Sorry guys,

This time we wont have time to filll up 20 gallons of race fuel for the trip. I am extremely busy in the office.

There's one station in San Jose/Alamaden expressway that sells 100 octane.

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.

Jon:

Just call Adam if you're not sure where
