N.C. Dyno Day/GTG

I spoke with Phil McMaster earlier today and he has set up a tentative date of Saturday February 17, 2007 for a Dyno Day/GTG at "Carolina Auto Masters" in Winston Salem, N.C.

We have had dyno days at this location before and the owner there has treated us very well! He has a Dynojet 248C with the heavy rollers and our diesel trucks always seem to run well on his dyno. Many of the newer NC DTR Members have asked about having some events, so here is one for all to attend.

More information will follow from Phil McMaster (McMopar) on exact times etc.

Dyno Day info.

I stopped by Jeff's shop in Durham yesterday to shoot the bull and see what dates and times were available for a Dyno day.

Jeff has the date JP mentioned above or if that won't work for us he has some April dates available. Please let me know. As some of us know Jeff is a really great guy and is real "gentle" with our trucks.

I will check pricing once I get a rough idea of how many want to Dyno. Last year I think it was 50.00 for 3 pulls. One thing Jeff did tell me was NO STACKS, last time we coated a new Chevy Slowvette and he had to shell out a bunch of money to have it cleaned -Sorry about that Jeff!!

I would like to get this off the ground, I tried this fall while I was in Alabama, but Jeff and I could never work out a day that worked.

So, what I need from you guys is a choice of Feb. or April and who will Dyno.

Thanks guys
