so...this is inside a parking garage?

i would like a spot inside, gonna show up early to try and pick my spot if possible.

hotboxn

if you roll up as a group, i'll get you guys together. The closer to 11 the better chance you have of getting a spot. Christian is going to be on the dyno, so he'll be away from you guys up on the top level, but I should be able to get you all together if you're there early enough. See you all there! oh and to answer your question Grip, the top is open, but the next 3 floors down obviously are covered.

ok hotboxn, figure at the very least me, don and christian rolling in together as to get us the 3 spots (we can hold christians while hes on the dyno if thats how it works). im gonna call kurato today and see wahts goin on with him and his crew, so we may have 1-5 more coming in the group. did you need any volunteers helping out? or if anyone else wanted to roll in together give me a call tonight or tomorrow morning 630-768-8077

hotboxn

Sounds good I'll set you guys up w/ 5 spots txt me if anything changes 224.678.3400 We are good with help for the show. Thanks for the offer though. The village of palatine wants all the cars that will be on the dyno to stay in a designated area so they are not driving through people to get up to the dyno, so Christians car will have to stay up there unfortunately. See you guys tomorrow!

well I hope that the show was good. I wasn't able to make it out as I just got back from Japan last night and was jet-lagged like all hell. I at least wanted to swing by as a spectator but I didn't wake up till 3:30 today.

Someone post pics when they get a chance!

Moy

I showed up late, had to pick up an engine first. Showed up to the garage the the engine and hoist in back of the van hahaha.

Some very very very nice 7's there. Only saw a few, but still... damn.

And to the guy who dyno'd the red FD... looks and sounds sick!

boosted414

iTrader: (30)

Red FD was christian (hes on the forums here.. just forget which name). He put down a lovely 439hp (uncorrected, hot day). While cruising more of my other local forums here was a complaint registered by a spunky lil fella in a type r turbo..

"And highest HP was given out before the last car was dyno'd (dyno'd in the past with over the RX7's power) "

my response was: lrn2sign up in advance

Grip

iTrader: (9)

yeah, the guy in the Hype-R wasn't very smart anyways, he waited until everyone was done on the dyno at 5pm, and they were handing out trophy's to try and dyno for the highest horsepower trophy.

his plan: "i was waiting all day to see what the highest #'s were so i could jump in line last, and set the record"

his plan backfired, and he got salty..haha

it was good meeting some of you today, i suck at remembering names, but you know who you are.

88blkiroc

pics?

boosted414

iTrader: (30)

i think "mondo" (thats what he was referred to as on another board" was afraid the malibu was gonna rape on horsepower which is why he didnt jump in line earlier

hotboxn

Here's the thing about they HP award. I went to the type r's car and the mustangs car before deciding on Christians and asked what they estimated they would put down and if they thought they'd be even remotely close to 439 and they both said no way, so i dont get why the heck he would be bitching about that, but like you guys said...sign up in advance just like it said on the flyers. Guess he just didnt get it . Amazing 7 Christian. Def put down some nice power. I was across the 5th level and knew right away after the 1st pull it was the best one of the day. Thanks goes to all of you that showed. Your support went to a great cause! Hope to see you next year at the next show.

Thanks again,
Justin

ill be back next year.

can i suggest the class's be judged differently? maybe make it a viewers choice next year?

Railgun

Thanks Justin for the great show. You can bet that we'll be there next year in much stronger numbers.

I didn't even know the dyno was any kinda competition 'til I got there. I just wanted to know what I was putting down.

hotboxn

Thanks for the input Grip, I'll def talk to the guys about it. It'd be pretty tough to have a viewers choice because of the number of people there and then we would need time to count them, but i'll see if we can figure out some way to do it. Awards were def a problem at the show. They needed more time to look at each car. We will prob extend the show next year to adapt to that problem.

Thanks again guys!

railguns dyno run.

using SAE corrected #s (84 degrees, 24.71 in/hg absolute pressure, 0.121 vapor pressure) puts his horsepower at 540 at the wheels (mind you this is corrected for ideal conditions)

:P

That Type R guy was seriously complaining? C'mon! The malibu put out 407 and it pulled so strong it was spinning the tires on the dyno.

I really thought the SR5 (? WTF is that on a 4runner or something) Camry/corolla that put out the whopping 85HP should have won an award.

Kuratos FC is sweet! 2 awards for the guy who left early!

I definitely enjoyed the show.

im not on the Type-R guys side, but to be honest, there is a good chance that turbo Type-R could have put down the most power of the day....he should have just got inline for the dyno earlier and actually put down some numbers, instead of waiting until the end of the day to try and dyno, then complain about it when the awards were given out before he could get on the roller.

whatever, its stupid drama.
