Thanks a lot guy! It was a great weekend, I had a lot of fun and it was nice to me you all. I didn't know what kind of people you were, so it was a good thing to me you. When I first arrive, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be there, but this feeling passed quickly. 8)

A special thanks to Dale for his hospitality. It was appreciated! :wink:

As for Matt... I'm not sure that I like you anymore. That was a bad thing to do to me. :evil: Now, because of you, I am a boostaholic! I'm addicted to this new sensation! :oops: Nah, Thanks a lot man! I really enjoy it! :lol: I can't believe that a simple trick like that can be so efficient! Not only I loss the feeling that I'm towing a trailer since I'm in the mountain, it have extra power and better: a better fuel consumption! I was going faster than when I went to Calgary, enjoying every second of boost I could and still got a better fuel milleage on my return trip! :D Thanks again! Next time I'll want something, I'll just make sure that we're not in a hurry and I'll get dirty myself! :wink:

(edit: I should read myself before posting... :oops: )

I agree
I had a great time, so did Cassie amazingly.

Thank you Dale, Beth, Ben and Tyler for putting up with us again. And thanks for helping with my dad late Friday night guys.

We got home safe. Almost had an encounter twice with deers. Got home at 11. So a 12 hour drive again.

Had a great time. Makes me wish I moved to Calgary instead....

It was great to see everyone again and to finally meet Steph. Always happy to help out with accomodations when we can... Good to hear you made it home safely, Jordan. I trust Geoff did too but he's probably catching up on some lost sleep still...

I had a great time. The dyno day was a great time. I found it to be interesting and educational although I'm still a little puzzled by some of the numbers but whatever... I found out what I wanted to, about my car, and that's that my afr is ok and K-jet is doing its thing properly...

The drive yesterday was a blast although we could have done with a little less traffic on the road west of Bragg Creek. Still, the short blast after we turned around was enough to get the adrenaline pumping, right Steph? :wink: Good job to Geoff who rescued Ricky's cell phone after it and Ricky parted company ay 160km/h :D

All in all, a great time. Looking forward to the August trip. For comparison sake, the Duffy Lake Road is 2 hours of road like that short blast we had after we turned around only the hills are steeper and the corners are tighter...

8)

2 hours of that... man.

I had a lot of fun. I was pretty anxious on Saturday morning, and I'll be draining my oil this afternoon 'cause I can't stand the suspense, but overall I was quite happy with the experience. The cruise on Sunday was a lot of fun, too bad it had to be so short for some of you, and completely nonexistant for others.

It was great to see Jordan, Cassie, Martin, Geoff, and Greg again - I really wish we all lived as close as Dale & I do, but it's nice to see you as often as we do. Thanks for making the trip! Also thanks to Steph for making the trip - it was great to meet you too.

I'm really looking forward to the Raz/Vza video compilation!

I'm crossing my fingers! Tonya and I are certain your engine is as happy as it sounds! :-)

I had a freaking awesome weekend guys, SO much fun!

You know it! I arrived home at about 12:15 lastnight, so not too late.

I had a blast once again guys.. Getting a chanced to see Race City on a regular street night was cool for me.. I couldn't believe the number of cars!

Big thanks to Vik who let me crash at his place, and phone him numerous times about meeting up in Calgary/race city.. and all the rest. The type of guy to give me his bed and takes the couch?! It was awesome to meet you Vik.

The dyno day was another new thing for me.. now I realize how much of a tuning tool it really is. Glad most of us got a crack at doing it, I already can't wait to get my 242 on a dyno to see how bad I suck at tuning it. :D

The rest of the weekend (BBQ, supper at Dales, cruise) a blast as expected. Thanks Dale and Family for putting up with as at your place, no thank you for making me want a 122.

Nice to put a few more names to faces, steph and Greg.. awesome you guys made the trip out as well! As to the rest of you Calgary guys, great to meet most of you. Like Jordan says makes you wish you were in Calgary. All a great bunch! Can't wait to see you in August :D

Good news and bad news on that.

The bad news is that I'm going to forget how to pull this engine in less than an evening, and I'll be losing that ever present intimacy that comes with constant engine yanks and drops.

The good news? You have to ask? :D

I'm home! Laura and I got back at about 5:30, after hanging out with my parents in Calgary for a bit.

Yeah, I had a blast this weekend, even without my car! Just want to say thanks to Matt and Roberta for putting me up for two nights. I just came to Calgary thinking I'd sleep in the 760 or something, but yeah, Matt offered right away! Thanks Matt and Roberta! The food was great, as was the conversation, and of course, the mad V8 power! I've never giggled so much during a car ride in my life! Thanks Matt! Oh yeah, and congrats on the oil....relief!

Also thanks to Dale and co. for having us over at his place. Good times. It was great to finally meet Geoff, Cassie, Vik, and Steph. Its pretty cool when you can meet people you talk to over the information-superhighway, and they're all really cool. Good to see you Jordan again as well.

Vik, I can't wait for your comp video!

Next meet, I'll be sporting some Turba Powa!

Greg

It's the shape near the top end - lots of timing being pulled for some reason or another, plus the bottom end isn't as strong as it should be.
