I wanna thank RT Tuning for opening their shop for this event and lending their services. Thank you to Fred and Rockstar Energy for the great setup. Thank you Turn 14 for your product donations for the Raffle. Thank you Dan Lepore & Sons. Thank you to Wonder/Hostess. If there is anyone else I'm forgetting, I'm sorry and thank you for your help. Thank you to the people that Dyno'd their car, made a donation, bought a T shirt, bought raffle tickets, paid to get into the VIP area, or just bought something to eat or drink. Every little bit helped. It's impossible to express how grateful I am to everyone for everything that was done.

I know most of you want to know how much was made yesterday. It made more money than I thought it would haha. As of right now there isn't an exact amount yet. But we are over the $5,200 mark!

Also I saw that some of you still wanted T-shirts. Yes there are still shirts available. I will talk to Ken about how we can get them to you. But you can PM ahead of time to tell me what size you would like.

Excellent day and a great end result. Best wishes to Mike and his family and hopefully we can keep this an annual event and keep Mike, his family, and everyone happy even if it's just one day a year.

Any pics of Zam lol? He had a great time as well yesterday and I appreciate everyone being nice to Zamboni. Really looking forward to bringing him out to more meets.

Tim



Courtesy of Mr. Mann a couple of pages back haha. Such a cool dog! Makes me want one haha.

Thanks to everyone who complimented my car and all of the pictures and video footage of it are greatly appreciated! After the car struggled through such a horrible misfire earlier yesterday morning I had to guess at the street tune. I wasn't expecting the car to get a clean pass on the dyno let alone put down the numbers that it did. I can't wait to see more of the pics and vids that will come out of the woodwork for all the cars, some really neat stuff there and I had a total blast.

TalonTSi - haha, where did you get all the info on my build? Just curious. Datalog recorded 27psi at redline.

[Charged SVTF]

Haha...he looks so bored. Aaron....you know your car would be just fine. But we all like drama haha. Great numbers man. Great Honda

same man, I had heard that they don't do great by themselves...tim assured me he's had no problem, and he sure looked calm, collected and aware for all the people around...now just time to convince the parental units....or move the **** out and just get one.

first one seems cheaper to me

Nice video. It was nice to see my car in the video I got a half ass video on my camera. I wanted to stay and see the silver WRX run but I left. Looks like we did about the same. It looked like the rest of the day was a good time.

[PunkboySL2]

Kinda mad I didn't end up running my car, but we came down and bought a few T's. Glad you guys were able to pull in that much cash.

Here's the only good shot I got all day.



Pleasure meeting you guys.

Hahahah should of known you'd post that. Good time BS'ing with ya yesterday.

[gdmbat85]

I'm excited to find out what the grand total was. Was a fun meet and sweet turnout.

The dsm put down 372hp and 379lbs/ft. What I was expecting, but also realized that there's a lot that can be gained from fixing the tune. Ill try to post pics and vid soon.

The raffle tickets were a HUGE fundraiser. I dont think any of us expected the raffle tickets to sell like they did! I know we had a bit of a battle going for those race ramps!

After all was said and done, total funds generated for the Bartuski family was

$6,168.75

(Thats $5403.75 in cash, $300 in checks, and $465 in paypal deposits and donations)

Way to go everyone!!!! Thats definitely enough to finish Mike's bedroom, and most likely enough to have his chair lift installed!!

Id like to extend a personal thank you to everyone who helped make this happen. R/T Tuning and all the guys there who dedicated a Saturday of their time to run the show. Vince, who ended up donating all of the money that the dyno runs generated. Tony @ Dan Lepore & Sons for donating over $1000 in cash, as well as donating the money to have the t-shirts made up (and for bringing out the Ferrari). Turn 14, S-Max Intercoolers, and Rockstar Energy for the generous contributions, James Pierce for bumpin the tunes all day, and my dad for having the hotdogs on LOCK! Honestly there are too many people to thank for everything... We all did an amazing job pulling everything together for a great day, for an even greater cause!

Also thanks to everyone taking pictures and video- somehow I managed to escape being photographed! (phew)

You guys cant even imagine how huge this is for Mike and his family. Its really amazing that we all pulled together like this to make a difference for someone!

I still have PLENTY of t-shirts left, so anyone that wants one, send me a PM. I'll either mail them out, or meet up with anyone that wants one.

And if anyone has video of the green GTI on the dyno, please shoot me a link. My buddy was super bummed when his videos didnt come out.

[Erik@R/TTuning]

I am thrilled to see what this translates into as far as accomplishing some things for Mike and his family. It would be incredible if through all of the generosity of the people that came out on Saturday we were able to finish off his room and get him out in the spring sun.

[Candyman]

That race ramp raffle was pretty heated - I got a little nervous during the drawing...

[guitar72186]

Let me edit number 28 for you Erik.

Justin Warren Paid in full (AWD) (1991 Galant VR4) 0.00HP because his car decides to run leaner when we add fuel.

BTW Erik, we finally figured it out late alst night. His meth pump was acting like a crazy meth addict.
