WOW!! What a fun day--Aside form the traffic problems (no thanks NCDOT) from closing a major interstate ramp to the shop without posting nor telling anyone--which BTW cause a few to be late and a little lost--we all had fun ....
I want to extend my sincere thanks from all of us to Ralph Maya who sponsored us today and feeding us those great grill items----for those who missed it--Ralph got burnt on his right inside arm and eyebrows when he raised the grill top on initial check of the "fire" conditions---needless to say he got a suprise --so we further extend our thanks for takening the heat for us on that one--and take care with that arm .....we believe he will as his eyes are much sharper now.......( sorry--couldn't help it)
And to add to the excitement, a traffice accident right out in front of the shop with the cars sliding almost into the fence surrounding the shop......
Even though alot of members couldn't make our 1st dyno, we still had Butch and Proudcop(John), from Greensboro, both over 100 mile trip, and fastblackmerc (Jim) from Cary -who drove 180 miles one way --shoulda had an extra meal award for that effort!! .. Agent M79 (Dave), local member , myself, and a suprise new member who is transferring from Texas to live just outside limits of Charlotte, Russell Pryor , AKA on the board as 03MMCORPUS ....so we are excite to gain another mew member and meet Russell. ( hope I didn't miss anyone)
OK...Well Butch got on board with an anxiously awaited dyno and was excited with the results , especialy since it yielded more to come cause of a small glitch--I will let him explain--but his numbers afterwards will be right up there.. and of course Butch's license plate got plenty of comments...
Jim ( fastblackmerc) got his dyno as well and also has some great results--I will let them both speak of their findings and future plans with them....
Due to time constraints and problems already mentioned , Proundcop wasn't able to get his dyno done in time to get on the road back to G'boro--but we'll have another dyno day ...so not to worry--
The main emphasis was to have fun and meet and see some MM gets some power results---and get aquainted with CPRACING staff and their offerrings--I think everyone feels a bit more aware now of another source for us to turn to for our needs locally--we have been needing this for a long time.
Ralph told me afterwards that he was happy to have us there and would enjoy it again some day and to call anytime for assistance or if you have questions-- if you can't reach him --try me--I go by the shop every day on the way home---- ok --thats my wrap up---
(thanks goodness--who said that!) :lol:
