Default Dyno Services now available at Thunderhill

No real affliation, he's just the next door neighbor to the garage I rent up there. Kevin @ MCE Racing, a two-stroke bike specialist, but he put in a Dynojet chassis unit for us 4 wheel types. He has a bike dyno, too. Hadn't been up there in a couple of months.......surprised me!

Ken or Kim: Going up next week for HoD on Friday or ARC/NCRC over the weekend? The Turtle Mk 3 should be back together and out for its inaugural run (I've signed up and plan on having fun).

Funny guy. So I'm tooling around last Friday and like on lap 4 click off a 2:04 flat running some 4 year old 17" and skinny totally shot RA-1's from the RSA. Um, ok. Full track. Then I hop in the Radical and it also has tires with about 30 heat cycles, and iffy front aero from my pretty ineffective homemade splitter after the big off last fall. Coax a 1:55 and change out of it. Best time in the SM (with full tread tires......ick)......2:F------G13!!!!!!!!!!! I CANNOT drive one of those things!

Justin ran Larry Harper's OCR car that is the same vintage as yours with an equally old Rebello...around 2:07.4...
