Hey everyone,

Instead of doing a cruise this month, we've decided to do a dyno day at Racers Edge Tuning on Saturday, February 21st. The plan is to be at the shop from 9a.m. to 5p.m. on the dyno, and then we will caravan over to our normal meeting spot at Nick's Burger in Fullerton for the meet between 6:00p.m. and 6:30p.m. The address for RET is:

Racers Edge Tuning
11434 Downey Ave Downey Ca 90241
562-445-7001

and the address for Nick's Burger is:

Nick's Burger
1712 W. Orangethorpe Ave
Fullerton, CA 92833

For the dyno day the shop can handle a maximum of 45 cars. The cost for the dyno is 3 pulls for $45. For all those planning on running their cars I am requiring everyone to register here. In order to register you must be a registered user on the site. Registration is extremely easy and should take you less than 45 seconds. If anybody has a problem signing up or registering please shoot me an email at SeanPlunk@gmail.com. For all those that sign up, please bring cash on the dyno day. Exact change is preferred as it allows the guys at RET to cycle through the cars faster and reduces down time.

I am really looking for a wide variety of different makes and models to keep things interesting, so please don't hesitate to sign up regardless of what you drive. Sorry to our AWD friends, but this dyno is only for FWD and RWD vehicles (if you want to stop by the shop and hang out though, we'd love to have you along). For all the participants we will be taping every car run. We will not only be taping the car itself, but we'll have a second camera on the computer monitor as it spits out the results. We'll cut the two sets of videos together after the meet and all the videos will be posted in our videos section afterwards.

At the shop we will provide some sodas and water. As far as lunch is concerned we haven't decided what we want to do yet, but I'm including a poll on the main thread here so please vote if you're coming and we'll make a decision in the next week or two.

We've had a lot of fun at the meets with a really wide variety of cars and all makes and models. We're looking for the same diversity for this, so I hope to see you all out there. Here and here are pictures from the last meet and here and here are videos from our last cruise. Whether you want to dyno or you just want to hang out with a bunch of cars guys, I hope to see you on Feb. 21st

 

These meets are very casual with many fifferent makes showing up...I highly recommend it!

 

I shall be there ready to dyno the 55, likely with a few other cars

 

If they want to dyno, make sure to please have them sign up so I can make sure we don't have too many people

 

Here is the last video from the last meet.

MOAR Mercedes! hell even if you don't want to dyno, haha

 

Alright everyone, 72 hour bump. For those attending, I am trying to work a schedule with basically 5 cars going per hour from 9 until 6 with an hour lunch break either at noon or 1. If anyone has a preference for what part of the day they would like to try to go please post it in this thread.

I will do my best to accommodate everyone but it may not be perfect. I will wait for those attending to reply either today or tomorrow before putting the schedule together on Friday. Also for those attending please try to bring exact change because it allows things to move more quickly when Greg isn't having to go make change for everyone. Remember it's $45 for the 3 pulls. Also remember if you guys have extra folding chairs to bring those too. You'll get tired of standing after an hour or two and there isn't enough room in the waiting area for all of us at one time. We're planning on setting up some tables outside though so people can hang out. We still have about 10 spots left to dyno if anyone else would like to come and join us. Please sign up here if you're interested.

After we finish at the dyno we're going to cruise over to Nick's Burger for the meet and should arrive before 6:30p.m. Nick's is in Fullerton for anyone who wants to come join us. Here is the address:

Nick's Burger
1712 W. Orangethorpe Ave
Fullerton, CA 92833

If anyone has any questions shoot me an email or give me a call. All my info is in the OP. Thanks again everyone.

Sean

 

I'm keeping track in a spreadsheet here. As people request certain times I'll update it. For the slots that are open we'll just do first come, first serve throughout the rest of the day for the remaining registered users.

I think a good size group of us will be there all day if people just want to stop by and hang out for a while

 

This is my final bump for this. For all attendees please remember to BRING CASH (correct change $45 if possible) to keep things moving smoothly. For those that have requested a certain time I have been slotting you in on the spreadsheet here.

I want to thank everyone for allowing me to continue posting about the event over the last couple months - I hope I'm not annoying all of you too much.

For anyone not going to the dyno, the meet starts at 6:30 at Nick's Burger in Fullerton. I know a good sized group of us are heading that direction after the dyno so it should be a good one. If anyone is interested in getting some numbers I think we still some spots left. Register here if you're interested. Thanks again for all the feedback and participation

Next month on the 7th we'll be at the Street Legals at California Speedway for anyone that wants to be taped, and on the 14th of March will be the next meet and we're doing another cruise (probably at least in part up PCH). I'll see you all Saturday.

 

Here are the first couple sample videos. We will roll out videos for everyone over the next week or so. Thanks again to everyone who participated
