2nd Midwest F-body gathering dyno session interest

I just called the owner of Midwest Machine and got the numbers for the meet's suggested dyno pulls. We're looking at $250-ish for 2-3 hours worth of runs. Usually 4-6 runs per hour once everything is set up and we get rolling. From past experience at other shops, each driver gets 2-3 pulls to make *minor* changes to see the difference.

That's anywhere from a little over $30 or so per 10-15 minute session even if we only get 8 people, which is CHEAP!!! If we go over in time for more people, we won't get nailed to the cross or anything as the price per session will stay about the same. If someone tries to hog all of the time for special requests, we will ask you to ante up the extra dough.

Who's interested???

The Midwest F-body gathering is going to be in Norwalk, Iowa at Josh's house unless something changes. Norwalk is just a few minutes South of Des Moines.

The dyno shop is on the N.E. side of Des Moines on Deleware. Web site is http://www.automotivemachineshop.com. They don't have the dyno services listed on their site, but they have a small map on how to get there once you get to the Des Moines, Iowa area.

Watch for Joshp14 to post about the midwest F-body meet in this forum. (hint: one post down right now) When ever Josh decides to hold the meet, that's when we'll try to line the dyno up for.

Last time the meet was pretty much just a car show, then a cruise to a Sonic joint. We need more events this time...
