Here are the facts at this time. There will be more to come.

We will dyno on Sat, hopefully starting at 9 am til the operators get tired
... or darkness falls .. and stragglers on Sun to a point ... yet
determined.


Those who wish to camp, we have plenty of room. We can offer a full hook-up to one
... first come first served. Everyone else will need to dry camp. We have a
dump station. We can provide power to maybe three ( 2 gens available) ...
but you buy the gas for the gen. Tent camping galore!


For those wishing a motel ... we need some #'s to get a "group rate" ... Do
we hear a MAJOR "bonfire" on Sat night? BYOB


This is the greatest weekend event in the area!. Any suggestions for other
activities .. open .. please let us know! Friday (or earlier) arrivals are
fine! Stay as long as you wish!

Good, I hope you all can make it. With the lead time I hope it is a big blowout weekend! I don't see any reason it won't be anything but a croud having fun with the dyno and friends.

You may want to call Forest City Diesel to see if a signup sheet has been started. There was talk of having one. 573-265-5595

The Cost for the dyno pulls is $65 for three pulls. There will be a signup list kept at Forest City Diesel and the way it works is this. Send $55 to Forest City Diesel and
Keith will put you on the list as first letter/payment to come in gets first on the list and on down the line. Pre-registration for the dyno will save you $10.

Come on out and give it a shot. I made .7hp on this dyno with a mountain bike.
