I'd like to see some Evo's show up for the Forgeline or NASA event. Start saving up now
The Forgeline event will only have about 75 cars with 30-40 instructors and 3 groups...so there will be plenty of track time and plenty of instructors for anyone that wants/needs one.
Putnam is also a good track for those that have never done a DE before. Probably not as intimidating to most as Mid-O.

Not really no. It's a very informal event, I think last year there may have been more Evo's there than DSM's - and there was only 4 of us! I'll be sure to let everyone know when a date gets decided upon.

Well fellas it's timing belt time and I got a raging case of the "might as wells". I ordered up some new GSC S1 cams and ARP head studs. I'll probably grab some ARP rod bolts while I'm at it for peace of mind. I am going to toss my IX turbo on there too.

So where is the best place for timing and balance belts? I will likely go with factory belts and I'm wondering if any vendors sell them on the cheap.

AAAARRGGGGHHHH! ! ! !

FedEx broke my tranny casing. Shep will be replacing it thank goodness.

Nick,
Sorry I havn't gotten with you. Things have been busy with the house and family. I am sure you are getting a taste of that with your new little one. Hey, since you want to do your cams, I have room in my garage we can do both cars. I even have air tools if needed. We will just need your belt tool and a TQ wrench. Let me know if that sounds good to you.

I have a 5 car garage, but thanks for the offer.

I have a couple torque wrenches too if you need to borrow them. I'll PM you.

Yep, do you drive your car on the street much? I saw yours on the trailer the one time.

Not very often, probably less than 20 days this year.

I am trying to set up a CSS showdown at Tri State. We were going to do this weekend but they have a 3 day race and next weekend my Moms is in town. So it is looking like September 15th. I'll have to check their site and make sure they will be open and get the hours and everything. I have a couple grudge matches for my DSM and we are trying to set up some other grudge matches.

I'll post back when we figure everything out, but it should be a good time for everyone. I just realized Sept 15th is the Nasa championships, so I guess quite a few of you wouldn't be able to make it.
