My car isn't cooperating =( Minor running issues have gotten worse so don't feel comfortable putting it up on the dyno Saturday. The sidebet can still happen with everyone else |

Bummer, hope you get it sorted out soon. Maybe you should explain the sidebet to those who are going on the dyno, see if there's enough interest to do it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So for those wondering what @PMok and I are talking about in terms of a sidebet we had an idea at the Penninsula meet last week. Peak power is great but only a select few FI cars will be competing for that crown and we would like everyone to have an opportunity.
So our proposal was everyone that wishes put $5 into a pool ($60 if all 12 participate). Everyone guesses what their peak HP will be. Closest one to their guess wins. TQ will be guessed as well and used as a tie breaker if needed. Winner take all. This seem to be of any interest to those participating? It could be for a smaller $$$ amount as well but this was kinda cool since the winner gets free pulls basically. |

Because I've put my previous car on Mann's dyno before, I know there are 3 different power readings: Corrected power, engine power, and wheel power (and torque of course). Finch you can decide which of these readings we will all agree to guess for. If people are interested we need to get our guesses and our money in before the first car goes on the dyno at 10:15AM. Since he's not in it anymore, I suggest finch hold the money, he can be the Hector for this side bet.

Side bet
My car is number 10 on the list so I might not make a 10:00am start. However I'd like to be included in the side bet. Perhaps we can send our estimates to someone (at Mann or another trustworthy soul)?

PM your estimates to me. And that can go for anyone else. I will accept all guesses via PM until 10AM Saturday. I must have your money for the pool before the last car is strapped down to be eligible. |
