Charity Dyno Day - Thanks to everyone!

Well, after much screwing around and one year hiatus, the GB Transmisions charity dyno event is back on. We are planning on having it on the 27th, 28th, and 29th of August (the date has been changed below to Sept. 10-12). We will have two dynos available for use with proceeds being split between two charities. The Ronald McDonald House in Rochester, MN and Camp Sunnyside in Iowa. These are the same charities we've always donated proceeds to.



We will have contests (anyone have any good suggestions for contests, I'm game), door prizes, and prizes for different categories. Most HP in the respective classes of competition.



The cost of entry will be $50 (we've had to raise it to accomodate some rises in expense costs). The entry fee includes dyno runs, lunch, and drinks (non-alcoholic of course). We are going to handle the dyno runs in this way. There will be a signup list. You get your runs with a 20 minute maximum time frame. You can then go do your mods, or tuning and come back on the machine after everyone else has run (basically you put your name back on the list) for no additional charge.

Sorry about this, but one tons will be limited to the portable unit that I'm bringing. Good news is that you won't have to take off your training wheels as in past years.



I will need some help (alot of help) with this event. If there are any volunteers, please let me know. In fact, Dave and I will be the only ones that will know how to run the dynos. And Dave will be busy with the crowd. So I will need a volunteer that will be willing to learn about the mods to Dave's machine. I will be the only one running the portable unit. We will also need people to help load and unload trucks from the machines. There will be some other odds and ends that will need to be covered, but I think I should be able to handle most of it.



Please stay tuned to this thread for Camping and logistical information. I'll get all that to you guys as soon as I am able. Hope to see you there

AARG... I just checked my calender... I can't make it. I previously told my softball team I'd play in a tourney with them. I'd back out but one of our 11 players broke his collar bone over the weekend. Sorry guys... I wanna..... :(

Guys... . The Dyno Aron is bringing is a good unit. We ran 23 or 24 trucks on it this past weekend. Many in the 300hp range, and 3 very close/over 400. Took them no problem. I was VERY impressed at how it put down accurate numbers. As usual people were skeptical. We put a Bone stock 2001HO up there and ran it. 199. 8hp, I don't remember the torque. If you do the math... . 20%loss through the driveline... . it is very accurate.

If you want to dyno an automatic, I would suggest that you put in a "mystery switch" (torque converter locking switch) before you get there. I haven't put one in yet, but I understand that they are pretty easy to install. It makes it much easier to get an accurate number for your run.



I wish I would have thought of it before last weekend. That's the only thing that kept me off the rollers.
 
Would be fun but I am afraid there is no way I can make it. That is Rum River grass drags and I have alot to sell that weekend. Figures that it is just my luck... ... ... ... ... ... have fun guys.
 
I'll probably make it. Will you be running the dyno all 3 days? I do a few items to bolt on... Where will the camping be this year? Training wheels = no wheel spin..... hehehehehehehe



Grass drags? What do you run? I have a few treasures to get rid of too.
 
I already have reservations at the Terre Haute KOA

I won't make this one, I'm going to be at Scheid's. I already have reservations at the KOA, and will be there Thursday-Sunday :D
 
Well, I can see this is not going as well as I had hoped. Is there any other weekend you guys would like to try for? Say some time in September? Let me know. I'll hold the dates until we can get a better one picked out. I know that alot of the regular crowd will be gone for Scheid's and I want to see some of them. Not to mention, the more people we can bring, the better the donation for the charities.



Let me know.
 
I don't like seeing dates changed, but would be great. Like Sept 17, 18, 19, or after. I would say the weekend after Labor day but we have our truck pull that Friday night, and was hoping some of the local CTD owners that I know will came play. Along with that weekend is Hay Days for us sled heads.



Just keep us informed if you do change the date, I would love to roll them rollers again.
 
I agree with Spicy... I dont like seeing dates change either, but...



Spicy, when where is you local pull? Would I be invited? At least, I would like to come watch.

:cool:
