Someone may have posted this before though I didn't get a hit when I did a search.

I was looking for some articles Lars had posted, did a search on the internet. Came up with his name on Wikipedia. He seems to have become a celebrity...

That's pretty sweet.

A lot of accomplishments and dedication there! Very cool!

But does he put his pants on one leg at a time?

And, he's a quality human being.
We are so jealous.

The Wiki listing appeared shortly after a correspondent for the New York Times attended the 2006 Detroit "Tuning for Beer World Tour" Corvette Seminar Series. The Times published a full-page article in their Auto section a few months later, and the extract can be found here:

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/05/au...es/05LARS.html

Over the course of the Tuning for Beer World Tour, we visited 17 cities in the US, Canada and Europe, while I managed to stay employed in my aerospace job...

Be sure you do not download or use any of my articles you find posted on the Internet. I don't post any of my articles, and those posted by others are outdated, obsolete and often altered - don't use them. Request my articles directly from me via e-mail request. I even have some articles with some of the tuning methods used on the Tuning Tour Seminars.

Lars, are you still tuning for beer?

Came for the car, stayed for the people!

We are fortunate to have Lar's knowledge and expertise available to us here on the forum.

That's great. I am a proud member of the "Tuning For Beer" alumni.

Both my '72 & myself were in attendance of the Detroit 2006 tour where my car got the "treatment". This came on the heals of a complete rebuild of my carb & a recurve of my distributor by Lars. That carb performs flawlessly to this day.

You can also do a search for Mr. Lars on Google at.

Have not met the man, but have driven two of the cars he has reworked the carbs on.

The guy knows his stuff and has many talents.

I would have loved to have experienced the tour. Let us know if you ever go on tour again!

And have you visited Charlotte NC?

Better yet come to Alaska and do a tuning for fish tour! You tune we fly you out to fish.......

Jim Shea

A true legend in his time.

In this pic, Lars has wheeled his engine dyno around so that the exhaust is pointed out of his "Viking Bar and Corvette Garage" and is serenading his neighbors on his court. Note the "one-handed" tuning trick.

sounds like you need your website....

While conducting his "tuning for beer" seminars, not only did he remain employed in the aerospace industry, he also remained married!

Also, I am aware that Lars has also provided "trans shipping" assistance on several occasions on Corvette parts to out of country Vette owners.

Quite an engineer and a gentleman.

Lars is a true enthusiast, expert and mentor. Here's a shot from the Seattle leg of his tuning for beer tour. He's all about "teaching a man to fish".

Not many people left on the planet that know how to tune carbs & dizzys the way this man does. His pleasure is making sure there are others out there who get the same enjoyment out of making these old beasts run to their full potential. And if you've ever taken a post-tune test drive with Lars behind the wheel, you'll know what I mean! Too much fun!
