CARS Solodex Dyno Day - February 4, 2012

by CARSTT SoloDex
CARS will be having its Dyno Day and lime on Saturday 4th February 2012 at MAS Tuning, aka Oddie, in Esperanza Couva. All are invited to bring their cars for weigh-in, tech inspection and two dyno runs for class assignment for the 2012 competition season. Be reminded that cars must be in full race trim - that is rims, tyres, tuning setup, fuel level and stripped down state as would be used on race days.

Registration starts at 8:00am and the first car will be tested at 8:45am. The last car will be tested at 4:45pm. The change over of the Dyno between front or rear wheel drive cars and four wheel drive cars will be done depending on the number of cars of each type in line during the course of the day.

The cost for testing and membership is $225.00. Solodex membership entitles you to free gate entry for the year plus it allows you the chance to vote in the annual AGM at the end of the year. Persons who wish to test their car without becoming members will pay $175.00. The SoloDex team in conjunction with MAS Tuning will be hosting a curry duck lime at the Dyno Day. Everyone is welcomed to get their car weighed and dynoed and to enjoy the lime.

For further information please call Vishnu at 684-6911 or Gen at 678-4635.

See map below for directions to MAS Tuning.

dyno day, not racing
cars come to have their WHP measured on a dyno, and their weight checked, to calculate their power-to-weight ratio

you pay your money, and get two 'runs' on the dyno, ie you put your car on the machine and run it twice and measure the power twice..............this is what is used to determine your whp (wheel horsepower)
cars uses your power-to-weight ratio to fut you in a particular class, with cars with similar power to weigh t ratios

Example.
When an MG owners club in Britian has a meet and greet. The folks who actually show up on that day is a FRACTION of the total amount of folks who tried to get their Mg's started and driving that day.

Should have the scales set up by 8:00am and hopefully get the first early car dynoed by about 8:30 for those who would like to weigh in and dyno early and go to work like myself.
