In case you haven't checked the Mitty page lately, this is the first time the annual MegaSquirt MegaMeet is going to be combined with the Mitty! So, here's a bit more details about that:

The DIYAutoTune.com crew is going to be there for the duration of the show. We'll have a hospitality tent and car corral at the top of the hill, and be handing out free bottled water to anyone wearing a DIYAutoTune.com shirt. There's also going to be a MegaSquirt tech session from 9 AM to noon on Saturday.

A lot of the key people in the MegaSquirt community will be there - the whole DIYAutoTune.com tech staff, Bruce Bowling, Al Grippo, and a lot of the other people you see on the forums. There's likely to be some new or in-the-works hardware unveiled, too.

Fantastic! I'm sure that will be a heck of an interesting group of cars, and people! We look forward to seeing you there!

Wow, the guys who literally started MegaSquirt are going to be there! AND YOU! Might have to bring the XR4 just to thank you!

If I get my 2002 up and running on MS I'm bringing it. Otherwise, I'll be there in the Miata. Getting close to first start - hopefully this weekend be ready for first start.

Hope you can make it with the 2002; we've had some pretty cool 2002s show up at previous MegaMeets.

I'm hoping to have the CRX I'm working on done in time.

The 2002 will not be making it to the MegaMeet. At least not this year. Still a decent number of hours of work left and even if I found the time to work on it during the week, I'm not going to shake it down by driving 3 1/2 hours to Atlanta. Looking forward to the Mitty though. Guess I'll come in the Miata.

Nice progress Dave. I made my new fuel supply and return lines this past weekend. I mounted my fuel pumps/filters and a surge tank in the spare tire well. Still have the wiring to go. If I could take the week off work I know I could get it running before the Mitty, but my goal was to have it running by 16 April so I could sort it out a bit and work on the tune a bit before attempting the drive. The past month has conspired to keep my garage time at a minimum. Hope you get the CRX finished. I'd like to see it.
