Mike's Xclusive Customs located at 414 Grapevine Hwy.(26) 817-581-6893 has a brand new inground dyno and $30 dynos the rest of the month. I can call Mike the owner and try to set up something with him, hes a cool guy. Maybe they can give us a group discount (probably not 30's cheap enough). You guys want to try to rustle up a group to go on Saturday? We can meet up and show them what kind of power these trucks can produce.

So are you gonna shoot for Saturday, or are you shooting for another day? Also, would you be willing to allow others from other clubs to show up as well?

What time do we need to be at the dyno, I have some stuff to do in the morning and wont be able to make the lunch in plano but should be free by time for the dyno run.

I went out there yesturday after work to talk to mike and he had stepped out. I'v been trying to call him, and I guess his phones not hooked up yet. 817-581-6893

So, basically its first come first serve, and I know he's getting pretty popular and gaining alot of business on the weekends. So everyone has to wait their turn. How does noon sound? 12:00 ok? I know the SVTOA guys are having a GTG at 11:00 in plano for lunch and will try to make it out there afterwards.

I would say lets get there early as possible but 12:00 to 1:00 would work fine. Weather should be nice and cool too. We can just show up and hang out till its our turn.

Im going to go out there on my lunch break to let him know there's going to be a group showing up.

Ok guys, I talked to mike. We're on for tomorrow. He'll stay open as late as he needs to untill all dyno's are ran. Be there between 12 and 1.

See you all there!

Well any wreck is bad but I am not hurt I don't think. I am not going to post any pics I can barley look at her in this condition and I don't want any memories of this. Lets just say new rear bumper some work on the front bumper and supports and trailor hitch.

Dangit.. I hate that she's hurt, but sheesh... well, don't feel too badly, I got whacked back in '02 from behind, luckily, the lady was only doing 5mph, if that, and barely bent the bumper. Took me over a year to get it fixed, thanks to Progressive, but it's done. :D

Good to hear you're alright.

Yea this was a three car pileup and he kid that hit the lady that hit me that drove my front bumpre into the ground was going about 45 or 50. :flaming:


The only thing I was worried about was the lady that was the meat in the sandwich. She was about 65 yrs old and her car was literly F'ed up.

Well I saw that he was going to hit the lady behind me so I tried to jump out of the way but she caught me when my bumper was down and then I hit my breaks the same time she hit me so that forced my front end down further than normal.:hammer:
