Well I phoned Forrest&Forrest Racing the other day. I told Glenn that since there have been quite afew inquiries into Dyno Day, that it might be feasible to book the dyno for the day. He said that it wasn't a problem and the cost is $550+tax. Normally I book for a half day (4 hours) at $325+tax. He also suggested that we can just book two half days if we want. I personally like the whole day event. I think that if we were to get 18 cars involved, the cost works out to be approximately $36.00 each. Also it will let people that were on earlier in the day to make some changes and then, if time allows, to get another kick at the cat.
Another suggestion for that day, weather permitting, that we organize a BBQ or something to that nature, for afterwards. Normally we all head out to a local tavern for something to eat and drink. If we have it at a park in the area, we can have our own little Show an' Shine meet. It's just a thought, but worth considering. The Dyno Day event seems to be getting bigger everytime, and with new members on the board, it's a great way to meet them as well as check each others rides and see what effect their mods have created.
If anyone has any thoughts to this day let me know.
I am planning on booking something in or around the end of May. I am thinking of the weekend following the May 24 weekend. Which is May 24. Pretty confusing since the May 24 weekend is actually on the 17 -19th.

 

I'm in!!!!

Dyno + BBQ =

 

I like the BBQ idea too... all day, lots of cars.

 

I'll be attending again

I'm also bringing some EMS buddies too...

 

Not to worry, Rovic, I will book a room for you at the London Burn Unit...

 

I'll be there, so will most of the rest of TDZ. Were gunna try for the Dyno record this year Was 275HP at the wheels, right?? Well cant say I will be the one to beat that, but one of my m8's should

 

Wow.... I got alot of work to do. I definitely want to get this thing dialed in at dyno day!

 

Hopefully I can make it this one...but just as a spectator.

 

hahhahah.....afraid you are gonna get owned by us guys with non-show cars?


anyway i would be up for going to this thing. that means i will have to get all my mods done by then, which is the plan. i am interested to see what kinda power my engine puts out.

Kevin, so we get the dyno for 8 hours? so that means we get roughly 27 mins each of dyno time, which includes loading the car on and off the dyno and any other stuff need to run the test. how long did it take to get the car on , do a run, and get the car off last time? how many runs do you think we can get in each this time?

 

I too will be there.. as a spectator..! I can help that Armenian with BBQin and stuff... UNLESS I do the swap this year then I will be on the dyno with the best of them.. hell I might aswell dyno the 305 again.. do some tuning this time.. :IE fuel pressure and some timing... see if I can squek out a 230HP...

 

LMAO :sillylol: .....come on Stiffler ......
BTW ....I am in
Long live the 305 :rockon:

 

I'm gonna be a spectator too. There's no way that my car will be done by May, realistically.

I'll have fun eating the burgers while you guys thrash on the dyno.

 

That depends on who you ask and how the computer was working at that point in time

Mark97z was on and off in 20 mins with 2 passes.

I was on over 45 mins with my 2 passes...(dern 'puter done broke down)

 

hmmm...i see...cause i would want to do a run, get off and do some tuning and get back on later. i wonder if there will be enough time for that if we have 18 cars in line?

 

As i recall the when I went there was extra time left over at the end for us to get on a second time if we wanted.

It was definetly a great time, got to meet some of the guys and get an idea as to whether the hard work paid off.

Oh, and thanks Kev for organizing this event, its greatly appreciated.
Im not sure if I'll make it this year, my car probably wont be moving too far.

 

there's the BIG SHOW!! I knew you were still around.. did you take that power house down to the track yet?

 

Ya, im still around

Actually havent been down to the track, last summer i was crazy busy and couldnt find the time, let alone some drag radials

It wasnt really as big of a show as i was looking for, but still decent without much tuning.

Im not sure if I'll have it out this year, I'll be in school during the summer so funds will be tight. Plus i need new seats, subframe connectors and wouldnt mind a set of 91-92 z28 rims.

That 305 of yours was very impressive

 

haha...nope not afraid. I've got a dyno place that I've been using in Scarborough for a couple ...I like to use the same dyno everytime just for consistent readings. I'll bring the dyno sheets!

 

that makes sense...spend more money when you dont have to


naw...i can understand that. consistancy is good.

 

kev we could all go back to my place for a bbq. if we want

 

Kev...you know I am in!! Guess I had better start putting my winter mods onto my car....its comming home sometime this week!

