My friend Trevor shared part of Matt's shop for his machining business. Apparently the ventilation system wasn't quite up to the task of clearing the smoke, made a big mess in the shop. There was good layer of soot on Trev's CNC machines there.

We could do the Edmonton event? I remember Derick dodge had a dyno. I ran on it several years ago. They even let me try different sticks and boxes. It was a fun day.

I'd go back to AFI. What are the chances we could get the price down to $75 instead of the usual $100? For most of us, its usually just two runs that are consistant, then off we go.

$100 is a lot - I know some guys down south that pay $45 for 3 pulls.

Has anybody ever timed us on the roller. I bet we are around the 1/2hr mark. With a line-up of 10+trucks, we should get a decent rate. Anybody ever ask about renting it for a day? We could also do that and divide it up between the rest of us. I asked PDR for to use there dyno for a day, its was around $800 for a day, that was last year. We could supply some of the labour as well. Save Martin some money. I'm cool with AFI, I just need a bottle to make any power on that dyno, but it would be cool to see if we could cloud the place out again.

When I was originally wrangling a price with VEX it was going to be $1000 for the 8 hour day.

Check out "Unlimited Performance in Calgary". I think they have a new Mustang chassis dyno.
