I'm going there early on Saturday to do a few pulls and get some datalogs. He's only charging $50 for three pulls which I didnt think was too steep. I guess Nate from TPG Tuning will be doing tuning there as well. Don't know if he has a website yet, but it is called J&S Auto if anyone is interested...nice to have a Mustang Dyno so close !"

Didn't know it was such a big deal, but I suppose it does make sense. Steelcity's post must have been a bit more persuasive than mine.
Actually, I didn't see this or I would have nuked this as well. It was tough to find but our official stance in the past regarding events is the following:

Events
• An event is considered “For-Profit” if money is collected to attend or participate
• For-Profit events must be authorized by the EvolutionM advertising staff and may require a vendor package. Contact one of the Staff for approval.
• For-Profit events that will not require a vendor package include motorsports events and shows that specifically include Lancers. These events may not be used as a tool to promote any other non vendor business.
• Local and National meets, BBQs, etc must not reference any non vendor business.
• Dynos days, tuning days, and other paid service event require a vendor account
• Exceptions – Members may discuss any event as long as they are not promoting it on behalf of themselves or another party.

It would be sweet to meet up with a couple more evo freaks in the area

My CD link is below if you want to see what my ride looks like

Maybe in a couple years i'll be able to afford an evo

we're getting about due for a meet sometime in the near future. it's been a couple weeks.

- edit - lancer looks nice. you didn't waste any time with her.

As much as it sucks the policy is consistent and makes sense. If I had a vendor account I would expect the EvoM staff to protect my interest and keep unapproved vendors away from my customer base.

So did you guys actually dyno your cars or just look at it? I wouldve expected to see dyno numbers posted everywhere.
