This idea was emailed to me by Chip Bearing (Chip - I don't know your CC handle... is it just "Chip"?), so I wanted to post it for all to read and comment on...

Had an idea for the 2002 DSCC spring meet: Went to a car show Sat PM. There is a very nice dyno shop in Marietta. They will do 3 runs for $60 and then print out a graph of HP/Torque vs. RPM's with a picture of the car above. A guy at the show had his numbers framed. Very classy place and presentation. This would give us a "safe" motor event. Could even have a competition for small blocks, med blocks, & big blocks.
Also a 1/8 mile drag strip in Dallas, GA, NW of Atlanta, and another strip near Monroe, GA. This is nearer to Southern Automotive and they have "grudge racing" events. What do you think? - Chip

Chip,
I'm assuming that the dyno shop has a
portable dyno, right? I like the dyno idea. This could be fun, if the neighbors don't complain about hearing a bunch of Cobras running at full throttle for most of the day (hey, it doesn't bother
me.
) I tend to agree with what Jerry said last Monday... most of these folks would probably prefer to cruise rather than race their cars (even on a strip). But I will certainly keep this open for discussion. - Keith
Everyone,
Well guys? Whaddya think about these ideas? Please give me your opinions and any additional ideas that you might have. Like CobraDan said earlier, we want enough ideas to fill up all three days.

P.S. - For those who don't know, Marietta is about an hour North of Bill's shop. Straight through Atlanta. That's why it's imperative that it be a
portable dyno.
