Thanks for letting us spectate it was a fun time. Maybe next time I'll have something worthy to put up on the dyno.

Maybe next time I'll have something worthy to put up on the dyno.
Don't feel that way, its all in good fun. There were a lot more low-power cars that high-power cars dynoing and as far as I know everyone had fun and didn't regret it. I feel my $60 was well spent :)

I want to see a video of the car almost flying off. I was standing right in front of the car so Im shure I had one of the priceless looks.

Too bad I missed this as well, sounds like it was a blast. Swanny I'm going to be trying to throw together my car here soon as I get home, and get her up on that dyno

I really hope there was video of Ashanson's car. Holy crap I was soo freaked out. I didn't think cars would do that up there but after it was explained it made a lot of sense! Glad that car was ok though!

Was a strap missed or something? How did it happen?

Sorry to say but I did not get video of the frog car (i.e. the one that tried to jump off the dyno!), but I do have pretty good footage of it on it's next run, where it's shimmying back and forth. Maybe Barton or someone else got some footage?

The car had a serious alignment issue. Usually AWD cars tend to walk a bit on the dyno, thats why we put 4 straps on them. (2 side straps, 2 rear straps). The first time, Justin just had slight steering input, and when the car hit boost it pulled HARD to the left.
The 2nd run, I got in it, because I"ve never seen this. I had a bit of an advantage becasue I was expecting it. The car pulls very hard one way. The 3rd time we stretched out the dyno a bit more to see if that was the issue. It did the same thing.
He had just had it recently aligned, and we are thinking it could have a toe issue.
