Author Topic: Bay Area Dyno Day at Altamont Raceway (Livermore) on July 3rd and 4th NCDA ¯ Member # 3873 posted                              Racetune.net has agreed to bring out his Dynapack 3000 Chassis Dynamometer to Freedom Drift! All makes and models are welcome to participate, preregistration via forum confirmation will reserve you a spot. Spread the word, ANYONE is welcome, if not to dyno, come hang out, check out some drifting, and what dynoing a car entails. Price will be $55 for 3 horsepower pulls. Printouts and tuning suggestions included in the cost. (This does not include admission into Altamont Motorsports Park, or the event Freedom Drift.) The Dynapack is attached directly to the wheel hubs, thereby overcoming all the disadvantages of tire distortion including noise, torque steer, loss of traction, tire heat and variations in tire design and wear. Direct coupling eliminates the need to estimate torque and enables the dynamometer to make very sensitive readings over a very wide range of engine speeds. With no tire roller interface the results are more precise and are repeatable. This is the type of dyno Auto manufacturers utilize for its precision, repeatability, and accuracy. Take advantage of this RARE opportunity. Sign up early as time/space may be limited. -------------------- 01 Cobra [IMG]http://www.theoryseven.com/rokm/sylynt/ncda.jpg[/IMG] Posts: 12 | Registered: Dec 2003  |  : wilit Mustang Messiah Member # 3367 posted                                 FYI, when we did the dyno day at Racetune a few months ago, the guy had a HUGE problem getting some of the cars on the dyno. Some of the older stangs barely fit. A few of the cars didn't fit. -------------------- "If a man hasn't found something worth dying for, he isn't fit to live." - Martin Luther King Jr. Posts: 4793 | From: 37.78514° North 122.40100° West | Registered: Oct 2003  |  : NCDA ¯ Member # 3873 posted                              I'm pretty sure you're mistaken about any clearance issues as this is a chassis Dyno, but I will ask Frank from Racetune.net about any such problems. I may be wrong, in either case I'll update here shortly. For more event info please go to www.NCDA.net . Dyno details will be updated as new information is gathered. -------------------- 01 Cobra [IMG]http://www.theoryseven.com/rokm/sylynt/ncda.jpg[/IMG] Posts: 12 | Registered: Dec 2003  |  : wilit Mustang Messiah Member # 3367 posted                                 http://www.californiafords.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=015684;p=1 Sorry man, I was there. It took an hour just to hook up Bryan's LeMans without crushing the fenders. Jason's fastback fit with about 1/4" between the dyno and the lip of his fenders. Kevin's Nova couldn't even think of making it onto the dyno because of his shortened rear end. Frank's a nice guy, and it was a fun day. I'm not trying to steal money from his pocket, I'm just warning people their cars may not fit on the dyno, because it happened on our last dyno day. -------------------- "If a man hasn't found something worth dying for, he isn't fit to live." - Martin Luther King Jr. Posts: 4793 | From: 37.78514° North 122.40100° West | Registered: Oct 2003  |  : NCDA ¯ Member # 3873 posted                              Oh, ok, gotcha, I was confused thinking it was a lowered car issue. But I understand now, and could see that potential problem, an hub to fender distance issue. To clarify, for MOST car this shouldn't be an issue. I could see problems for shortened rear ends, extreme wide fender flares, or yes, older cars that typically use a very low offset wheel (a big distance from hub to fender). Frank should be available for comment soon. Thanks again! -------------------- 01 Cobra [IMG]http://www.theoryseven.com/rokm/sylynt/ncda.jpg[/IMG] Posts: 12 | Registered: Dec 2003  |  : cobra99 ¯ Member # 2356 posted                              where is Altamont Motorsports Park.id love to bring my new 03 cobra down there.. thanks shaun -------------------- '03 10th anniv black cobra convert steeda tri ax shifter magnaflow catback 18in chrome adr wheels tint Posts: 209 | From: san luis obispo, san jose is my hometown though | Registered: Jan 2003  |  : cobra99 ¯ Member # 2356 posted                              never mind im retarded livermore like the post says -------------------- '03 10th anniv black cobra convert steeda tri ax shifter magnaflow catback 18in chrome adr wheels tint Posts: 209 | From: san luis obispo, san jose is my hometown though | Registered: Jan 2003  |  : NCDA ¯ Member # 3873 posted                              Saweet!
