Just letting Y'ALL know this GL member will be there, not with my super ('cause she's blown) but helping out/supporting another Canadian aircooler, doing the long haul again.

Last year, i was dissapointed that it was said, everyone competing had to run mufflers and fanbelts. Those that placed top 3 pulled their belts and 4th spot belonged to my fanbelted, mufflered 2332. We pulled the car 16+hrs to attend the dyno/showdown events, to follow the rules and get snubbed was disappointing.

I tried to get the on the rollers again to pull the belt, and was not allowed to. I know i could have won, i was less than 10hp away turning a 911 fan.

I don't think this event should be boycotted by anyone in the aircooler scene. I ranted once upon a time, when the VKG/BKC issue was going on, saying i will not attend again. Truth is, there are not many HP events like this around my parts so i have to travel to hear ACVW's scream. Attended: Florida's VKG Dyno day at Fishers, Georgia's Dyno day and Street challenge, and Vegas a couple months back for the show/race. You guys don't know how lucky you are.

Will anyone of you guys come up to Toronto to support our event?

See-ya next month. Can't wait to see BRE run again. Should be fun.

For the record, I asked about when would be the latest one could sign up because mid-August may be a date I could attend.

For the record, no one answered -- not even with an "I don't know yet" or "We need ten by a certain date" or "We have a certain number as a cutoff" or something.

That high-sounding pep-talk contained within said thread becomes pretty stinking hollow when an interested party is ignored.

Sorry no one answered. I don't know. We have a meeting coming up in a couple weeks, and i'm sure Lanner (Flat) will share the details. We've talked about a Dyno Day for a couple years, and this announcement has been a great surprise to everyone.

Here's a pic from outside Allspeed last year (photo from sevwa.com):

Thanks for the support Pete, it dont go unnoticed.

We have rules this year about the belts and mufflers which WILL be enforced. We also have the dyno all day so extra pulls can be made at no cost.

Hey guys!
Still could use a few more folks to help.
Dave and wrenchride is going to be in charge of the show car parking in the morning. I need a few judges too.
Hope some of you can make it out. Looks like it is going to be another good event!

Anyone else going? Step right up.
Wrench, his crew and I will be watching the old school cars run Sat. night, having a couple cold brews and camping. I have the audio system done in the bus ao we will have to see how many tunes can be played before the aux. battery runs out. 3 massive amps (1360 watts total), 2 ea. 12 inch subs and 8 ea. full range speakers. I think I could heat up my breakfast in the bus with that system. :agree:
