HPF Dyno day?

[ZoomZoomBoom]

I was going to say bummer that I don't have a new convertible top yet and it was dumping rain today, but the postponement works out better for me. ;)

What. You've got to be kidding me.. I was so psyched for today! :hitler:

Well everyone, I talked to Chris today and we made the decision to postpone this event until probably spring time.

Sorry to those that had already signed up. I'll work on getting your registration fees refunded.

Thanks for the support and we'll see this happen in 2013.

A couple more registrations have come in. We'll have an LS1 swapped E36 on the dyno, that should be cool.

On Wednesday morning, we'll review registrations and talk with Chris at HPF about allowing other makes. I'll keep everyone updated.

In the meantime, let's get some more sign ups!! I wanna see this thing filled with BMW's!

I had a really good time last year, I thought the event was pretty well organized and we got to see cool cars put power down. Wish I could make it again this year but too much going on Saturday.

Hmmm I was told not to bother registering by an employee there that's a friend of mine. Apparently it turns into a circus and the same "Lots of people show up very few get in" is going to happen. Rumor is they're going to do no more than 15 cars and they aren't interested in E30s.

I am not sure where you're getting the "lots of people show but few get in" idea. Like David said, if you're one of the 15 paid spots, you are guaranteed to get your car dyno'd. We dropped it down from 20 cars to 15 cars to make sure it would work easier and that there was plenty of time for everyone.

Maybe it's a "circus" to an employee? But to the participants, it was a great time to hang out and talk cars and have BBQ and frankly a lot of fun.

I'd love to hear who this 'employee' is, because Chris the owner made this a manditory paid staff event for the whole company. That's how much priority that HPF is putting on this thing. Maybe your friend is just miffed that they have to work on a Saturday??? :roll:

We did this last year and like this year, the slots are available ahead of time. It is limited to 15 cars so if you register, you're in. Most of the cars last year were e30s. As far as it being a circus, there were a lot of people from r3v and other forums as well a the cca. Personally, I thought it was a good time.

Agreed. I had a blast. Watching my pos blow tons of smoke at redline was worth the $50 alone :rofl:

If you have less than 100hp, is the dyno free?

This. Was a great time last year. Lots of E30's with different engine setups doing pulls, it was really interesting to see the differences.

if you pay you should be guaranteed a spot. im tempted to dyno the new car, but funds are too tight right now to blow $100 in a day

[rickycricketts]

This sounds like fun. No sense in dynoing my stock I car but ill go regardless
