I would suggest having a random assignment process in effect. Maybe pull numbers out of a hat to determine dyno order?

Great idea! We'll randomly decide the order once everyone gets there. (no fair showing up late just so you don't have to go first)

Remember: we'll be taking group photos and such at the BEGINNING of the day so make sure you're on time. Thanks guys, this is shaping up to be a GREAT day!

There is an autocross event the following day, on April 1st...so I may just show up with my R-compounds, lightweight Enkeis and my racing decals

On second thought, it might be cool to get a set of pulls with my Volks, and another set with the Enkei's...I'm sure there is a noticeable difference between the two...be interesting to be able to prove how much.

Peterisurhero asked to go first because he has to go to work early...but since we changed the time to 10 am instead of 9 am, he might not be able to come because he says he starts work at 10...Peter..let us know if you plan on going.

The name out the hat is a good idea. I'll write the names on paper and throw them in a bag, i'll have my co worker pick em out. I promise i'll play fair..hahaa

Yeah, my suggestion would be to have everyone show up at 945...have those who show up, write their name on a piece of paper. Then, at 10:00, draw out the names to create an order. If anyone comes after the drawing is held, they are added to the end of the list in the order they show up in the parking lot.

This would reward those who show up on time. If you post the dyno order prior to the event, people may not show up for the day. Just my opinion.

thats a great idea but lets not over engineer things. Lets just keep it simple:

1. Peterisurhero
2. Murix
3. Snowflake
4. Wing5
5. Kwescott
6. Scremin 8
7. New Castle
8. Brgreen
9. Rotary Rasp
11. Jedi54
12.RX Ocho
13. NgoRX8
14.xdeedubbx

The person that shows up late will have to wait till the last person goes. If it is time for the member to dyno and they are a no show they will get bumped to the end as well. 9:45 am is a good time to meet up . I'll update the first page.

HAHA!!! On a serious note: if anyone here has a Cat that's clogged, I can pretty much guarantee they will dyno less then BRGREEN. (since we all know how GREAT our stock cats are )

Only reason I brought this up, was that Speeddemon32 had his car dyno'd, and the shop had straps that went to the frame, which barely cleared/rested on his rear bumper.
The straps will come from the rear. It can be done.

A hard point is just that. Somewhere safe to put a strap on your car and bolt it to the floor. Usually it is the frame. It can be anywhere strong and safe enough to support the car that is reachable.

I also have the MS kit with MS suspension. I have owned much lower cars and had them dynoed with no problem.

BRGREEN: It's only $50. Just save $2 a day from now till then and you'll be good to go. C'mon man, no one ever dyno's their AT because they're intimidated by the MT guys. Do it for the AT's, it'l be good to know where your engine is at AND I bet a bunch of owners would REALLY appreciate it.
