As topic title, going to the launch tomorrow, 3:47 est.
700,000 expected to be there, and only 5000 people allowed in to the space centre, the closest the rest of us can get is 12 miles away, across a massive river. Still really excited about it despite the massive traffic expected!

I'd say she's a mad yoke to go. I'd love to see what it puts out on the dyno after a remap.

Just back at the hotel, I'd a sweet spot to view it from in Titusville, I've loads of pics from the space centre from last week, kinda dissappointed, always new it was a possibility it wouldn't go ahead, monday soonest, I think it will run later than that though.

That sucks. Will you be around Monday if it goes ahead?

Stick up a picture or two if you get a chance.

Sadly no, it was originally scheduled for the 19th, when I booked the holiday starting around that date I presumed it would launch before I went home, the weather was perfect for a launch too, clear skies and only a light breeze. And I'm going home tomorrow
