What the he!! were they expecting. There are a lot of diesels in the area and there is nothing diesel oriented to do over the winter. It maybe more wear ont he dyno but why have it if that is all you are concerned about. I just don't feel like that is a justifyable reason to raise the prices. I realize that at 3 trucks an hour it would take all day which is fine but why was it talked up so much on this board and others if they didn't want a crowd? Pack I am not mouthing you and I appreciate you getting this info, I just feel that this event should have been a little more researched before they set a date and planned it. I still plan to attend just a little confused on the turn of events.

A spring event would be great.

I like this winter dyno event though like others have said it's nice to have a diesel gathering in the off season too. It could really be a big thing since there is no other events or nice out door work weather to compete.

You need to let us know the # of openings that are still available.

What about the temperature? Does it have to be above what temp? Does wind matter? A shop was mentioned? Can people get inside if it's cool out? If this is going to be a big event maybe some info can be passed out to the atttendess so we can help make it a better event.

Corey talk with straightpiperoar over on the diesel place. He has some ideas and possibly a place for the dyno day. If you can't get him there I will relay some info back and forth. For a small fee of course!
