Since Top Gun is running after the first few groups I think I am going to put the ole Merc on the Dyno in the morning; Dynamics Dyno's read lower than Mustang right?

Last weekend on a Mustang Dyno I was @ 441RWHP - 451RWTQ... in chicago 3 weeks back @ CPT when my air fuel was all jacked up i was only reading 363rwhp and 401rwtq

I saw that, and it kind of sucks, because I had my wife talked into a bunch of mods to keep up next year! Oh well, I would probably have been bumped into Class A then.

Event

Did anyone else put their cars on the dyno? Alumar, did you get a chance to talk to Mike Alsop? I got him there, but they were not very happy about him showing up late.

- One of my fav autocross runs... get nearly airborne, overcook the turn then lay on the power ..made the crowd happy, got a crappy time that run though

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbPOv0_t_b0

Fastest autocross run...where I take 3rd place in Slalom in "Top Gun" Class

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtSIn...eature=related

My low 12 sec 1/4 run ... on street tires (obviously having an issue still cause i only get a 112 trap vs my normal 115-117)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e_Q7...eature=related

I dont think I ever saw you, I saw your shirt at the end of the video, but I dont remember seeing you! I checked out your car when it was in the staging lanes at the end of the drag racing event but you were no where to be found. (your hood was up). I did out my car on the dyno, I think your class was autocrossing at the time......
