Finally have had mine out a couple times. Heater core seems leak free, a/c held a 20" vacuum before I filled it, intake gasket leaks seem better, water injection kit is finished, manual boost controller plumbed to give me the ability to run more boost without having to do wastegate spring changes.
As a local I agree, the forecast is suspect. Not till friday night would I start to trust it.
I may not be able to be up there until close to noon and threat of rain won't stop me. Consistent or heavy rain before departure might. Whenever Power Tour came this way last time the car took on water in Campaign IL when a truly nasty storm came through. Passenger floorboard and trunk were soaked. It was around 10pm and I should have gone back out and hunted for an empty car wash bay to wait it out (as others did).

At about 1PM we are going to set up to do the group pic,,
all should plan to make it...
Want to also try to get a pic of each car with the driver/owner
right after the group pic...
Lets show those east coast boys how it is done...

I will not be attending. Bad timing on my end, I am in the process of moving and have just too much on my plate right now to road trip down there

Today is the day we have been waiting for. The storm clouds have moved out, and the so has the rain. Forecast is calling for partly cloudy skys, with a mix of sun, and highs around 74. Perfect!!
I'm looking forward to meeting everyone today, and hope everyone has a great time.

@furious70, sorry that I missed you and did not get to meet a few others either. Had to leave right when you headed out to Volo. Bummer, but family comes before cars—no matter how nice they and their owners are.

Thanks Tim/guys for organizing this event. Glad I could take part to some of it. Great organization, great weather (!), great cars... and most importantly great people. Look at @cbarge, who came all the way from Canada yet still found the time to come along with Wyatt, Nick and myself to make adjustments to Medina!
