Default Lars in Virginia

We are trying to put a Tuning For Beer 2-day session together the weekend of MAY 21

One of us has been corresponding with Lars (Thank you Lars!) and so we would like to put together an email distribution list to stay connected outside of the forum.

Not2New72 has graciously offered up his garage in NoVA for this event – thanks Roy!!

If you are interested please send your email address to me at:
mike@horowitz-family.com so I can add you to the email list
. We will send you the guidelines to make sure Lars will work on your carb, etc.

We would like to limit this to 8 cars over 2 days
We will be collecting money to get Lars out here soon (probably through paypal or something)
Here is who we have so far at least showing interest:

Yup, watch and drink. It would be hard to get my '74 to NoVA given that I'm in the middle of ripping out the rear suspension. Test driving it might be tough too.....

But I'd up for the fun and games with other people's Vettes, just ask theandies.

Roy lives in NoVa - I think Herndon or Oakton - cant remember.

Even if you guys want to just hang out or take pics, pls send me your email so I can keep you in the loop - too hard to watch a thread for 3 months - want to take it offline..
Thanks! Mike

May's good but I need a firm date to know for sure. Depending where in NoVA this is I may or may not be able to drive the vette. I've never driven it that far and may require a chase truck I'm totally down for it tho. I will IM you the email.

Email sent, I forgot to mention, the only work I need (...well it needs alot of things!) but all I plan to have done is carb tuning. (BG 750) Will probably bring a few odds and ends just incase we need to fill any time

Vacuum modulator seems to have failed, but that'll be squared away by this weekend.

Ok folks, looks like we have plenty of interest - enough for 8 cars, 2 days and at least another 5 to just hang out.
I will send an email with the guidelines tonight after I compile everything. Thanks for the quick responses and consider this post "locked down" - taking it offline!
Thanks!
Mike
