Supras are fine.

In the legal department it is important to know that the Gabby's we frequent is also a favorite dining location of HPD and Harris County Sherrifs as well. So just come on out with your daily driver, plenty of us roll that way.

They have been closed down for about 3-4 months now. So there is NO Dynapack working in Houston.

I may just roll out with the Ranger then, unless I can get the 7 at least insured and inspected by then ( I do state inspections, so emissions is no prob ) .

They may not be answering the phones, there may only be 2/4 of the bay doors open, but they are there. From what I've heard they are trying to finish up some of the higher end projects out of the 100 billion cars that are parked there. But I'm sure that if you just rolled up and wanted to rent a few dyno pulls they would be down. $75 for three pulls with a wideband If I remember correctly.

when chuck went to check on the dyno about two months ago he said they were out of business.

So unless they re-opened they are still closed.

But if they are open I want to rent it for 1/2 day not just 3 pulls, you can't get much done with 3 pulls

The problem in Houston is the lack of good dyno's, know one has a DYNAPACK

When I'm working at the track it's my business to know what's going on. I know who belongs and who doesn't I work most of the events that come through there as well as the SCCA/NASA races and whatnot.

It was nice meeting you today, your right about the next few days these are going to be some long hours. Let Davy or Roberto loose on the track with the Bonneville XF, I'd like to see how it pulls going down the back straight. muahaha.

Regarding the humidity, two words: We suffer.

If you want, you can go in the display with me in the morning(or after the day is done), and take as many pics as you want. They are sitting with the parking lights on and the cars a lit so the grills are highlighted. It looks fairly cool for a faguar display.
