I'm feeling a touch of the meningitis coming on that day, so I will be in for that weekend for sure.
It's the last one forever, so we gotta do it right.
Unless them Mayans lied.

The big question is...who can step up for hosting. I will likely not be able to take a weekend off for it.
BTW Steve e-mailed me asking about dates in March. So, I am happy to cordinate things with Steve, but some others will need to sort out the rest of the weekend.

I'll most likely be able to get the time off (Friday & Monday) to make the drive.
I am most curious to see what the new motor has, even though I have the never ending tuning to do

Well, need to get mine running first, but a fuel pump should fix that.
I'm really looking forward to it this year.

Your house, Jim?
Recently I have been thinking a nice late March date would be good for me.
Either way I will be running something. |

Dyno day is an annual spring get together. ostensibly to put our cars on a dyno to see how the previous years work has paid off. mostly it is an excuse to get together and cath up with friends and tell lies over the course of the weekend. The price for the dyno is something that is decided by the shop running it, the get together costs gas and breakfast money mostly and whatever you might want to bring to the festivities. located in the Portland/Vancouver area.
It is a good time, and well worth the gas money.

In the past it has been $60 for three pulls.
The watching and telling lies are free.
Afterwards there is lunch and a cruise (not always in that order).
Usually one or two local people will host the party Friday and Saturday.
I'm not bringing the truck this year, so nobody break anything important.  |

Uh remember al's motor swap?
I wanna make it this year buuuut problem is I start in the shipyard in march which means no leave for a while....honestly I'd swing down for the weekend and come back I missed last year so I'm obligated to show, the big question is can I do my swap and work out all the kinks before then.... hmm oddly enough my wife of all people is pushing for me to do the swap lol she said she wants the car to have more power so I'm thinking something hit her in the head pretty hard
