***Chicago MB Pre-Season Dyno Day / Meet 2K9 - APRIL 18th, 2009***

Gents,

It is with great pleasure that I would like to invite you all to the 2009 Chicago Pre-Season Dyno Day / Meet held by CPT. CPT will be graciously providing their facilities to us and we will be strapping down 9-10 various MBs and have plenty more around to check out. This may be one of our bigger meets to date so the more people who can make it out the better!

EVENT BEGINS AT 9AM DUE TO AMOUNT OF CARS THAT NEED TO DYNO. I WILL LIKELY HAVE MY SL DYNO'D FIRST AT 9AM, BUT AFTER THAT THE LIST BELOW REPRESENTS THE ORDER OF DYNOING. THAT MEANS ALUMAR YOU HAVE TO BE THERE NO LATER THAN 9:30AM!!! aleksandar YOU ARE NEXT AT 10AM, ETC!

We will be providing some food and drinks during the event! We will also have a photographer (Peter) on hand to take some videos/pics of the event for us as well.

CPT
5109 W. Lake Streeet, Unit B
Melrose Park, IL 60160
(708) 343-8677
http://www.gocpt.com

MAP: http://www.gocpt.com/contact.php

3 pulls are $75, add $25 if you want wideband!

Official List

1. Marcus R230 SL65
2. alumar W203 C55 K7
3. aleksandar1099 W211 E55
4. ENDSMTG W211 E55
5. nick 55 W220 S600 Kleemann
6. chitownwhiteC55 W203 C55
7. rberga1 W211 E55
8. RENNTech SL65 R230 SL65
9. MarkoCL65 W215 CL65 VRP825+
10. Few Possible Candidates

It is difficult to gauge what time things will wrap up, but afterwards I am going to propose a little drive from Melrose Park out for coffee. Maybe to the city, maybe to the burbs. Probably to the burbs, maybe Naperville - there's a 40-50 mile route we can take (all highway) with minimal toll roads that will give us the chance to have some fun and then hang out after the dyno.

Marcus

I scored some Cards/Cubs tickets for Saturday @ 2:30 ; so i will be jetting out of there around 1 to head over to that, but more than enough time to get the dyno and hang out for a few hours.

Question

Is anyone up for a Casino Cruise after the session?

We could go for a mocktail/cocktail reception at the lakehouse, then head over to the Four Winds casino......

Sounds great! Hopefully the weather will cooperate.....Mine is going to the shop tomorrow but should be done before Saturday. My SRS light is on and I need the minor service done. I also saw there is a new service bulletin for the supercharger squeal-replacing the belt pulley and flange. We'll see if it gets rid of the squeal. See you guys in the windy city!

If you are planning on adding any mods to your car down the line it never hurts to have a good baseline stock dyno run, this is the best way to gauge the progression of your mods. Just a thought, but if they have room or time have them throw it up there and make a few pulls.


Have fun guys, as I mentioned before I can't make the 18th, I am leaving for Miami on Friday morning and then off to Grand Bahama from there. Please post numbers.

Jim, what time should I pick up the car? You know you HAVE to represent the "big engine" cars in your home town. I promise I will take good care of it.
