We have scheduled our next Gathering to occur in conjunction with Momentum Tuning's VW/Audi Chip Day on Saturday, March 12th. Momentum Tuning is located in Wallingford, CT in an industrial park which provides a perfect venue for hundreds of cars for a weekend event such as this. Please take a look at their website (<a href="http://momentumtuning.com/" target="_blank">http://momentumtuning.com/</a>) to learn more about them. You can feel free to email Mike (<a href="mailto:tuner@momentumtuning.com">tuner@momen tumtuning.com</a>) at Momentum Tuning for any details of their event.

Even with the late notice for our Krispy Kreme meet, we had a great turn out. I plan to post those pics (of dirty, salty cars on our site soon. There are many linked in the CT/NY/NJ Audiworld Forum if you haven't seen them already. Nonetheless, if you made it there, or didn't, I hope that we will see many of you again in Wallingford, this time with a bit more advance notice for planning your schedules. Also, I hope for almost spring-like weather that day, but we'll just have to wait and see.

The Chip Day starts at 8am. For those that are just going to meet and hang out with each other, I suggest a core time of 10AM-2PM or thereabouts, figuring that people's schedules will differ, but this should be a good time when the attendance is the highest.

Directions can be found on Momentum's site:

Any updates to this info will be posted on the Events Forum post:

But from their old place, Momentum is 18 miles south (down I-91), so they are closer to you:

Not too shabby, ey? XXTuning's new showroom is only 1/3rd of the building. Middle 1/3rd is "low dust" electronic, etc area. Rear 1/3rd is a handfull of lifts and 2 dynos:
