It looks like there's more support amongst the participants for a shorter cruise. I'll come up with an idea or two by tomorrow and see where the popular vote goes.

That is correct. 12:30 pm at the Bloedel Conservatory in Queen Elizabeth Park.

I will meet up with some of the Richmond folks at the northeast parking lot in Lansdowne Mall at 12:00 noon first and drive over to QE Park together to rendezvous with the rest of you.

The weather outlook is pretty good for tomorrow. We're expecting a good turnout with lots of nice cars and great people.

SUNDAY APRIL 19TH DYNO MEET UPDATE

There seems to be a little confusion on the hourly rate concept:

Regular dyno rate for 3 pulls per car is $130 ($100 + $30 setup fee)

Blitzkrieg is going to waive the setup fee for us, and give us an hourly rate of $100/hour.

On average it's about 2 cars an hour so it will work out to around $50 a person. The AWD cars may be slightly more expensive depending on the time it takes but we should be averaging 2 cars an hour I was told.

Hope that helps

Well, I've arranged to meet some of the other AMGs at 12, but I'm so close to there I could just pop by pretty much whenever.

See you tomorrow!

No worries, folks.

There's more to life than meeting up with a bunch of car nuts who steadfastly will not vote NDP.
