Re: Where to go to dyno

If you don't mind waiting a while, the Cascade Crew (link in my signature)holds a dyo event every year around the Jan-Mar time frame. The event is hosted in the Portland area, most will arrive at the host's home(s) on Friday evening with party & bench racing that night, cruise to the dyno location Saturday morning. The dyno event is normally followed by lunch somewhere and possibly another cruise and more party in the evening. Most will head back home Sunday morning. Makes for a really fun weekend...

Typically, on that weekend the rate has been about $65 for three pulls on the rollers. It would be cash only to the dyno operator because he opens the shop just for the group on Saturday (normally not open on weekends).

Depends on which member(s) host the event and open their house(s) for the crew. Dyno on Saturday is in Lake Oswego...

I was wondering where the dyno was going to be, I'd like to meet up with you guys, not sure if it's going to be in the budget to put my car on the dyno, but things could change.
