I might be down to see it. I'll be there to pick up my beast @FullBlown anyway.

Noooo, I like lazy Saturday mornings (Sunday too). Okay, I'll have brunch instead. We can talk OFT and I'll pick your brain a little. Now that I know where the Automotorplex is, it's a short 35 minute trip. Use to work out that way. I don't think it'll be 7:00, might leave here at 7:00.

I would like to see yours and chat. Spoke with the boys at FB and still debating what my little lady needs.

That would be sad. While I may not want another 1/4 miler, the boys at FB have the knowledge and impressed me when they were in Apple Valley. This little lady is awesome in a curve and I'm going to say that I'm more comfortable in her than on my bike (Concours S/T). Although, she could use a few more ponies, I'm more concern about the handling, but not going to forget the ponies. This platform is meant for serious performance and I welcome the future developments.

I just filled up with E85 for the first time. Holy cow I'm loving it! The engine is running smoother' and noticeably more power. It's even quieter which caused me to accidentally hit the rev limiter a couple times because I didn't realize how fast the revs were climbing.

Only issue I noticed is that the oil temp was running about 10-15F hotter, but that could be due to driving enjoyment.

E85 FTW!

For those of you looking for a semi-close track the US Air Motorsports Raceway was a lot of fun. Originally designed for go-karts makes the track a perfect size for the BRZ. It's about 4 hours away in Schwano, WI.

Anyone else going to RiceKillers tonight? Looks like it should be pretty nice, around 60 degrees.

If anyone local is interested in a set of power blocks I might be selling my very cheap. Never installed, I ordered them but I'm loving E85 and apparently they don't play well together.
