Hey folks, I posted this on the ever growing original thread, but wanted to make sure people had an opportunity to see the directions and dyno pricing as a seperate post. That said heres a cut and paste from that other thread.

Regarding directions:

Hey folks, for directions see page 5 of this thread. There are directions that someone pasted in from I think mapquest, and then below that is info from Turbopoo2000 talking about the accuracy of those directions.

Basically coming from the north heres the condensed version:

1) I-55 S. towards St.Louis
2) I-255 S. towards Memphis
3) Take exit 17a Il 15 E.
4) Take Il 159 S. to fountain in middle of the road and continue past this turnstyle on 159 S.
5) Look for N. 1St street on the left.
6) Look for the Big Top Skate Park/ Circus Skates sign....this is the building the dyno is in. As Mike noted above the address is 118 North First St. Belleville, Il 62220

The above is referenced from a Chicago south direction stand-point, but the rest of the participants will either be coming across on I-70, or up from the south on I44. Just reference the highway info on an atlas or road map and you should be able to find your way with no trouble.



Regarding Dyno/Gb costs and transaction methods:

When I had originally discussed dyno pricing with Ron @ Axis Racing we were quoted a day price of $1,250 to be divided between participants. As it stands it appears we will only have 15-16 people participating in the actual dyno activities. This creates a higher price per person than originally estimated, so I have worked out a deal with Ron to set a fixed price for each person at $65 per person/car. This applies to all attendees, and the only exclusion would be if someone ends-up requiring substantially more tuning time.

Btw- If you are involved in the Works Gb, David will be able to handle credit card transactions on-site for the Works re-flash and any other Works products. Payment for dyno time will need to be in the form of cash. Again $65 per person is the standard rate unless you require a substantial amount of tuning time.

Sorry it has taken so long to get this info out, but until we had most of the attendance details ironed-out we were not sure if the day-use or individual use payment made more sense.

Thanks for your patience regarding getting this info!

Hope this helps folks!

 

please write this phone # down, 314-537-3089, this is my cell number, the directions are pretty straight forward, but if anyone gets lost, call me and I'll get you to the dyno shop. I plan on being at the shop at 8 am on Saturday.

 

One more item of information is that from a food standpoint we are just going to do one of two things:
1) There are multiple fast food locations very close by that people can choose from whenever they are ready to eat.
2) There is also a buffet sit-down restaurant that can seat a lot of people that may also be an option for the entire group, or for smaller groups as they feel like breaking away to eat.

The logistics in trying to muster-up food and cooking supplies for a barbecue, is just too much additional headache to try and coordinate considering the tight dyno schedule. Hopefully this will meet peoples needs and better utilize time while saving money.
