Firstly - thanks to everyone who turned up. We filled the carpark area and then some, there were cars everywhere. Also great to see eveyone having a good time :)

Big thanks to Sam for allowing the event to take place. He had a stack of people talking to him all day and managed to speak with a heap of the guys who's cars were there too. Top bloke - yes I am biased :) And how bloody clean did the workshop look.

Chris, mate, what were you thinking :)
Great idea to have the day, and hey - it didn't rain. Nice planning.

Also of note was the Harrop fellas that were aboard for the day.
Having the Harrop Stealth Superchargers on some street cars doing dyno runs & the awesome Harrop Hurricane setup on a motor in the engine dyno were a sight to see. They also had on display a wide range of their scmick product range for all to see & hold.

I haven't posted any results as I left just after 2pm & there were still a heap of cars to go.

Maybey if were nice to Darren, he will enlighten us.

What a top day!!

First of all really want to thank a few people....
Ken (Animal), Dave (VTSS350) and my lovely Fiancée Charmaine for helping me out getting all the cars organized today, if it wasn't for you guys (and girl) I would still be there trying to work out what car is going on next.:lol:
I'll have to buy you guys a beer!

Darren (Justice R8) for getting the trophy's, the stuff for the BBQ and for giving me the confidence to take charge of the day (what the hell were you thinking?LOL)

Sam,Tom and the rest of the guys from Sam's Performance for putting in the hard work and spending there Sunday off to allow us to have this Dyno day.

To the guys (sorry guys, can't remember your names!) who cooked the BBQ.

I take my hate off to you guys, together we really put on a great day that just about everyone I talked to enjoyed!

To everyone to attended I really hope you guys had a good day, I know there were a few little stuff ups on my behalf but it all worked out good in the end.

I don't have the results on my but I can tell you I took out Highest HP for LS1/FI even though my car was down on power.(my first trophy, WOO HOO)

There were some pretty nice cars there, but I have to say Darren's VX Clubsport R8 really blow me away with its 480rwhp run (412ci stroker).

A few people seen how buggered I was looking toward the end and ask if I would do it again....
Funny thing is 10 mins after I got home I started wondering if Sam would want to do this again in late Jan 2006.

So watch this space! ;)

Well done Chris Ken and Dave. You guys got it all sussed pretty quick. I personally think the highlight was me handballing all responsibility to you guys and then having a snooze in the engine room. All in all I think the day went really well. I couldnt believe how many spectators turned up to have a look. The carpark was full. The security guys did a great job keeping an eye on the cars and organising parking etc.

Well done guys

We also raised $300 ($240really) which we made $300 for the childrens Hospital which was counted and varified by redvyss a non Sams customer. This donation will be made this week. This was from all the donations for food

Included in that was a $100 donation from VCM Suite (Mario) Great to see Mario digging deep for the kids.

Harrop have also donated a Harrop diff cover vallued at $500. This will be auctioned off on the forum soon with all proceeds going to the childrens hospital.

It was character building for you guys. I had your best interests at heart :D :D

My Motto
Bite off more than you can chew and chew like hell. You guys stepped up to the plate and hit a home run
