CINCO DE MAYO DYNO DAY SEIS (VI) - IT IS ON!!!
When: Saturday May 7th, 2005
Where: 20 Miles north of Dallas TX
at ATS Racing
Cost: 3 pulls / $30 prepaid Paypal to [email protected]
$45 day of (if available)
Motel: To Be Determined
I'm game... but I don't have a dyno. :scratch:
I spoke to Aaron at ATS Racing and he is game for May 7th, Cinco De Mayo Dyno Day Seis (VI). It will be $30/3 runs if paid through paypal prior to 5/7/05.
The event will be held 5/7 (Saturday following 5/5). I would like to extend invitations to Austin, Houston and Midland/Odessa Miata clubs.
My thought is a trophy for the largest out of town turn out, highest horsepower miata, and pimpest miata. I will spring for the trophies.
So what do ya'll think?
Chris
Does anyone have a suggestion for a nicer motel that we could get a group rate on? So that we could drink a little beer in the parking lot and talk about it some?
Chris
Moving to Events since it seems to be the start of an event! I'm game! 8)
That is they day after my Bday, but Ill probably be there.
I'm for it!

I'm in!
8) Great idea! How you gonna get 2 miatas and an RX-7 over there on the same day??? You can park something at my house in advance if you need to. :!:
Good Question. I just spoke to Rick at RacingMazda.com and he will be joining us. Last CDMDD he pulled 400 to the Rear wheels. It should be interesting.....
Chris

Don't forget Tumbleweed out in Midland/Odessa. Steve Spain is the pres.
Cool. I just got an email from Gary @ Trackdog and he looks to be in as well! Now I wonder how I can get Sport Compact Car to cover the event?
Chris
I say do it!
I'll bring white out to pull.
[email protected] = Steve Spain out of Midland
and [email protected] = Tulsa miata club
Both these clubs are about the same distance as Houston and SA.
I emailed the Tumbleweed folks, but I will resend directly to Steve Spain and to the Tulsa Group as well.
Thanks,
Chris
How many cars can they run through there in a day? When I was up there, it seemed that it took about 10 minutes just to get the car up there, strapped down, and ready to go.
Bump to freshen up....
Any idea how many have actually pre-paid?
I will check back as this gets closer, I am curious about what my car is putting out....however I would have to pay at the door kinda thingy.
Thats a long way to go and find out that there is no room for me when I get there....I will most likely just call the day of.
If you prepay, there will be room. I am going to call ATS tomorrow and figure a maximum number of slots and we will go from there. So if someone pays, they will get to pull.
Chris
I will have to hand deliver the cash i guess, I still plan on doing it to get a baseline of what my car can do...I am very curious
:( Yea me too, Pay Pal doesn't want to do any business with me since I won't give them my bank account number :roll: Some stupid rule that once you've bought over $2000 they want my Bank Account, I told the when pigs fly :tongue:Quote:

I disagree. While I've had to dispute a charge on a CC before, it is not easy to do, especially if the vendor has good records and follows their proceedures. Not to meantion I've done a hair over $2000 with PayPal and they had no problems, They've been paid on those transactions so they sould open my credit back to another $2000.Quote:

Between my two companies and my personal accounts, I've got so many CC's and Bank Accounts, the last thing I need is another to keep up with just to keep PayPal happy :roll: . Pay Pal can stick it in their ear. :geek: Besides I've heard of people getting screwed with PayPal as well, thus I don't think it's any safer than a normal CC.Quote:

Back on track, why doesn't ATS take a CC for a dyno day? I'm sure they take CC's on repairs and mods they do for people.
Bottom line, (this may get me kicked out of TCB) I'd rather pay the $10.00 than give anyone access to my bank account.
I'm with you... there's just something not right about how they want access to a checking account when they really and truly don't need it...Quote:

As far as the paypal versus CC ordeal. Paypal makes it very convenient for us, it keeps track of who send money and when. We do accept credit cards, but not as a pre-payment for dyno days. It's too difficult for me to keep track of. It's only a $10 difference though. If it is that big of a deal, have your buddy paypal the money on his account and put your information in the comments section.
Thanks,
Aaron
I paypal'd you my money. If I have no Miata's I may be forced to bring the 302 RX7 out....
