You're right, I just called to confirm that....which is better/cheaper for us. I updated the first post.

Edit: Actually.....no. I can explain the details if you want, but unless you know precisely how to operate their dyno, we can't do an hourly rental per se. It's gonna cost a few bucks more, but at this point I can't do anything about that. I organized this thing, so I had to make a few executive decisions....

That would probably be fine.....don't know precisely how many cars we're going to have. 7-8 I think....


For the NYC/NJ/Nassau people, who wants to meet up and drive out there together?? I'll make the suggestion for a meetup spot of the Kohl's parking lot in Westbury. It's right off of the LIE....easy on, easy off. How's that sound?

I know their dyno is an all-wheel-drive dyno.

As far as having everyone confirm....that might be tough, I can't make people check the forums. I will, however, send everyone who expressed interest an email/PM wednesday night just reminding them, and suggesting they check in here.

I told them we'll have 7-8 cars, but that I'm not sure. He was OK with it being not a definite numbers, he was pretty confused as well. Apparently someone who works at the shop told me incorrect information about their rate over the phone, and he doesn't know who it is......as I said, long story.

Anyway...yeah...everything seems relatively GO for saturday. Except Al can't make it.

I just called them about me tuning my car on the dyno. I only need about 10-15 pulls to dial it in and it may only take 30 minutes. But they said if there is time. And I just checked their rates and its $125 for the hour.

I really hope they dont give me **** about me wanting to tune cuz its honestly not worth it for me to drive that far and get 3 pulls for $75 when I need a tune.

I need to think about this.
