Well, another ABF has come and gone. What was everyone's opinions on how things went and what was good/bad about it. How about some people post up their dyno results and such.

212.8 @ 5400 RPM and one roasted engine.

Living in the Tri-Cities, it's was nice to meet all the friendly Rotary people from around the north west. I learned alot of technical stuff talking too.

It was my official first even though I went up to the watch the dyno last year. It' way better to do the package. We are lucky to have people around who put in all the time and energy to organize this event, thanks.

My scanner isn't working since I installed XP but:

first pull max power = 212.8 / max torque = 208.1
second pull max power = 99.3 / max torque = 78.7

And it's official, I pulled the trailing plug on the rear rotor and got 3 strong pulses, then I pulled the trailing plug on the front rotor and got absolutly nothing. Its amazing that I could still drive a car with a blown engine down I-90 @ 75 mph.

I'm glad you made it home alright jones. You blew some pretty nice flames on the dyno. :P It was awesome to meet everyone again, or for the first time. I'll rem. next year to sign up. I'd just like to thank everyone who helped me through this event. I appreciate the hospitality that came along with it. I regret one or two things I did during the event. For next year, hopefully, I will remember my wrongs and won't repeat them.

my repu could easily maintain 60+ in 4th gear with a blown rear rotor...

The Classy Chassy parade was a kick. The crowd loved the cars. Kettlman should get an award for his showman ship. People yell your name and at first I was looking to see if there was someone I knew, until I figured out that my name was on the side of the car, duh.

PS Kettlman, its righty tighty = off

I would like to say that it is very nice putting a face to all the names. i enjoyed meeting you all and it does sound like i missed a pretty good afterparty but afterall, i made the treck for the 7's and after getting to see them all i was pretty content. Hopefullly next year i could maybe possibly have a running 7. but in the meantime, it was nice to meet you all.

I agree with ApexRX, it was nice getting to see all the people who until then had only been handles and avatars on here.

I'm glad I could make it this year and hopefully I'll have my car up and running to drive on out there next year. Though I think getting to drive the RX-8 was a fair exchange.

Oh yeah, to you first gen guys, sorry about the raffle prizes, I'll see what I can do about maybe getting some FB stuff next year :-D

Had a hell of a great time. People were way cooler than I expected, Nice to meet some new people for the first time. My wife Michelle enjoyed herself as well. Thanks for keeping her occupied during the car show and dyno. Big thanks to Brad, Deena, and Allan for their parts in making this happen, It was well organized and safe. I only sorry i missed last year. Never again though. Thanks to who ever didn't dyno the second day. I hit 189.9 at 8-9 psi of boost and 6500 rpm. Stock J spec with a full three inch exhaust and aftermarket intake. I am pretty happy with that considering I got it running back in march.
The raffle was great, and so was the buffet. Big thanks to everyone involved.

Caution watch out for Z-beater next year, I sure he is already planning his revenge.!!

Your FC was off the hook. I enjoyed every bit of the event, too bad I couldn't bring the FD down, maybe next year.

I didn't enjoy all the kops harrassing people. But, I did enjoy the free Red Bulls! The Rotary's represented big time!
