Today was a fun little meet. Free BBQ and a free car show - I didn't win anything but it was still fun. $40 for 3 dyno runs. Here's a vid of mine:

Everyone was complaining about it putting out low numbers. Even one of the shop guys said it reads 10-13% lower than others. Anyway, I put down 228hp and 243tq with a lightened flywheel and test pipes.

It was the best Z car show I have ever been too! Rows and rows and rows of Z cars. I didn't take the time to count how many Z cars showed this year but I'm guessing between 60 - 70 cars. The dyno runs were great with one car putting out over 721 wheel horsepower !! Several twin turbo charged cars also. Here are a few pics:

Were you even at the meet? I don't remember seeing an orange 350 at all. There certainly wasn't one parked next to all the other 350s.

Oh, well no wonder he didn't have a good time. He must have been too socially inept to park his car and meet some people.

Looks like you guys had a good time. I wish this show would have been one day later so I could have made it. Next year I guess!!!

It wasn't a Z car that made that highest dyno ...... I hate to say it but it was a little 90's Honda Civic that blew the doors off all the turbo Z cars -
What is the World coming to?

Yes, the show was a lot of fun.

I was there around noon time. Spent an hour there talking with some of the guys. There was only 50 people there at the most. 80% of the cars were 240's & 280's. One 370Z & maybe four 350's. I only saw one vendor selling detailing stuff.

It was being billed as the largest Z event in Oregon. It was lame, end of story.

Mr. Grumpy Pants has never been to an Oregon Z meet, obviously.

The photos of the rows of Z cars at this event say it all. It was indeed Oregon's biggest and best Z Car show and meet.

And next year it will be even bigger. Washington guys that do make the drive to this event next year will find it to be the largest Z car meet around.

Enough said.
