DFW RX8club/ MVP Motorsports DYNO DAY!

Alright everyone we have been presented with a fun opportunity from one of our vendors and sponsors of "The Texas 8" RX8 event. MVP Motorsports recently contacted me about us doing a "DYNO DAY" at their location (Bridgeport, TX) in the spring sometime. The date is up to us so right now I am just judging interest on if you guys would like to take a Saturday in the near future and hangout at their shop and DYNO some of the RX8's?

MVP Motorposrts said that they could DYNO about 20 RX8's during the time we spend there. Now this isn't free but it is at a discounted price of $10 per car (if we get 20 cars) to participate in the DYNO.

MVP Motorsports will also have their world record holding Vipers, Supras, project RX8 and more out at this event for us to check out. They are also talking about doing a BBQ lunch during the time that we spend there as well.

So right now this is just a feeler to see who all is interested in participating (getting your car dyno'd) as well as just going to hangout on a Saturday and get to know more RX8 people as well as one of our vendors/sposnors.

Thanks!

Yeah the BBQ which from what I have been told is really good and can feed up to 50 people. But once we know how many people are coming we will know the price for lunch. The more people the cheaper it is.

If my car is broken in when you decide to do it. I'll come down. I'll also ask some of the crew around here.
