Thanks again to all the sponsors and members that made this happen, and thank you MAP for hosting us! This event was put on FOR FUN and I think most everyone that was there had a blast! It got to be a long day but in the end everyone that wanted to run got to and I saw a ton of smiles all day. I didn't get a TON of pics as usual since I was constantly trying to find cars to get into the queue for the dyno and keep everyone happy. I know I had more than a few moments where people asked me how many cars had gone or how many were left or how much the last car put down on the dyno and I just threw my arms up with no idea, SO sorry if I was short with ya. Honestly the list just kept growing and growing so the schedule of who was going on when had to change with it. I will say I feel really bad about the non-mitsus dyno'ing mid-day and then getting the evoX's get pushed back so far. Thanks everyone for hanging out and being so cool!
With that said, I think we're going to continue to optimize how we run this event to try and make it as smooth sailing for everyone as possible! I have had a few volunteers step up and I think I'm going to fully utilize them come next spring.
Quick question: was anyone super pissed/let down that we ran out of food? It seems like if we do not sell all of what we have we (mitsustyle as a whole) lose money on the whole food thing. This year we actually turned a relatively decent profit ($51 LOL) and this money goes straight back into the community here, so LMK if anyone has any pro/con comments there.
Anyways, onto the results:

Mark Leasure with the first DSM on the rollers took the trophy w/ his massive-turbo'd 1G...787whp/589wtq!...I didn't get a very good look at the car but it seemed fairly streetable...Nice work man:
Mark had trouble earlier in the week but miraculously got it together to lay down a run @37psi. Blackrosenova also canceled the same day as mark with a blown tranny, but showed up as well laying down some impressive numbers (497whp)! The last surprise was Oleg's 2G, which was out of the running due to ignition break-up but could have snagged Mark's trophy since he pulled it together and got it on the rollers around 7pm with what? SOME ZIP TIES. Damn I love DSMs. He put down a staggering 570whp at a mere 26psi.
Other top dyno-dawgs were the 3 stock-frame turbo'd evos putting down ~500whp and the vette and supra that showed up...beautiful cars, also right around 500whp.
I don't know if anyone saw, but there was a Silverado that went on the rollers right away in the morning that had one of those electric superchargers on it...if you're on here, post up some info about that beast!
DSM Pull-off this time we used lil Andy Nash's FWD 1G with great success, and Mike Blageo and Kerry Eldstrom(95talonracer) pulled off a show-stopping 8.79 ET. Nice work guys!
Next dyno day is in May 2010, see you guys there!
