Thanks to everyone involved in making this happen.

Lance, thanks for hosting I'm planning to be there. Mike
I will try to make it as soon as possible in the afternoon. I am umpiring at a Loyola Marymount tournament that day, but luckily I have the 2 early games. So if my last game is finished by 12:30 or so, I will race over to Lance's place. I will plan to bring my '08 ACR. See you there!!
Sorry, will miss this one, skiing every possible weekend until season ends. No viper in the snow however, Yukon Denali XL with Bridgestone snows is the only way.
Lance,
Ruth and I are looking forward to the Tech Day. Thanks for the use of your facility.
I'm ready to get to work =20!
Nino
I should have my 6 point harness by then; any chance of gettign help with the install during this event?
"I should have my 6 point harness by then; any chance of gettign help with the install during this event?"
Hey Carlos,
Yes, I'd guess that we can help you with this. I've installed three sets in SRT's now.
I always removed the seats first - makes the install easier.
Bring some tools.
Dan
OGO will have his torque wrenches >1
OGO O> O> O>
See you Saturday
Lance,
Thanks for hosting it again. I will be back form Scotland on Friday and planning to attend the Self Tech session.
I also signed up for the Viper Days and will be joining your caravan on Friday.
Mike F
That is GREAT Mike !
We are going to have a great time <2
Hey Lance,
We've printed some track maps, Buttonwillow race #13 and I have some G2X (Data logger) info from BW that I think the group might enjoy seeing.
Is there a room at your place where we could set up a projector (like at the Christmas Party)?
Dan
Lance,
I'm planning on being there, however; I have to leave around 1:00 pm - getting the clear bra installed at 2:00 pm in Upland in time for Viper Days.
Thanks,
Scott

I've got a screen, so just bring your projector.
I wanna see the SPIN ! >w
Hey Lance,
Spent some time going through my track data today and found the BW spin. It was on the first complete lap, first session in the morning. Air temps were in the high 30's. Not conducive to high speed turns. Should help our guys understand the "cold track / cold tire scenario." Caught some serious flack from NASA.
Also loaded a 2:06 lap at BW run clockwise the same weekend in my GTS on Toyo's. I think the group will be surprised by the G forces recorded. Manny was chasing me - but couldn't catch me in his Honda.
Finally, loaded a few 1:34 laps in the GTS on Toyos from Willow Springs if there is any interest.
Hoping for good weather,
Dan <2
Hi Lance, I will be there and thank you and Dave for hosting tech days,you guys will make it fun Eddie.

Absolutely - This is a rain or shine event!
Yep, rain or shine, right Lance?
His shop is plenty big to hold all or our cars!!!!.....or at least all of us.

Contrary to the urban legend, vipers will not disintegrate if rained on. Hearst Castle anyone? <2
Rain or shine, I will be here !
Wear something warm as it has been quite chilly out in the shop.
Rain forecast is slowly going away ..... let's hope it stays away ..... for a while.
ACR makes really cool vapor trails in the rain, kinda like rooster tails. Have to see it to believe it.

This came from the VCA site....

ACR is at DC today getting headers, Mopar race computer and K & N filter.
Should be a monster, approaching 700 hp and sounding like it too!
