Adam, so we'll meet at Starbucks Auto Mall at 9AM if it's not raining?

Also will Oliver do some tuning on the spot or not?

I don't plan to put race gas on my car, especially if Oliver will do some tuning on the spot.... I could only get 91 on regular days and would like to optimize my car on 91, not 93, not 100.

Seems Saturday is good.... 0% precipitation

Now it's only a matter whether the track dries on time or not.

Adam:
No problem... will be at Euroelites at 8.45AM then. BTW, I may leave as soon as our time slot is over and not go back to Fremont... unless you want to stuck w/ me all night or want to take Amtrak , you may want to find someone to drive you back home.

Jon:
I just realize there are 2 starbucks on Auto Mall.

Let's meet at the one on Christy St. - next to Bassett, Premier Pizza, Carter's (first complex on your left).

Just call Adam if you're not sure where

Anyone else coming to Starbucks? SLK55R?

Jon, you wouldn't mind dropping off our beloved Adam if I can't, would you?

Adam, is Oliver coming? Is he going to tune on the spot if needed?
