Tools are in the Tuning for Beer Toolbox and all parts are in my bags - I'm heading to the airport after lunch... do you guys have the beer on ice..?

We'll start a new thread here on the Forum once we get the tuning started and a few pictures taken... watch for the post and be part of the fun if you can't be in Chicago this weekend!

It's gonna be WILD!!!! The smell of high pollution exhaust vapors, alcohol burning owners, hot rod songs playing in the background, and lots of chips and nuts (per Eddie's instruction, I am stocking up tomorrow). Plus it will ALL be recorded for posterity. I may also bring my digital camcorder and I can transfer from tape to CD playable on DVD players.

I will come to visit Sat. I would bring my Demon carb for a tweak, but I am sure Lars will be swamped.

I can bring down some digital cameras if needed, Eddie-P fix your darn 'puter you fool or do I need to fix that while I am there?

It's Friday morning and we're heading out to get some breakfast just before the Chicago Tuning for Beer Tour - Oatmeal Stout is a breakfast beer, isn't it...? Sounds like we have a great group of people put together out here and I'm looking forward to tweaking a few of these cars!
