Hello all,
This is Chris from National Speed Inc. and I wanted to come on and personally thank you all for choosing to have your event with us on January 29th. We will be updating the flyer and information for the Dyno Day shortly to make a few corrections and additions to the experience we will provide all in attendance.
Our event schedule runs from 11am to 4pm for reasons of keeping the peace with neighboring housing developments and to keep the event exciting. I see an opportunity here for an inaugural event with a trophy to be held by the winning platform for the year and would like to see if there is any interest in developing some criteria for the event. Because we have a good mix of both cars planning to attend, we were considering building a list of cars to participate on the Dyno and using the average of each platforms HP and TQ numbers to determine the winner. To be fair to any who would like to participate in just Dynoing their cars, we would need to decide on a count for each team. We can usually handle about 20 cars in the span of a Dyno day so perhaps choose a captain for each platform and have 4 cars from each that will be chosen to represent that model. This would leave room for 12 vehicles not directly participating to utilize the Dyno to make runs and get graphs.
National Speed would supply the trophy for the winning platform which would be held on display in our shop until the following years event. We would encourage the respective forums to have a place on their events page to put a picture of the trophy for bragging rights for the year.
We welcome any thoughts and ideas to make this event happen and think it would add some spice and competition to the event for all to get excited about!
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas!
Best Regards,
Chris Polanski
President, National Speed Stores

If you want to still get a dyno in then its going to be first come first serve....You will be suprised at how many ppl will back out of getting a dyno once they get there....It will be cobalts/neons first then if nobody else signs up then they will take whoever wants one.
