    I actually think NAM started planning for the tent long before I did. That said, I didn't know they were doing this until after I started the process. It almost was canceled since I my plan for being there the entire week was destroyed by a business conference I need to attend/present at.... :( something has to pay the bills for hosting the site. :rolleyes: Thanks to @Goldsmithy and @MCS02 they kept the dream alive with the tent.

    Probably not, from what I understand all their moderators and admins have changed..

    I imagine folks will be going between both since many folks are members of both.

    Hmmm, that looks like the Helmet is parked in the "designated vendor parking" . . . . . .

    Agreed - and yes we can do my place if that works or some place in the middle.. we should get together and run the loop (60, 129, 180). :)

    I wasn't familiar with that... looked it up. That looks like a great road. 32 Miles and 438 curves... We have to plan for that one!

    Disappointed. 233/247 at the wheel. I think my waste gate is fluttering because it starts, for lack of a better description, farting at around 5K. Not real sure about the dyno either because they said as of late Saturday the highest hp they'd registered was 240. Also on the 2.0 the torque figures are usually separated by a lot more than that. My iPad took a crap and I couldn't log the runs so sometime I need to log a few runs and send them to ByteTronik and see what they think.

    Don’t forget the dyno was at over 1,895 feet above sea level and I bet it was not calibrated correctly to account for the altitude. Yes I checked the altitude at the dyno while I was at Fontana.

    My place in the burbs is only 340 ft above sea level.

    A TON of non-vendors were parking in that area so Lee is justified in parking there, too, since he represents M/A!.

    Agreed - technically he got a vendor badge since he helped set up the tent with @Goldsmithy .. :D
