Default Achtuning Grand Opening recap and pics!

We had at least 200 people come through the show during the day. I would be safe to say that it exceeded ALL of our expectations!! It was a very fun day filled with great people, awesome cars and some really tasty food!

First of all I must say thank you to ALL the people who helped make this show a success. Many people put in hours of work to help us with the shop and show. These people include: My wife Joscelyn, Pete and Sue Dieckerhoff, Leslie, Joe Rae, Joe Moses, Jake Greg, Gary (PolarS4), BenZ, Nate T, Pat B, and many other. Ben, Adam and I are greatly appreciative of you all for you help.

Also, I must say a thanks to both Don Istook and Paul Lambert who flew up to attend the show. Both of them were able to share a bit about Audi Racing as well as some of their expertise with us. You guys are heroes to us all. MANY people came up to me saying how awesome it was for them to meet you guys. Having you both in attendance was the highlight of the event!

In addition many other people helped out behind the scenes to make this show a success.

Default Man, Don shaved. He looks like he's 25 yrs old.

I can't believe I missed it. Here I sit trying to figure out LiveMotion. Uggh.

On the upside, I broke 4:59 at the Complex String in GT3 with my Momo steering wheel.

NASA Racer better watch out. ;-P

Congrats again. It's all official now!!!

Default In the Time Trial mode, you get the RUF GT Porsche 996

It understeers when you don't want it to, and then it oversteers. You have to massage the throttle inputs. Nice.
