Dyno Day March 22 Greensboro, NC
Over on DTR we got a dyno day scheduled for March 22 at Foreign Automotive in Greensboro. I just wanted to post this for an idea of who would attend and run. Prices are 3 runs for $75 and $100 for an hour. We understand this is Easter weekend and might be hard for some people but we wanted to get an idea. Thanks

Here are the resulst and the aftermath post, Posted by John Porterfield Sr. over on DTR
Well,..........the fine Members of NCDTR #18 had a great time today at the Greensboro Dyno Day held at "Foreign Automotive." We didn't have a huge turnout, had some minor problems with the dyno there, but I know that my Son (John Jr.) and I really enjoyed ourselves. It was great to see everyone again and to meet some more new faces!
The day started out with us meeting for breakfast at "Cracker Barrel" just up the road from the dyno. After breakfast, we headed down to the dyno there at "Foreign Automotive."
I want to thank Keegan Mabe (Unruly NFS) for organizing this event for us and to the very patient staff at "Foreign Automotive." Keegan,....sorry you had problems with your truck on Friday!
As stated above, they had some problems with the "RPM Pickup" on the dyno, but thanks to our Members, were able to get five (5) trucks on the dyno. My thanks to all of you who worked on that!
I promised everyone that I would post the dyno results for those five (5) Members that ran. Listed below are the names, truck description and H.P. and Torque Numbers for each truck. I have listed the HIGHEST runs made by each Members truck:
-----NAME--------------------TYPE OF TRUCK---------------H.P./TQ.------
1.) Kevin York (jp8819)--------1999 Dodge CTD--------------263/628-------
2.) Chris Lamm(ratlratl)--------2006 Dodge CTD CR-----------300/628 (STK)---------------------------------------------------------431/765 (Smarty)
3.) Bryan Adams (marine4life)--2001 Dodge CTD--------------491/999------
-----------------------------------------------------------545/1220 (NOS)
4.) David Livesay (BC847)-----1993 Dodge CTD--------------363/685-------
-----------------------------------------------------394/725 (Water/Meth)
5.) Tad Angell (Sqrl$$)--------2004 Dodge CTD CR----------293/541 (Stock)
----------------------------------------------------------480/930--------
In keeping with our NCDTR #18 "traditions" we decided to have a little fun with Bryan Adams Truck and again "experimented" with a bottle of nitrous oxide that DTR Member Brian Buchanan was nice enough to bring. With Brian helping me, we again took the 10 lb. bottle and gave Bryan a "small shot" into his BHAF!! As you can see, that "small shot" gave him an extra fifty-four (54) H.P.!! Bryan,..CONGRATULATIONS on the high numbers for today!
I also want to CONGRATULATE David Livesay (BC 847) whom I have watched fight, scratch and claw for more power the past two-three years on his nice 93' Dodge CTD First Gen.! Today, all of David's hard work and persistence paid off as he posted the HIGHEST H.P./TQ. number we have EVER had with a First Gen. Truck putting down 383/685 on #2 and then 394/725 with a water/methanol! David,......good job buddy, I am very happy for you!
After the dyno event, we all headed over to one of my favorite restaurants,
"HOOTERS", for lunch. On behalf of all the NCDTR #18 Members, I want to SINCERELY THANK Brian Buchanan for buying all of our lunches!! Brian, THANKS AGAIN for doing that for us!
My sincere thanks to EVERYBODY that attended this event! I can't wait for the next event which is the "OBX Drag Race Event" in Creswell, N.C. on Saturday April 5, 2008. Hope to see everyone there!
