Spent the day yesterday touring the Lingenfelter Buildings and checking out the new Engine Build Facility where cars and coffee will be held. Easy location right off the expressway, some incredible things going on there Tim Horton's will be sponsoring the entire season so lots of Donuts
A few pics below, imagine my surprise seeing Firetruck at Engine Build The 2 Vettes at the bottom barely missed the sink hole disaster, returning home 2 weeks prior....

WOW-- really cool Deb! That's build facility is really close to my work. I'm just a few miles down the road in Plymouth If I visit the build facility in May, I'm affraid my pocket book will be empty--- that LE 710 kit looks to be in my future Before it was an excuse not to drive to IN, now I have none since they are soooooo close.

Looks like 40 degrees for Friday-- it's a start of a warm up

It's going to be huge. It's every Saturday, May through September. There's quite a few really cool things in the works, ranging from big local car clubs, to local dealerships!

Sweet! Ya, today I meet a few of the guys at the Lingenfelter booth at Autorama. I'm thinking of a plan for more BA also, just not sure if I want to go ARH catless headers or not with the 710 kit. The car is quick enough, not enough traction as is, but the extra 50-60hp sounds very enticing.

I might have---forgot the names. I beleive Matt was one of the guys I talked to. All were pretty cool

One of guys was in sales- I was asking if they installed the kits at the new facility yet, but he said they are working on it and just setting up the place. I was suppose to talk to a "Jeff" I think who knew more about the ZR1 technical stuff, but he was away at the time. I planned on returning back to the booth later, but we didn't have time.

For right now Kristen said to contact the Decatur facility for questions and scheduling for Wixom Once the transition is complete there will be more local people accessible
