Lets try this again boys and girls. Hopefully mother nature will play along this time.

Most of you already know the deal, but here it is again:

Fridays At The Shop - aka, F.A.T.S. is coming to Performance Autosport.

Starts @ 7:00pm, goes until 1 or 2am...whenever.

This coming Friday, September 24th.

What is F.A.T.S.?

- Overall, the whole idea of FATS is that I'm going to keep my shop open on select Friday nights so everyone can cruise in and hang out. I'm tired of being kicked out of places to hang and being hassled by police because of a few bad apples ruining the fun for all. It's going to be a way local car enthusiasts from around the area can get together with other car enthusiasts without being hassled by police or other unwanted guests. There are a few rules however, but nothing to be worried about. If you are a true car enthusiasts looking for a nice place to hang out and chat, you wont mind.

Whats allowed?

- The dyno here at Performance Autosport will be open to anyone. Being that we are in the middle of no-where, we can dyno all night if we want. For FATS nights, the normal rates apply. That would be $75 for 3 pulls w/ air/fuel readings and some print outs. If you care to tune your car I will give you a price accordingly that night. It will be a first come/first serve basis on FATS nights.

- Come and hang out. You dont need to spend any money with us to be able to park and talk. We encourage ANYONE (any make or model) to come out, park, show your car off, talk with friends, meet people, etc. Our parking lot can easily hold 100 cars or so, feel free to fill it up. I'd like this to become something people look forward to.

Whats not allowed?

- No burnouts (OF ANY KIND), doughnuts, wreckless driving on our property. Our landlord is a very cool guy and is also a car guy. He is letting me try this out because he liked the idea. His only stipulation is that he doesnt want to come back Monday morning and have his parking lot look like a burnout box. If you leave rubber, you leave and don't come back.

- No alcohol. This is kind of an obvious one, but I still needed to put it out there. Please, if you choose to come out do not bring alcohol with you or you'll be asked to leave. Thats just common courtesy.

So, to wrap this up...If you are into blasting your stereo and testing your rev limiter in a parking lot everytime someone drives by....this is not for you. If you like showing off your car, talking about cars, dyno'ing, tuning your car, meeting other car people...FATS is for you.

For those that want to come out this Friday, here are some directions:

If coming from Richmond or from the southside by Rt. 288, via 64:
- Take 64 West towards Charlottesville. (Those taking Rt. 288, take it until it dead ends at 64 West.)
- Get off Exit 173 Rockville/Manakin.
- At the top of the hill take a left at the stoplight.
- Follow that road (Ashland Rd.) down until you see a Valero gas station on your right. Take that right onto Plaza Drive.
- After you are on Plaza drive, Performance Autosport is the 2nd building on the left...in the back.

If coming from Charlottesville via 64:
- Take 64 East towards Richmond.
- Get off Exit 173 Rockville/Manakin.
- At the top of the hill take a right at the stopsign.
- Follow that road (Ashland Rd.) down until you see a Valero gas station on your right. Take that right onto Plaza Drive.
- After you are on Plaza drive, Performance Autosport is the 2nd building on the left...in the back.

To keep the level of stupidty down, I will now start letting everyone know who ended up being an ass at the past FATS. In hopes that the bashing will keep the idiotic level down by policing by your own friends. It's easy really. Everyone has to make sure no one ruins it...makes my job easier.

I'll be there sometime after 9. but don't make fun of my dyno numbers if I do decide to do so.

You are up on me by about 90hp...i have no room to laugh.


Well...Nissan vs. Nissan anyways.

Jason R

I'll try to show up in the Volvo. Sometime or another once I get it tuned a little bit more I'm going to need to get on the dyno. How much for runs without A/F - I'm installing a WBo2. Time to get it tuned and lay down a 13.xx pass. Shes looking a little ugly right now though, still in the middle of cleaning everything up....
I see yall are right by 288 which should make access even easier now.
