not available to drive my own car there and wait for a free minute, or hour or however long it may take. So if a time could be set I can tell that someone that they need to be their for the alotted time period to have the work done and leave.
I hope you have not taken my organizational needs for being an ***. So all I am asking is that as the schedules for tunning fill up if someone could post a time for my EVO to be thier it would be nice. Again don't forget I am in Iraq and don't have all that much access to the net. As I am packing up to come home.
So let me pose the question again in a different manner. Could an EVO owner in Alaska let me know a time slot to be thier once the tunning schedule is completed? It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Kevin Clark

I still don't understand. Base flashes don't get timeslots. You just show up and get tuned. Everyone else getting a base flash does the same thing. So your buddy may have other things to do - well so does everyone else waiting to get tuned. If you want a custom tune with a specific timeslot, then leave a deposit for one. Otherwise, you just show up during the regular tuning hours to get a base flash, which is always done when Al is between cars or has a free minute. Sometimes, you have to wait for him to finish what he's doing, but you don't just wait all day.
Badevo, you have nothing to do with this, so need to comment. He has no need to be acting like this and can easily get tuned without freaking out about time slots. It's the same for everyone who gets a base flash and has been for 3 years.
I don't see how another Evo owner in Alaska is going to tell you when to show up when they have no idea. Timeslots are only for custom tunes. Base flashes are done in between custom tunes. The timing is almost never exactly on the hour despite the schedule, so you just have to show up and wait your turn. Al knocks out the base flashes quickly between custom tunes. Not even the custom tuned people who PAY FOR THE TRIP with their deposits get to know EXACTLY when they'll get tuned or EXACTLY how long it will take. They show up when it's their timeslot, and if Al is ready, they get tuned. If he's still doing the previous tune, then they wait. A simple base flash does not take priority in terms of timing over a custom tune. I understand you're in Iraq, but that doesn't mean the person bringing your Evo can't wait a little while. Plus, if you just mailed the ECU in, no one would wait for anything or waste any time, and you'd get the same tune. You have multiple choices.

As clay has said the base flash customers usually hang out talk wityh other evo owners and we have like a mini car meet going all day when I am tuning
No one has complained about having to wait too long for a base flash to date

Thanks
We will just keep it at the Hampton Inn as with all the business I do with them they usually wont hassel me about cars comming by all day when they discover I am a diamonds elite hilton honors holder. This is why I always stay in those facilities with their 100% money back guarantee I usually leave 100% satisfied and I am at a Hampton Inn more than I am at my home. In this case the price is outrageous but the air fare is also obscene on this trip, I am going this adventure just to be able to say I was in Alsaka and to help spread the good works of Dyno Flash.
Thanks - Al
