I got a chance recently to look at a newly laid slab of concrete. A whoping great slab...

This slab is soon to be a purpose built Volkswagen workshop.

In this slab is a nice big pit - and in the pit is going a dyno.

To celebrate the new shop when it opens the owner is going to have a Volkswagen Dyno Day!

It should be early 2005 if the weather stays typically dry.

YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT THE DYNO DAY WILL COST FOR THOSE VOLKSWAGEN OWNERS WHO WANT TO RUN THEIR CARS UP ON THE ROLLERS!
There has never been a dyno day - and never will be - which will match what is going to be offered!

More information as the time comes closer...

It's not just about HP barls. Although that's what most people would be interested in. The printouts can include HP & torque (called tractive effort when at the wheels) or HP and lambda - the air/fuel mix is of more interest as it lets you know if you are robbing power or running dangerously lean.

The last dyno day was great and this one should prove even better. The facilities will be much better for the spectators and getting on and off the dyno when it's in the ground will be much better than the ramps!

As the building gets closer to completion and a better idea of when it'll be the big surprise will be revealed.

It would be nice to see a few of those there, who talk alot about how their particularly influenced engines really go, Craig? are you out their..........Craig.

It would also be nice to see if some of the local race cars could get along like Dave Stokers car, Rods Penrose and the Vintage car as well. Then we could see how much horse power it takes to produce a 10 or 9 odd second car.

And just in case you don't know, don't worry because Dave dose, just ask him.

Type of Volkswagen shouldn't matter.

I will find out exact details as the building comes closer to completion.

2005 is getting closer...

Just to press the point, hold onto your shorts guys. You will be astounded by what will be on offer for the dyno day!

You will never get a chance like this again!
