A trip to the Solo 2 SCCA Nationals in Topeka is a humbling experience. No matter how good you might be at the local level there are people so fast it's just incredible. The top drivers just attack the course. There's no holding back at any time. They attack attack attack.

I will unfortunately not be going to Hershey afterall. too much time-sensitive work to get done.

Well, if I'm able to make the run Paul, I have a few extra ponies to play with...

Was up at Kevin's the other day sorting out a few details from the clutch swap / trans rebuild, and we decided to make a DME fuel switch change on the '84 Cab... ran right down to the dyno & the results (green curve):

So, now it looks like I've got to get the tach repaired, the thing's going from being off rpms to not working at all sometimes (tap the glass & it's better). Can't seem to find a big issue elsewhere, so might just be gauges. Was pretty unnerving having to go by the tach on the dyno's computer instead of mine, but was like the trumpets of Jericho with open exhaust at WOT.

Anyway all, hope everyone in the group's doing well, hope to see you on the 17th!

I'm tentative for the Cape run since I am towing to Mid-Ohio and back this weekend and my attendance depends on how things go with that trip.

I'm still looking forward to meeting you guys.

Me also! Just went Saturday to have my rebuild dyno'ed. Would be interesting to compare apples to apples, (using the same dyno). What do they charge per hour? Here's my run chart plus they videotaped it.

pretty sure I am in for the 17th.

84_Carrera · 05-06-2008, 06:27 AM

John charges $75 for a few straight pulls w/ air/fuel. Not sure if that's the typical for an hour, but then I'm usually 30 minutes drive-in to drive-out, unless I've got lots of things to mess with. Before they changed hands & moved to Douglas, NED charged... $125 / hr I think, for whatever you wanted to, basically. I think it was still < $100 when I did the multiple exhaust configurations pulls a couple of years ago (Bursch, Fabspeed dump tip, stock, cat & cat bypass).

I did ask him about putting together a 2WD 911 Dyno Day at some point this spring / summer, and he's all for it, they roll out the BBQ Grill & spend the day BS'ing with everyone. Discounted pulls, of course.

Sounds very cool. Maybe we can talk about doing one on the 17th. Looking forward to meeting you.

911Rips · 05-12-2008, 03:25 PM

This Sat, the 17th, 9:00AM meeting at Peter Smiths' house in Sandwich. A few guys are meeting me in Duxbury at my house to drive down together, meeting at my house at 8:00AM. Please PM me for directions to Peters' house or mine.

911Rips · 05-16-2008, 03:44 PM

It looks like the rain is out of here early tomorrow. We should be good for our Run tomorrow. Please PM me for Peter Smiths' address for starting point. He is in Sandwich, just over the Sagamore Bridge, Cape Cod.

That says it all - good times!

dezzmo · 05-18-2008, 10:13 AM

I'd like to thank everybody for a great day yesterday, it was a lot of fun. But when we left the restaurant I had to stop at a crosswalk for pedestrians and didn't notice which road everyone took! I tried to catch up but it was too late and I ended up losing you guys

All in all, it was a lot of fun
