BTW this is the first time I have had to tune an engine from nothing. No stock calibration. Its a lot more time than I thought. Even simple things like getting it to start when its 70 degrees vs 200 degrees.
Then tune it on the trans brake, that you know nothing about
Then tune it for drivability then WOT thats the easy stuff
My neighbors love me heeee!

Is there a "plan B", like meet in a bar somewhere if it rains?

Looking at the weather radars, it looks like one nice cluster thats near milan right now and should easily blow north by 3-4pm..... don't think it will be much of a issue"

UPDATE 1:30PM Just got off the phone with the track, and right now the storms are moving through Milan area. I will check in with the track around 3PM to see what the conditions are like. Hopefully they will be able to prepare the track in time to start running at 6PM!
Please check back around 3:15PM for the latest update
Thanks

it is 2:25 here in milan and it has not rained for a little while. The sun is not out yet but the ground seems to be drying out a bit. I am hoping this will all go as planned. I will probably only bring a few cars and unfortunatly I think the Vette may have to stay in the showroom. I do look forward to meeting you all and showing you guys what we can do out here!
Thanks again,
Al
