Like I said, just set a goal, go for some extra fun cruises, the more stop-go traffic you can do the better. Try driving across the entire city on surface streets one night, that may not get you a ton of mileage, but will def get you to where you need to be with the break-in.

I remember when I had a mustang and TCS had dyno days you paid like $25-$30 for 2 or 3 pulls..
Ill be there shootin the shit tho!!  |

IDK where you guys had dyno days for $25-30, but there are several factors to consider:
-TCS = RWD, they can use a cheap dynojet. We are using an AWD dyno, which are never cheap, and more difficult to setup and run for each car on/off the dyno.
-its 2009, prices tend to go up over time.
-lastly, know that I've fought hard to keep the prices on everything down to keep this affordable. I have been organizing dyno days with local AWD dyno shops for the past 5 years, and it has always been $50/car, jumping to $55 only this year. Please remember that some of the money goes back into the site, prizes, trophies, etc, and often it is ME that ends up eating the loss every time. I try really really hard to brake even for the event, and it rarely happens.
Furthermore, comments like this honestly are hard for me to ignore; several people put a LOT of time, money and energy into these events and this site. If you can't afford the extra $20 over these mythical $30 dyno days, then please just come and hang out as you say, but leave any badmouthing at home. These events are meant to be fun, part of a hobby, weekend fun. A little negativity goes a long ways.

Any situation like this would be on a case-by-case basis. Sign up, and if things are iffy getting close to the event, keep me informed and I'll do whatever I can to refund most if not all of your money. Calling me at noon the day of the event saying you 'might make it later' is not gonna fly, nor will telling me as I call your name to get up on the dyno
We're a pretty small community here, so reach out to me via PM, phone call, or txt directly as I may miss posts in this or other threads.
I think people are taking the comment wrong. Im not bad mouthing the event.. or the price. Just from what I have went to seemed high. But youre right that was along time ago and a 2wd DJ vs an AWD/FWD DJ.. The idea I gave was just an idea, When we did the TCS one the last one I was at was when John Hailey had his shop in SLP. They had the moderators or something strap the cars... It was like $30.. but that was 6yrs ago or so lol..
