Any interest in a New England Mini Dyno Day?

Dave at Enhanced Street Performance emailed me on Thursday to ask if there might be interest in a Mini Dyno Day at their facilities in Sterling Massachussetts.

I'm not really enthused about "organizing" the event, but figured it wouldn't hurt to see what the interest level is. I'll be happy to attend, but if someone else wants to organize it, I believe they get free dyno time.

For the general attendees, there will be hotdogs & hamburgers, a good time hanging out and seeing other Minis from New England and if you want to dyno your car, I think he said it was $60 for two dyno runs and one Quarter mile run.

So how about it? Anyone in New England care to meet up in Sterling Mass for a fun Mini event?

Attend only or Attend and would pony up for a Dyno?

Also need to be able to make an estimate of two groups:

- How many would (or might) attend but not Dyno their car
- How many would be ready to pony up for a Dyno

Interest seems pretty weak at this time. I've got this posted across five forums and we don't yet have even 10 ready to dyno.

I'm suggesting we table this for the fall but consider planning a spring event.

In the meantime, I have a clutch to replace (again!). Have a Spec stage 2 that didn't even make it 2000 miles of daily trips to the grocery store. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...004#post655004
