Attn: Listers! Dub Dash 5 rallye/show coming SOON...Oct. 14-15th in Dayton, OH
Hey Chris,
Considering I live right here in Dayton I suppose I should be there, eh?
I heard about the event last year, and was wondering more about it... sounds awesome!
If you guys end up doing a dyno for $40, you can count me in... do you know if they will have
wideband o2 capability? That would be the only way the dyno would be of real benefit to me. I
really need to know if my car is running stoich or not... I think the real question is *how* rich
is it running... hehe.
Well, I'll mark my calendar. Sounds like a good time.
