    Just talked to Colvin and they don't staff the dyno on Saturdays anymore. Maxwell Dodge's dyno is still broken (has been for a long time). I called every other dyno in Austin - Auto Tech, Classic Jaguar, UpRev, and ProTech. None of them operate on Saturdays EXCEPT ProTech.

    I made an appointment Saturday the 14th starting at 10am. Cost is $80 for 3 pulls. If you want to spend more time playing with tuning and what-not, they charge $200/hour, same as most places.

    I told him we would have 2-4 cars which he was fine with. There's no deposit involved so don't feel obligated if the timing doesn't work for you. OTOH, if you don't want to take a day off during the week, you don't have many alternatives.

    Kyle - does this work for you?

    I just got home today and have a lot of work to do to get the car ready. I'll be lucky to have everything done by the first race.

    Casey. Sounds good to me.

    I just need Dave to send me some 2012 stickers and log books and I am good to go.

    Anyone else?

    dang colvin.
    I'll be there barring any mechanical hold-ups.
    correction:
    the address you show is on McPhaul off of Lamar.
    the link shows protech body shop off howard.
    given you posted the addy, i assume the McPhaul address is the correct place?

    i just talked to a fellow at

    he said he's been speaking to Casey. however, he just now mentioned that he has a drop dead time of 11:20. Seems awful limited to me. So, if we have more cars we'll either need to start much earlier or figure a new date. If more than just us three i'm thinking there can be a time crunch esp if anyone needs to adjust to get their numbers dialed in.

    I can be there before 10:00 if they will start early. I will need an extra pull or two to adjust timing.

    Yeah, he called me this morning and said something came up that he has to leave by 11:30. At the time, Morgan and I were the only ones I knew of planning to go so I just said I'd show up at 9:00, get mine done and make sure Morgan had plenty of time. He sounded perfectly willing to start much earlier than 10 though. Sounds like we've got 4 confirmed cars now? I'll call him back tomorrow and see if we can start at 7...

    Yes, Morgan has the right address & phone number above.
