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.

You would think that with things getting thight we should be able to get it down to $75....Some cash flow is better than non....

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.
