We will be running all day. I plan on being at the DIY and running late in the day after the DIY. You should do the same.

Probably will start at 9:00 am and run in set intervals through the day.

Didn't really have a choice with the conflicting event - it was dependent on the shop schedule.

Correct.

ok, that'll be a long day. its quite a drive from Manassas to Mt Airy, but it'll get me back on my side of the world

now i gotta figure out what needs to be done on what car at the next DIY. i'll probably dyno my 335 since my M Roadster is stock

Correct.

FWD should be fine too, just no AWD (I'm 99.999% sure). Who really needs all that extra weight and that pesky drive train loss from an AWD system anyway....

I was really hoping (probably Jonathan as well) that you'd dyno the roady... we need a baseline afterall!

BTW: in.

LOL ... Yes. Only 2WD permitted. Is that better?

Will there be other marques there also?

The shop owner is a BMW club member, so it would be nice to be a BMW crowd.

Oh I didn't know if we had 10 spots out of 20, or something like that. Having a nice presence of BMW's will be nice.

It's a smaller shop, so we will probably run 45 min intervals. He likes to run the cars until he gets consistent / accurate numbers which sometimes takes time on BMW's.

BTW: I met the guy and he's really a good guy to know. Stand up person.

Too bad I'm required to use a Dynojet 248. I need to get the race car dynoed before the season starts.
