Dyno Day in SoCal

Have any of you SoCal guys seen this?

Guy is putting together a dyno day.
https://mbworld.org/forums/events-gatherings/255663-socal-2wd-dyno-day-long-beach-food-drinks-available-09-07-08-a.html

Looks like something to do.

good find. i barely check the events section. For $50 to check the health of your motor is a good deal. I'm in.

We should make this a mini meet.

I’d like to tag along to watch you dial in its cam. Pleased to lend a hand if need be.

No dyno for mine – I’m preserving its WOT virginity for Willow the following week.

Perhaps we can dine together afterwards at a local dive. Phil will know of one.

if it weren't for the fact that i am afraid to move to california due to A) some random fire burning my house down; or B) an earthquake causing cali to just break off and float out into the ocean- i would be there in a heartbeat. you guys have all of the good meets.
