30th June - Canberra Dyno Day

[fuzion]

original thread: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3205335&page=1

A good majority of Sydney people are heading down to Canberra for this! Some the night before and a lot on the day itself.

June 30, we are looking to hold a Dyno Day at Autotech Services in Fyshwick. Peter at Autotech has been helping run these days for quite sometime and with great success.

Lo and behold, Pete is the GIAC dealer in Canberra. Lucas will be coming up to speed things up and do some speed flashing

BBQ will be provided. Drinks as well, but we'll need a hand running this, so volunteers are welcome

Post up if you're interested. We're looking at around $40-$50 a car. That includes run with wideband AFR reading and other things that each person can discuss with Peter.

you know floody,,,this isnt just my opinion,but many here.the majority of members ,dont like to feel pressured into doing things.so ,the harder you push,the less people will come.also,with the recent events ,the chip battle--its left a nasty taste in many peoples mouths.nobody wants to be a guinea pig,or to be involved in comparisons.alot of members do their own dynos,without the hassle or stress.make it so,there is not these constrictions,and people will come.continue like this and nobody will come.

well to be honest ive noticed a few times cruises have been organised on tex with certain members that are members here as well ,and there has been no mention of it here.its funny how our organised events get spammed there but non of their events get posted up here.

A big bunch of people here complained cause we didn't invite VWW peeps to our events, and now we do and know one turns up. All I'm saying is we are doing as you asked, so I would have thought you guys would have started coming otherwise what was the point of the complaint? I understand people have other things on for weekends, so what's to say none of you would have been able to make it to the events that we previously didn't post.

I've made a 2-3 great friends from this site and a whole bunch from Vortex. Lets leave it at that, come, don't come. It doesn't really have anything to do with if you like drags or dyno's or not, it's about participating in the community. Turn up, say hi, have a laugh, enjoy some dubs and meet some new people. Know one is forcing people to compete in these events.

we do turn up, but cant make every1 of them..

[DubSteve]

I make it to the drags but I couldn't drag due to other things, I just sat there watched, taped and talked to a few people. On this cruise no one has to dyno there car.

You can just go down for the drive thats what I am doing. Its good to have a drive, and in a way its a way to bridge some divisions between the two forums.

Meh who cares if no one comes. The important people will be there..

[Golf Loon]

Give up Perry, they obviously don't like any event not organised by themselves

Organize good events and we`ll come to em.

I personally cant think of many things more boring than standing round in a dirty workshop winking on about whos chip is better.

I`d rather go for a drive and a chat with some interesting people.

Two cruises within a month of each other, exactly what you ask for. So which is it, do you want a cruise or as long as it's no more then XXXkm? We actually were at the pub in berry for bout 2 hours chatting and waiting for food.

This forum craps on about the VW community yet don't seem to want to participate in it unless it's an event organised by this forum. Pierre and Steve, I'm serious, why bother. They ask to be included and told about events, and then whinge that the events aren't good enough.
