    2015 Houston Dyno Day?

    All set. Show up here with cash at 9am this Saturday, the 10th:
    Fast Automotive
    18309 Farm to Market 529
    Cypress, TX 77433

    I'll send a private note to you guys about the cost details. Trying not to make this a big party since we're getting a pretty sweet deal, but this remains open to any other NASA cars looking to get a compliance dyno.

    Who's in?
    Pranav
    Tilton
    Sean
    Francis
    Gary R

    --------------------------------------------------
    How does Saturday 1/10 sound to everyone? Shooting for 6-8 cars...

    I will call FAST up, they moved to a bigger shop near their old location:

    After we're done dyno-ing we can all take turns using their dedicated burnout box out back.

    If I recall correctly, last time it was $75 per three pulls. The issue is that if someone if a little over and needs a 4th or 5th pull, it hurts. We have tried to divide the cost evenly between all comers. I know, that's communist, but it sucks to think you are paying $75 and end up at $150. See if you can get a deal for $600 for five hours (9am until 2pm), with no more than 10 cars. That's two cars an hour, $60 each. If we are short cars, we divide the $600 by whoever shows up, or if we have 8 cars, but two cars pull extra, etc. Tell him that we can help with straps if necessary so that he only needs a dyno operator.

    Damn that sucks, the shop I use in Dallas(Arlington) is Redline, it's an import place but they charge me $50/hr and I operate the dyno.
