Attn: Oregon Owners

Let's try and get a few of us together sometime later this week or this weekend. I'm finally back in town and I have only met one other fellow owner, Silver-Bolt. Contact either Bill or myself (Kimball), and lets get something together. Look forward to meeting everyone. My e-mail is in my signature.

I'm in, Saturday morning works best for me.

We can surely get together and take some great group/individual photos.

Things still on my hit list:

1) Touch-up front bumper
2) Straighten out my BedRug
3) Install upper-pulley
4) Clean the damn truck
5) Redo my "SUPERCHARGED" badges
6) Hard-wire my radar detector
7) Check plugs

That's all I got . . .

I'm up for a meeting, but I'm teaching until 1pm on Saturday. If we want to do a night thing, that would be good as well.

I'm good after 1:00 as well, but I can't do a night thing. Raiders game starts @ 5:30. =)

We should meet up somewhere with good scenery for a photo shoot. Anyone have suggestions. Being able to park on grass is a big plus for the photos.

I could probably slip out for a little while between 1-5.

What about a Dyno Day????? Flash has some good experience negotiating the pricing and my neighbor says there are 3 dyno's in the area that will measure up to 500 RWHP.

I wont be ready for a dyno day this Saturday. My new program is in transit. I know Bill also wants to wait until he installs his elec. fan kit. Maybe something towards the end of Jan. or early Feb.

Looks like a good list so far:

zbornac
Silver-Bolt
FlashSVT
SpoonDog_SVT
lightningbolt

We need to solidify a meeting spot. Maybe lunch and a photo session, although it looks like a little rain for Saturday.

Hey Red, check out http://communities.msn.com/PortlandLightning

MSN has screwed up some of the photos, but there are some cool ones in there.

The f150 world guys have a dyno day up here in Tacoma, sometime in march. Last year about 25 or so trucks showed up, some from as far away as Spokane, I think.
And it was a good time.
Just a heads up
Dale

I can make Saturday work. Just need a where and when.

Several dyno places in Portland, just one with a Dyno-Jet. I think the Dyno-Jet is the most accurate way to go. It is the most widely used Lightning dyno. More of an apples to apples comparison.

I should be ready by the end of the month. If we can get an idea of the number of people interested I will try and nail down a price.

Sounds cool Dale.

Dyno Days are usually a blast. We are going to set up something locally for the Gen 2 trucks. You can usually get a break in the cost if all the vehicles are the same. This makes it really easy on the dyno operator, especially when loading and unloading.

Silver-Bolt,

Any suggestions for Saturday? You know Portland alot better than I do.

I'm trying to think of a place for some good photos (think green) that's close to some restaurants.
