Dyno day near Flint, MI on May 14, 2016

rkneeshaw · 11-14-2015, 08:16 AM

Hey everyone,

We're on!

I normally post over on e46fanatics a lot but I wanted to reach out and see if I could find other BMW owners in Michigan that might be interested in a dyno day.

I've got a line on a shop with a dynojet that will do 3 pulls for $60 per car if we get 10 or more people.

Date is May 14, 2016

PM me your email address and a phone number I can contact you at if you are interested.

I wont be sharing your contact information with anybody but myself, and it will be used solely for the purpose of coordinating this event.
I'll primarily use email to communicate with those on the list, but may try to call you if I have trouble getting a response via email.

Lapeer dragway is like 20 minutes away from the dyno. This will be a fun Saturday.

They have a pretty decent setup, here is a pic of my car when I was there this summer:

The plywood doors in back open up to HUGE fans that suck air through the entire bay.

Its getting late in the year now so I'm trying to line something up for sometime in probably April or May.

I'll come back to this thread regularly and see if I can build a list of people.

Any interest?

Agent11br · 11-30-2015, 07:28 PM

Interested!

rkneeshaw · 12-03-2015, 08:06 PM

Great! I've got a couple others on the other forums too. Keep posting up folks if you would be interested! I'll keep updating this thread as more info develops

DSrugis · 12-03-2015, 09:35 PM

I could be in to at least watch and maybe run at Lapeer.

Blaster400 · 12-04-2015, 04:17 PM

Definitely interested.

Whitbread · 12-15-2015, 08:32 PM

I'm in, I'll bring my oil burner.

nanceman · 12-15-2015, 09:07 PM

When is it scheduled for? I'd be very interested if it was after the winter ended

Rcase · 12-20-2015, 04:06 PM

I would be interested in making the trip up. My friends like south of flint in Clarkston.

rkneeshaw · 02-10-2016, 08:38 PM

Great, so here's the interested list so far:
* Agent11br
* Blaster400
* Whitbread
* nanceman
* rcase

I'm thinking May 14, 2016. How does that sound? Weather should be turning nice around then.

If I can get about 10 of us to commit, I'll call the shop and lock in the date.

I'm tracking a few others on the other forums too.

DSrugis · 02-10-2016, 08:54 PM

Interested in us opening this up to others (non-bmw) as well? As stated earlier, i would be up for watching...pretty sure I know what a FBO n54 will put down.

Agent11br · 02-11-2016, 10:22 AM

Thanks for the update, noting in my calendar and praying my wife doesn't have a shower or other lady event come up I'm not aware of.

rkneeshaw · 02-18-2016, 05:05 PM

Ok folks, I've updated the first post. I've got enough interest around the internets that I went ahead and booked May 14, 2016 with the shop!

Yeah, for sure! I'm a car guy, anything that burns fuel is cool

It's a two-wheel dynojet, so AWD folks will be out of luck though.

You just tell her, to tell her friends, to plan on a different date! This is man time.

J/k, I'm married, I know how it works, lol.

rkneeshaw · 02-28-2016, 09:38 AM

Hey guys,

We have 18 slots we can fill.
I have 9 people that want to go, but only 6 of them confirmed.

PM me if you would like to run on the dyno, $60 is a great deal!

rkneeshaw · 03-06-2016, 12:57 PM

Update: I've got 15 people lined up, three slots left.

Holding slots for:
Agent11br
nanceman
rcase

Sent a PM to each of you, I need your contact info and I'll get you on the official list.

Thanks everyone, I'm really looking forward to this!

UMich_335i · 03-16-2016, 11:10 AM

I may be too late but I'm interested if there's a spot left.

rkneeshaw · 03-17-2016, 08:25 PM

Nope, not too late!

I haven't heard from these guys yet

Apologies for not getting back to you sooner! I have since purchased an F80 so at this point will be passing to allow others with mods to get a run in.

Shot you a PM with my email though! Want to come pending I can get free to see Blaster totally decimate things

rkneeshaw · 03-28-2016, 12:56 PM

No sweat! As of right now we still have room for you. I hope you can join us regardless if you run on the dyno or not, we're going to have a good group of cars, I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone and being in the company of good bmw brethren

rkneeshaw · 05-01-2016, 11:15 AM

Two weeks to go!

I have 1 slot available still, since one driver had to back out.

There's a sweet lineup of cars. Everything from e30, e46, e9x, e39, M3's, M5's, etc.

If anyone wants to just come hang out, you're welcome to!

If you want to run on the dyno, send me a PM so I can get you some details and contact info.

rkneeshaw · 05-09-2016, 07:45 AM

5 days to go. 16 cars comitted, and 2 slots still open. Let me know if you want in!
