maybe since ive known cj for a while, i can go 1st....
in all honestly,
i say the order should be the order ones paid the deposit to be fair. the ones that already have the tune and just need tweaked would be last or depending on the timing go in between the new tunes and while they are running down the track?!?!

LoL Nick and I tried to get that in Pittsburgh but we couldn't gather up 10 people. It's a shame. Vince is a well known tuner so you guys better get 10 people.

Hi guys, I appreciate the sentiments about my situation. I will share with you what is going on.
Last summer, my wife injured her back (L4/L5 disc herniation). We didn't know what it was until around Thanksgiving when it got so bad she couldn't sleep at night any more. Around Christmas time we took the next step in treatment which was to have a cortisone injection in the back. Thankfully it looks like this has gotten her recovery back on track.
Disc injuries take 60-90 days to heal on their own, and we think the clock started around Christmas time. The reason we think it got so bad was despite injuring the disc she continued to do yard work, house work, going shopping at Costco (where everything is HEAVY) - simply because we didn't know what was going on.
So, I need to stay close to home so I can take care of her. I had hoped when I committed to coming to the Bash she would be well enough by the time the Bash came around that she could do without me for a few days. That may still happen, but I'm at the go/no-go decision now because I need to book airline tickets, etc. She's not really well enough yet, so I think the best thing I can do is stay here.
I'm sorry the situation is what it is, and I was looking forward to the event, and meeting everybody, but it's just not a good time for me to do so.
Having said all that, there's still an opportunity for people at the Bash to get our tuning. I have yet to talk to CJ about it, but he's a local dealer for us and was planning on attending the bash. If he can get an internet connection at the track, I can still email him tunes, and he can email me back data logs from the cars down there. I'd be willing to reserve out the entire day of the Bash, here, so if people want tuning / need tuning tweaks I can turn them around in a short amount of time (e.g. 10 minutes, etc).
I will talk to CJ about this and we'll let everybody know what we're doing. All deposits will be refundable at this point - if we are able to offer the tuning through CJ at the Bash, deposits can be applied to that, or refunded.

I know allot of you are going to be disappointed and it does suck since its looking like Vince won't make it, but you must look at it this way: CJ is a great guy and fun to be around and swap story's with. The way Vince has his tuning program set up it will be just like a custom tune because he will be able to look at your data log like he was there and get it back to CJ super fast (providing that we have a internet connection). If you still want to tune at the bash you won't be disappointed with the out come of what you get. I bet you will get the same tune with out with out Vince there. Don't back out just because of this. Lets just hope that CJ is down for this. Now if there is no internet connection we could do a bash pre-meet and every one can meet at a Starbucks or something right off the high way so we can do some data runs for Vince.
just wont be till may/june

yeah I'm just waiting for Beth from clear image to tell me the total so I can get my tuner, and get my car done, hopefully in two weeks. and I'm pretty sure CJ is going, he and shaggy got a 1st place mild/wild trophy to defend.
***personal update***
Beth just called, and gave me my total... gonna be 285. and I just sent them the cash, hopefully cj makes it to the bash.

Hey CJ the car is running great! I have been wanting to test out my MPG's to see if they have improved but I can't keep my damn foot off the floor, its just to much fun. Do you just want to wait to the bash to fix the 1st gear issue or do you want to get at it sooner so we have a better base for the other TC guys if any?
