Mitsubishi will be having its Factory MOD event again this year. It will be September 8th from 10am to 3pm, at there plant in Normal, IL. Here is the flyer:
 Here are some pics from the last two years: http://mn3s.org/MOD2005/index.html http://mn3s.org/MOD2006/index.htm I found a pic of the portable dyno in use at the California MOD:  Here is another pic before they hook up the car:  I'm sure this is what they'll be using at the Factory MOD too. Can't wait! later, Curt |

I've seen them on trailers before that you back onto, but nothing like that. -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"

I've seen them on trailers before that you back onto, but nothing like that. looks like dyno packs (I believe that is what Genesis Racing Developement uses too).... they unbolt your wheels and bolt the dyno boxes to your hubs.... then you make your pull. -------------------- You CAN sleep in your car, but your CAN NOT race your house!!!

I think both AMS and Buschur are on the dyno list. Should be fun to watch.

I can't find any sign-up on their page. That's OK. Something tells me I'll be spending time on their dyno in their shop soon anyway.
It looks like there should be some interesting pulls, tho! -------------------- ... she likes bein' forced ...

I may go to this. It will be the first time I've had the Talon running for one of these in a long time.
I thought the dyno thing would be cool, and I could beat that GSX's AWHP in a sleeper, but after seeing folks like Darryl, AMS and Buscher on the list. Hell No! That would just look pathetic. -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

Due to time constraints there are limited spots for the dyno competition. We're kinda on stand-by for the competition.

Unfortunately, my car won't be ready by tomorrow. I pulled the T-25 a couple weeks ago and I'm still waiting to receive my FP Big28 turbo. I was hoping it'd be here before this weekend but it just didn't happen.
None-the-less, I'm still going to MOD. Me and a couple buddies will be meeting up at the Walgreens on Kirby and Neil in Champaign at about 8:30AM before we head out to Bloomington-Normal for the event. Anyone wanting to join us is more than welcome. |

I'll wait at the Goodfield exit around 9:15 for you all to go by. Spy call my cell when you are getting close if you are going to roll out with these guys.

I got a ticket on the way there... not racing. I just wasn't paying attention. I had a great time at the event. Had I known the whole deal was ALL free I would have went in previous years even without my car!
