As you know, Team Pedersen/Marvel was the lucky winner in last weekend's random drawing for the Round 4 dyno recertification. The Top 5 cars from both AI & CMC weekend races were eligible for the random drawing. Following Chris Marvel's win on Sunday, his hood was sealed and the car required to report to the dyno.

This morning, I witnessed the recertification at Houston Performance and am happy to report that the car was found to be within limits.

Per the AI rules, the highest reading for HP and TQ was used after 3 pulls in succession. In the interest of full disclosure, here are the results:

321.5 HP (Pull #2)
325.8 TQ (Pull #1)

Accordingly, his minimum weight requirements are:
321.5 HP X 9.5= 3054
325.8 TQ X 9.0= 2932

Minimim weight requirement for Team Pedersen/Marvel is now 3054...post-race the car weighed 3108. Unless performance changes are made and a new dyno sheet presented, Team Pedersen/Marvel now has a 321.8/325.8/3054 official dyno decal.

The inspection was conducted on a Dynojet 248c, in SAE Smoothing 5, on software version 6.03. These recert pulls were ~10 HP/TQ greater than his official dyno decal and further stress the need to provide for ample cushion to accomodate for dyno & scale variance between events.

Great job to our random dyno recert winners Team Pedersen/Marvel, Eric Varner and Todd Covini for staying within the limits and winning races thus far in the season! Who will be the next random dyno recertification winner??? Stay tuned and see you at Hallett!!!
