@ Struttin - dude, that sucks.
were I in your shoe's I'd be crashing at a buddies place... or spending the whole freaking day in a mall - then coming home with a space heater, closing my bedroom door with said space heater on (in a safe place) with plenty of blankets on...
yuck...

Formula 1 is extemely intresting... provided you consider motorsports more than driking beer on top of an RV and hoping for crashes.
I'm sure there are some skilled drivers in Nascar, but the car control required to drive an F1 car fast is pretty unreal.

Besides like u just said. RBR is a big money player. They are obviously going to go out and get the best driver. If they wanted they could get tony Stewart and I can guarantee you he would drive for them in f1. And no turning left isn't harder than turning both directions unless you consider the fact that drivers probably get bored which would make it harder to do 250 laps. And if NASCAR and IRL didn't line them up and do a restart every time someone touched it would be just as spread out as F1. F1 let's the drivers race.

hahhaah you are still alive up in sylvan hahahah.... i promise you if f1 was the place to be you wouldnt have open wheel drivers becoming cup drivers.... i bet vettle ends up in a cup car before his career is over and he wont end up to much.... hahahahahah ok ok ok i watch both and i dont mind f1 lol but honestly you will never see a tie at the end of the season in f1.... thats my point.... and to have the final 2 guys running first and second during the final laps was amazing..... you will never see a racing series have a finish like that unless its cup.... i think if the governing body of nascar ran f1 then maybe we might have some awsome racing.... you have to give the rednecks some credit man.... thats was a great finish to a great season..... also give tony some credit man he has won a championship in everything he has driven.... including open wheel....

Jon did you ever get a revision of the last tune after we did that datalog. I'm in Calgary all of this week so it would make sense for me upload it if it exists lol
I will admit F1 sucked back in the day. But CART existed during that period which was great racing. Even cars turning right lol. And the cars they drove were only a bit slower than F1 i think like 8 or 14 seconds slower per lap arounc montreal. But they merged and continued to use the shitty slow cars of IRL

Will how long is all of this week? Meaning Saturday too? I'm coming to Calgary on Thursday and will be there until at least Sunday.
I'm thinking a cobalt/honda(just for you mark) meet on Saturday at like 6:00PM or 7:00PM? Tim Hortons, or I'm open to other ideas too.

Y not. I've driven through guaranteed worse at a worse time. Ive done the drive in winter from panorama to fernie at that hour through the worst snow storm I've seen. I remember having to do like 20 down a steep hill on the edge of a cliff near kimberley lol couldn't see the guard rail or anything during parts. Nothing makes u feel more alive driving in terrible conditions were you could die at any moment. In fact I'd prefer doing that drive again over taking my car to a track lol so much more interesting.

lately, I'm often hanging out with my niece & nephew (oh yeah, and my brother and sister-in-law 
) on friday...
if that's the plan, we're going to have to play it by ear...
@Will... ??? - I thought we were good? - maybe you can refresh my memory if there was anythign to update...
after I send datalogs, they are reviewed, and tweaked as required...
the most recent 'update' for you looks to have been downloaded on the 21st of October... which I think was before you're last visit (that was the 3rd one btw)...
@ Jordan;
this one's for you;

Not really. I just knew we did datalog last time and I was in town lol. If he did do changes now would be an ideal time to upload changes. I would say its fine tho aS the car is running good. Plus we did datalog after I changed the o2 sensor and I wasn't sure if anything needed changing since the old revisions were based of my car when i had mechanical problems.

I know - isn't it awesome!
he has some great videos...
@ Will - IMHO it's always a good idea to datalog;
IIRC Vince told me it looked good.
When you wnat ot change something - then we'll go through it again.
