Dyno Day - NAME DAT POWA!
Well I think everyone has been following the thread on Hughes POS (I mean.... race car!!!!) DSM. If you have not, read up because we will be having a little game show this Saturday during the dyno day. It will be held price-is-right style, but it will be called NAME DAT POWA!!!
NAME DAT POWA! will be held at some random point during the day, whenever the apparently sand-blasted POS rolls onto the dyno. We'll semi-randomly pick 5 contestants, and they will line up and get a chance to NAME DAT POWA! The rules are simple; it'll be price-is-right style rules. You must guess what the peak WHP output of the laZer is without going over.
So for example, the 5 contestants pick these power levels:
1) 672whp
2) 888whp
3) 544whp
4) 545whp
5) 400whp
These are all appropriate guesses, of course....and then the laZer gets on teh dyno for its 3 pulls (or whatever). We'll take the highest number, and if say that number was 669whp, contestant #4 would be the winner!
The prize? We're still unsure, but sponsors have promised us stuff like ANEWCAR, ACARIBBEANCRUISE, ASUITEOFNEWKITCHENAPPLIANCES, or other similar great, enthusiastic, mouth-full-of-words-and-excitement type prizes.
Once the contestants are chosen, they will be able to receive recommendations from the crowd, just like The Price Is Right.
Lame? Yes.
Fun? Yes.
See you all there!

Re: Dyno Day - NAME DAT POWA!
Also, one more thing. At the dyno day, Hughes cannot answer *any* questions about his car. You must gather all info by either looking at the car, or talking to others. Some sneaky individuals will be able to work the system on this, but they may not necessarily be chosen to be in the contest!  |

Re: Dyno Day - NAME DAT POWA!
i guess it breaks rolling onto the dyno, so my guess is 0hp. LOL
The prize isnt going to be like it was the first year at Elite (maybe the second year) where someone was promised a new car and got a hot wheels or something like that. LOL

Re: Dyno Day - NAME DAT POWA!
Everyone is allowed to play. I think we'll make it interresting and have the owner of the car pick the contestants. Everyone else will be in the crowd, and be allowed to shout whatever numbers they want while each individual is trying to decide what their number should be. |

All that info is in my project thread. I will be dynoing the car as it is while driving around the streets. BP 92-octane is the only gas the car ever gets. |