 

Hey Brad, Yeah as it goes we all get on the dyno for a few runs with some minor tweaking and adjustments. Some will probably take longer than others. We have only done the 4 hours with 10 cars and there was time to do a couple more. Glenn is pretty good that way, I don't think he actually puts us on the clock. He actually asked people to show up early last fall as he was alone, so in essence we had it all day. Even if you don't want to run your car, come out anyways, like I said it's a great day to meet and greet the new members and just to hang out and watch.
A pic before the fun began...

 

i definetly will be attending and would love to dyno my car.


on one condition.......that you have removed those quick fill coolant fittings. i dislike being burned by things and i get burned on my headers enough.

 

Haha, I got burned once on my headers, and it was brutal, took like a month before it totally healed. Any how, I am removing all my heater hoses and replacing them.
The aftermath...sorta

 

hmmm....either way i will have my helmet on just to be safe.

 

LMAO, and don't forget the Aviators, gotta protect the eyes...hahaha

 

thats very true. i wont forget.

 

Can't sleep... Kev's car will burn me... can't sleep Kev's car will burn me...

The worst my car has done to me was 2 broken ribs...

burns.. nah... car run header hot, me no touch engine lol.

 

I'll be happy to BBQ anywhere just as long I have my Dutch assistant by my side

 

Once a date us set, we can set up a commitee to organize the BBQ. It's still in the early stages of planning this event, but with the interest so far, this could be a great event.
Trigger, thanks for the offer of your home. Once we know how many people are planning to attend, we can decide the best locale for the BBQ. If more than the 18 people show up for this, even just to be there as an observer, you might change your mind.
I was thinking of more along the lines of Victoria Park where there will be ample parking and might even end up being a bit of a Show N' Shine. Who knows, it's still along time away, except for those that still have mods to do...
As I find anything out, I will pass it along to you all.

 

I think letting Gerrit near an open flame would be a bad idea

I'd love to attend this event but I doubt i'll be able to

 

let me know if you need a hand organizing things etc....i would be happy to lend a hand if needed.

 

You'll make it down... you gotta bring me my (secret mod)!!!!!! hahahaha fricken ba$tard! It will be closer than Sparta for you..

 

secret mod !?!?!??!?!


WTF !!!!! this I gotta seeeeeee

 

hmmm secret mod, eh? I got a few of them com'n this dyno day also. Gotta make sure i can take out D's89 for making me stick up for a mustang {yuk, spituy, still got a bad taste in my mouth} and then stealling my parts on me!!!! How dare u!!! Your the #1 victom on my list this year! bwahahahaha {evil laugh}

Time to get own'd blue boy! Really though! Who would drive a blue car? I mean come on, blue?


Any new plans/updates for Dyno Day yet Kev?

 

No there have been no updates, as of yet. It's still early. All I can say is that you can plan on it being around May 24th if the weather is clear, in other words no snow or ice. If it's raining, we will still go ahead with it. I will make an official announcement near the beginning of May. Right now I am thinking of creating time slots for everyone to book, so that things run smoothly and everyone will know what time to be there. I would think that the T.O. guys will probably book close together so as to come down as a group. Same as the Kitchener, London and Hamilton people will probably do.
As for the BBQ, I will ask for some help when the time comes. We will have a committee to organize it. Trigger has mentioned a couple of locations where we could have it, but nothing has been decided yet. I will let everyone know.

 

heheheheheehe...... Dam ! the way things are looking .......I might not be ready for ( all mods installed ) the dyno day . I'll be there , but with just the new tranny in The labour is going to kill me more than the parts are ( almost)


...but we will see

 

Dont start making excuses now My car's in a million pieces right now. But hook or high water, it will be back togethure and ready to kick your behind come Dyno day Then again Dyno day might scare u away from the track.

 

Nope ! I will bring my Newyorker if I have to with a 500 shot on it J/K But I will be there .... just hopefully with some kind of parts in it . ..... Waiting for alot of things to fall into place

 

A date has been set. June 7th /03. It will also be an all day event starting at 8 am-4 pm.

 

that is the date for ccfbg big meet. you can take me off the list i will not be going.

 

Hmmm, that kinda puts a damper on it. Well nothing is written in stone. I will do what the majority wants to do. I am only tentively booked in at Forrest & Forrest Racing. Two other dates that are possible is May 24th ( not too get confused with the long weekend of the 17-19th) or Saturday June 14th.

 

Yeah that does suck... i know some of kwf wanted to go to that too, but we didnt' know the date... going to have to get Mark to post these things when he visits our board

 

I will be at the Camaro Nationals on June 14th, sorry

I am good to go with May 24th

 

Well 7 of us from my area will not be attending the Dyno Day if its on the 14th. Sorry
