we had one for a dyno day 3 years ago but we were using it to test stereo systems.
xdeedubbx was in the back seat of my car when the bass pegged his dB meter.

we did test the exhausts back then. I just don't know who got ahold of the paper we recorded it on. I nearly got fried when one of the cars popped a flame....

Nooooo, I'm too late! Please mark me down for standby for either day (edit, ok i see stand-by closed ). Day 1 looks more promising. I have AP, would like NA dyno+tuning and may as well grab a seafoam treatment.

Add another day!

3 days would be brutal, we'll probably be there 10 - 12 hours PER day as it is.

at the rate this thing has been growing, it might just have to be 3 days next year.
Besides, from the looks of this year's list I might have to go FI just to get a spot at my own dyno meet next year.

If we do ever decide to extend it to 3 days - we may want to consider having it on a holiday...like say Presidents day or some holiday at the beginning of the year

iirc, it's a recognized holiday n' i don't know very many people that do anything special for that holiday

Jeff and I would have to renegotiate our 'contract' to include a 3rd day. He better not try to charge me "holiday pay" like some of those sissy union employees.

that sir I have no doubt about.
Question is, how many of us would be left standing at the end?
we're gonna need a LOT of energy drinks, pizza, and cigarettes.


now probably isn't a good time to mention that SR already told me they'd be open to a 3rd day, is it?

Nah. 3rd verse is same as the 2nd.

Due to recent changes in my fueling strategy, that would be a negative on all three counts.
Good news is, however, that horsepower is WAAAAY up without aforementioned provisions.

Traditionally, at the Arizona Dyno Days, I do the cooking.
However, since I might be kinda busy....

I was only going to get the seafoam if I was there for tuning already, otherwise I'll pass. Who to I have to beg to have a day 3? I got my AP in sept planning on this dyno tuning day.
