At Expo '09 I won a tuning session with Jack from the raffle. Unfortunately, my car will be going into storage for awhile, and I'm pretty friggin' far from him anyway. Consequently, I'm holding a mini-raffle to give it away again. I've ok'd it with him, and I'll notify him of the winner when the time comes. Some crucial requirements to win this:

1. I don't care what kind of car it is.
2. Car must either have seen or will see the track/autox/rallyx at least once.
3. That's it.
Edit: 4. You have to go to Jack, in South Carolina. http://www.p1auto.com/

I'm cross-posting this in a couple places, so if you read it on multiple threads put your name in only one of them. You could be sneaky and put multiple usernames, but that would just be a dick move I'm putting my trust in you all not to do that

To keep this relatively organized, whoever wants in just start a list in this thread, like this:

1. Your mom
2. etc.

Good luck!
I'll pick the winner next Friday.

 

Jack who?? CA

 

Jack harris. OG east coast honda guy (think street driven h1 car, h1 champ)
Btw-im in

Lo-buk

 

Jack is in South Carolina. You'd have to drive out there, but...

 

oh ok, I removed myself from the list.

 

is this an on track tuning session? or an evaluation of your car and things you could do to improve it?

Basicly I'd just like to know what is all involved in it.

 

Engine tuning, on a dyno. He does other work (which you might be able to negotiate with him, I have no idea), but the "coupon" is specifically for engine tuning.

 

Jack has been around forever, that speaks volumes in this world!

However, I cant make the trip to SC

 

Put me on the list....

1. ShagNastyEK9 - Jason street driven, caged, full suspension, no frills, k20, track monster, Time Trials, Honda Challenge soon, needs good tune pretty bad

 

im in

 

Drove his EG hatchback to the track, dominated and drove it home.

 

Back in 05 I took my 94 miata with jackson racing supercharger over to P1 for some tuning. I lived in charlotte at the time.

I was referred to P1 by Jackson Racing themselves. Apparently there arent many shops approved to be "experts" by Jackson Racing, so I got lucky to find one so close.

My problems were massive hesitation on tip in of throttle at anything under 5K rpm and an insanely loud supercharger belt squeal on cold start up...along with belt slippage once rpm's reached 6K or so.

I left the car with them with instructions to fix at all/any cost. A few days later I get the call to come pick it up.

Go to get it and they tell me they couldnt figure out the hesitation problem (cant remember what it was they said they tested/ran diagnostics on) and they simply tightened up the supercharger belt (it was already tight). Paid them and left with the exact same car I had when I dropped it off.

Never went back to them again.

Assumably they tune honda's better than miata's...

 

Wouldn't it be funny if I won, Jack could dyno tune his old H1 car again.
BTW, I'm not entering, I'm too far away.

Lo Buk = winnAr! I'll PM you details later on tonight, Spence.

 

heheheheh. cool.

 

what?! done already.. i didnt even get a chance

 

You're three weeks late dude. Plenty of opportunity there

 

Let me know when you head down. I'll coordinate with Yack and maybe we can work on burning Charlotte down to the ground.

 

Will do. Probably won't be till spring once I change a couple things. How much farther is jack from vir?

 

Get in touch with Jack and see if he might be able to tune your car when he finishes up Ryans. That way you could just caravan down there with Ryan.

 

~2.5 hours

 

woohoo! 11.5 hour road trip
