That is not the case. I know of no "standard" that can be placed on the dyno to check how accurate it is.Quote:
This may be where NASA has "approved" dyno centers who actively validate the numbers their dyno is showing, compared to the manufactures baseline...
Agreed Richard ... you can't accurately measure the exact HP/TQ of a car on ANY dyno ... calibrated or not.Quote:

I have a solution...

It is true that I really would not be able to hold an intelligent discussion about dynos but neither can any of you in my opinion. How many times have peopole said "horsepower does not matter". My advice is to prepare your car according to the rules, prepare yourself, and go race. Most of you are only making excuses for your lack of preparation, both technically and mentally. Some people will never have the skills or the balls to run flat out. May the best man/woman win. Good luck this year 'winers'.
My point exactly... If the dyno's aren't regularly "certified" as being within the DynoJet mfg tolerance, it could lead us down the wrong path (think along the lines of the Plano Kwik Kar dyno... :roll: )Quote:

And trust me, I know the story behind that dyno.

Having a methodology that removed question about that validity would make the racing more enjoyable, don't you think?
Not really. What we're really talking about are very small percentage differnces from one car to the other. What really ticks us off is people questioning your honesty rather than recognizing that you have prepared your car and yourself and giving you the respect you deserve.
Try using something like Trag Mate and you can see very clearly where and why one person is really faster than the others. We used that a lot the last two years to find where we could improve. Looks like maybe it worked. What you can not measure are the intangibles which are where the real differnces are. You'll are barking up the wrong tree.
I'm surprised no one has not mentioned the fact that Michael and Jeremy did not dyno with the other guys but together at another place. I'm sure they will be questioned when they start beating everyone. And then maybe not. I would not because I believe they are skilled drivers and that is why they will dominate.
I've had my say. I'm done.
