Gauging interest for another South v North Dyno Day.

[pete sparrow]

Hello All.
There\'s been a bit of talk amongst some of the members of late about staging another North V South Dyno Day.
For those who haven\'t heard about these bhp battles,here\'s a little background guff.
We\'ve successfully done two of these so far,with Gurj having organised the first and myself the second.
The Northern Team won the first and the South completely tranced the north in round two:evillaugh
The second event was featured in Japenese Performance which was a great bit of publicity for the rotary cause..
Its sort of turned into a bit of a yearly event and has been held at Thor Racing nr Birmingham.This venue seems well postioned for both north and south as its sort of in the middle of the country. If anyone else has a location in mind just say.
Its not all about 500 horse FD\'S flexing their muscle,all other Mazda rotaries are more than welcome.
The dyno day usually happens on a saturday and takes till late afternoon to run all the cars. It takes about half n hour to bolt the car onto the hubs and do the run,so numbers are limited for each team. Will check with Pete at Thor and see how many cars we can run and the cost per car, thats if we get enough interest of course.
This will be based on a first come,first served basis with a reserves list per team,in the event of  anyone dropping out.
I\'m more than happy to organise this event and handle all monies etc etc.
So if your interested please put your name below and the team you\'d like to champion.
Cheers
Pete

How are the "scores" worked out, just out of interest? Is it an average of total horsepower divided by the number of cars on each team, or just the highest total, or biggest individual power, or wot? Cos if it\'s any sort of average, no-ones gonna want my old crap-heap letting their side down:Giggle!

 I\'d be interested even just to come along for the craic though. Be great to get a magazine to cover it, esecially after the recent utter lack of coverage they\'re giving the rotary scene. Show \'em what we\'re all about!:yes

[pete sparrow]

Total bhp divided by the amount of cars per team,thats why we should have equal numbers.
Should have said spectators are more than welcome,the more the merrier.
Not sure if we could get another magazine interested as the last event was in JP earlier this year.

I\'d love to do this again Just need to wait till Kev has his engine dropped in and tuned to a reasonable level. Give us Up north a fighting chance with Pete, Blitz, Warthog and others from down south !

what kind of date are we talking here?? i would be up for it, but i don\'t have a engine in at the minute with a lot of work planned

[pete sparrow]

Date depends on you guys mainly and when Thor can fit us in. Usually takes a couple of months to finalise all the details.

[marcusd666]

Sounds like good fun will just have to wait for the date till see if i can make it

[karl_tate]

ok, a couple of months and we will be into christmas and bad weather but im easy, all depends on how i get on with the car over the winter.

Sorry,but what has the weather got to do with it?

[karl_tate]

just some people may not want to travel, plus it gets dark early and with quite a few people there, which im sure there will be, i dont think they will want to stand outside thor looking at cars and chatting etc like i have seen in the previous events.

like i said, it doesn\'t bother me at all.

Maybe plan it to be in the 1st half of 2009. Good meet to get the year off with a bang :Giggle
