Ideas for a Indy meet

Ok guys i would like to hear some ideas for a meet. i went to a dyno with my boss today and it got me thinkin. (he put down 335hp and 335 tq to the wheels in a 1940 chevy pick-up). but anyway. the place that we went to dyno at is in danville and i asked them if they gave group discounts. normally it is $75 to do three runs. but if we can get ten or more it drops to $65 for three. i know that is only $10 but 10 bucks is 10 bucks. plus it would be a good time. But i am open to suggestions. so lets hear um.

well i just found out last night that my friend has a buddy that is opening up a shop with a dyno. i think that it is on March 8th. i will double check that but i am pretty sure that is the date. and i think he said that it was $55 for 3 pulls. by the way prozac what are you doin to the balt now?

Im down with dyno in march for sure and we do need to get a local club/website started this site is down more than its up

whats up with getting the dyno? I tried calling you a couple of times Jimmy but never got through... I'm trying to find some to tune my car, maybe we could have someone with hptuners to come out and tune cars while on the dyno, or maybe I'll just get the program and tune my own car!?!

If you would rather goto the ohio meet I'm down for that too! I'm sure we could get a convoy of cobalts together... also I think later in the year their is a cobalt meet at cedar point in sandusky ohio which sounds pretty sweet too!!

i don't know that i would want to go to a ohio meet due to work issues. but as for the dyno. all that i would have to do is call and give the place a day and they will due a dyno day for us. i would have to have at least ten cars. that is their requirement. or my buddies friend is opening a shop with a dyno on march 8th. and he is having a dyno day for everyone. its like $45 or $55 bucks. that is for three pulls. and if you are looking to have someone tune your car i could see if my buddy rob (that tunes a ton of balts around here) could come out. he is pretty cheap and does an awesome job.

if i had my choice i would say that march 8th would be the best. they will let you take the time and tune were as the other place is nice but the like to rush you. i just need to find out who all is interested.

any more ideas floating around out there? i'm down for a dyno but we really need to get like a list of ten or so people to go. if not that then we could all just meet up and hang out. like down in greenwood or something.

What else is there to do that's car-related?

dyno meet
track meet
cruise
photo meet
car show
tail of the dragon
corvette museum or other auto museum

there's always other options like amusement parks and cookouts

I don't have Friday off and I don't have the 29th off either. I have the 15th and April 5th off. I also have March 22 off, but a bunch of us at work (including my boss) are going out bowling and drinking.
