Dyno day feeler thread
Since we are organizing a mega meet for the western provinces, the idea of a dyno day has popped up as well (Thanks sidejam!!)
So who would be interested in doing a seperate dyno day, one in Calgary for the southern half of the province, and one in Edmonton for the northern half of the province??

If others in Calgary/Red Deer are interested, I'd be up to going to Edmonton on a Friday. I did that once with Pascale and a bunch of other SRT-4's. I guess it really depends on how many people are interested. From what I've found, for a shop to set aside a dyno for a group, they would need a minimum of at least 10 participants.
Anyone know any good shops in either city?
A bit off topic, but just goes to show how well some meets can be organized. I can recall one event where a bunch of us from different VW clubs in Montreal, Kingston, Ottawa, Belleville were going to an event in Toronto. We set a rough time to meet and kept in contact by cell phone. The cars to be joining the caravan would park along the on ramp of the highway meeting point. When the rest got close, the newcomers would merge in with the pack. At each location, about 10-15 cars would join in. (Except Bellevile where only 3 joined in.) After the last group had merged, we had a convoy of about 50 VW's going down the 401 to Toronto. It was pretty cool to watch that many cars merging in together and it made for some great videos too!
Before you laugh at the VW guys, check out this pic:
How cool is that pic???
