The last time that I used Sam's dyno, it was $85 per hour.

If they honor that price per hour we'd be nearly fine for 6 hours of dyno time divided amongst the paid individuals so far.

9 people paid x $55 = $495
6 hrs on dyno x $85 = $510

$510 - $495 =

Why thats um 20 bucks or something.

I got 20 bucks! I sold some beer cans.

Will they let us run our own cars?

Also, should more people show up, could we add them in?

Setup time and trouble for multiple cars is typically what drives the cost, not straight clock time of the dyno.

On Thursday, I drove down 288 to Freeport to visit Chuck at his dog & cat ranch on the bayou. 288 is nice once you get south of HW 6. But coming back, Chuck had me take a more scenic route to MSR befor getting back on 288 north.

It was scenic and more delightful even though it isn't very curvy.

Yea chuck, havent found many curvy roads in are area. Unless you are taking about the levey but water on both sides doesnt make you feel good driving two crazy.

Any how, Has anyone been able to look for a some new locations for the dyno.

OK we still haven't got any clear ideas on what we can do about Sat.

I was thinking about just having a group party somewhere and just hang out untill i can get a new place, This is going to take about 2-3 weeks to get worked into schedules.

I am going to try and find a place that will let each person pay for there own pulls because there isn't enuff people paying up front ( IE the reason the 20th got F'ed up)

Well guys, bad news we just aren't going to be able to make the quota for payments to hold the Dyno Day. We haven't lost hope, we are looking to secure a new date in the future. If you made payment already we have several options for refunds.

1.) Electronic, If you have paypal, I can instantly refund you.

2.) Check or cash. We can meet this weekend or I can mail you a check for the refund.

3.) Hold the payment. As I mentioned we are still trying to organize a dyno day in the near future. If you would like to be included for this event and remain locked in at the $55 rate we can hold the payment made until it can be utilized. Options 1 or 2 remain available at anytime if you choose this option.
