Ok,

we need to do some discusion, once this thread has run its course, I will start a new thead with a poll.

Here is the Topic. A few members have indicated they would prefer we do the dyno later in the spring (read: March or April). So we need to descide as a group, if the dyno will be held at the traditional mid-January time, or if we will hold of and go later in the spring.

Enjoy, and play nice.

I'm ok either way.

[Twilightoptics]

I like the Jan, because there isn't a whole lot going on other than Cows in the year, and this spreads them out more.

Especially if some of us brake at the dyno, that gives us some repair time before Cows!

[Jess]

I like the mid-late January myself, just as long as its not the last week in January.

[Dewey316]

I figure if we do January again, we will do like usualy, and go for the weekend before the superbowl.

[84transam383]

im golden either way,but preference would be january,just like always.ill be there with my dodge,throwing down a S/C 200 horsepower

and ill get pulled off the rollers by a lowrider chevy

[iansane]

I'd vote for mid-jan. Even though I haven't made it that last two years.

I would still like to see March or April. January is just too hard to predict what the weather will do. I hate missing the dyno gathering every year but I will not put this car on a trailer and drive over 100 miles in a blizard again. That is what it is, about 100 miles to drop down enough elevation to where it just rains. I don't blame Paul for wanting it in January though, he just doesn't want to get beat on the dyno by a Blue car.

Hey, refresh my memory on the pricing. I didn't make it last year and don't recall what the prices were.

The reason I ask is Tom's Perf is right across from where I work, and they are interested in trying to work out a package deal for us. I've not seen his dyno yet, but we may be able to save a few $$$

[Dewey316]

We actualy went to toms the very first year. McGee's give us $50 for 3 runs, but his dyno setup is much nicer than Tom's. Toms is all above ground, so we had to lift all the cars up to the dyno. McGee's is inground, so getting the cars on/off is much easier there.

[alloy]

Well as I said, I've not seen Tom's dyno. Guess I'll go back into my corner now and be quite.

[Midnight Sun]

Tough.

Like Ian said. I havent gone, but I am hoping to make it.

The mid jan time is nice cause it spreads out the meetings pretty good, yet the weather is still iffy and a lot of us live in the boonies (or go to school in the boonies).

Spring break seems like the perfect time, because the weather is warming up, and it is easier to get time off from work (assuming that the students have spring break, and people working jobs could get the day off easier after a few months of nothing instead of right after a major holiday season).

But in the end, the regulars should decide as to not throw off the whole dyno time for a newbie and ruin a tradition when they don't even show up.

[Dewey316]

Don't feel bad, that is why we asked. We want to see new people show up for this, some people in the crew have dyno'ed three years in a row now, and will for a fourth time. We want to try to pick a time that is best for everyone. not just those of us who plan it, and the members who have been here forever.

That is why we are having thsi discusion Rodney. We all want to see you make the dyno. I am dying to see the look on your face when you are OWNED by the LO3.

But at the same token, if Janaury is far and away better for everyone but you. It is hard to change the date for just one person.

I think you should just chain that SOB up, and drive the maro.

[Wolffy]

ill be one of the few dissenters here, i vote for later
as i have to drive 300+ miles to get there
I wont trailer my iroc just for a dyno in Jan & i wont drive it there either
