Immediately after our event, we will be holding a Dyno shoot out at APS in Shakopee. (3136 130th St. W Shakopee MN 55379). $40 for 3 pulls on their 2wd Dynojet. There will be food, drink and music at APS.

We are also very happy to announce that Todd Zuccone from Evolution Motorsports in Tempe AZ ( www.evoms.com ) will be there joining us and tuning european cars with their own Evomsit software. Check their website for your application and pricing ( www.evomsit.com ) Evolution Motorsports will be prividing a 10% discount off all tuning during this weekend. Please contact me for more details/reservations.
