Just posting this up for Eric Jones. Seems like a good time and for a good cause.

It is tentatively set for Nov 19th.

Hey guys I am planning on hosting a Dyno Day around Yorkville IL sometime in the month of November. I know it is a little late, it may or may not be inside if this happens. This dyno day is for Yorkville High School Wrestling coach, his son has a rare heart condition (HLHS Hypoplastic left heart syndrome) and has had to endure 3 expensive surgeries. You can read all about it at this website - HOME You can also enter a raffle to win a 2011 Roush Supercharged Mustang GT signed by Jack Roush himself.

This dyno day would only be possible If I can get around 15 trucks to pre-register. It is looking like registration will be $100 for 3 pulls on the dyno. I am not looking for anybody to register now, I am simply looking for anybody who may be interested so I can get this rolling. I will also be advertising on the Ford, Cummins forums. This Dyno day will also be open to gas vehicles. The dyno will be loaded and you will receive a torque reading.

Hey guys! John told me he posted this over here, so I figured I would check it out on my name I never use! :eek:

Glad to see some interest though! Right now its in the planning, once I hear back from the Dyno company I will probably get a list of guys that would be willing to pre-register.

I would love to see some of these trucks out here!! bcdeutsch would love to see that thing on the rollers in person!!

And Schwinn dont know If you remember me, I was the guy you met at Kendall County Fair with the red truck that was doing my own tuning :rofl:

what are the final details on this? actual location, price, time?

Did we talk when you were in line waiting to pull? I was pretty crazed that night. Was doing a lot of stuff to the truck to get it ready. And then it broke. And then I had to swap tires back. And drive it home. :woott::(

Yea we talked when we were both in line to pull. I think you were right behind me! I was so pissed my truck kept bouncing I didnt see you pull, did a driveshaft let loose?

UPDATE:

I would like to start getting names of people who deffenitly can come and Pre register there trucks. I am not taking payment yet, just organizing names. $100 dollars for 3/pulls, and $250 to enter high horsepower competition (min 10 trucks) there will be a cash prize to the winner! Location: Kendall County Fairgrounds, Time:10am I will post back within the next 1-2 weeks If this event is actually going to take place if I can get enough pre-registered trucks!

If we cant do it this year I will deffinatly try and organize one during the local truck pull test n' tune in may next year!

count me in for sure on the regular dyno pull.

I ended up breaking a driveshaft, rear pinion yoke, broke the locating tabs off the spring pack, bent the center link, bent tie rods, bent idler/pitman arm, bent cognito braces all on that pull.
