Arrow Dinner and Dyno Meet - Pictures!

As most of you know, the "Dinner and Dyno Meet" was this weekend in Orlando. We met Saturday night at the Hooters by the airport for dinner, and drove out to the Performance Factory on Sunday morning to test our cars on Jeremy's DynoJet dynamometer.

We met the Orlando OZOC crew at the Hooters Restaurant. It was nice to see all the guys again and check out all their hot cars. We got to the restaurant a bit before the Z guys... Here are some pix:



Jose had his new KurmaZ front bumper on... hottness!



The Dark Knight was looking good, as usual...



Chuck's new stereo system rocks...



Arrived at the Performance Factory at 9am Sunday morning and found Jeremy and Matt already strapping down Jon's Turbo Porsche.





Jon's Porsche was spotless, of course!



Ron's G was looking good, too...



Matt's getting ready to strap down the front of Sean's (Gilley) Laser Red G35:



Couple of shots of Sean's engine compartment.



This is a record shot in case of... er... future changes...



Got a few more pictures I'll try to post tonight...

I got a bit behind watching the Gators win the BCS showdown tonight... Go Gators...

This M3 made more horsepower than any other car at the meet. You could tell he was pretty serious when he opened his hood to warm up his nitrous bottle and he had a supercharger too.





Hmm... This G35 looks familiar...



Jeremy straps her down for the run...



My secret weapon... Thanks, Chuck.



Lyndon (w0ady) drove down from Jacksonville and finally got his sway bars installed. How was the ride home, Lyndon?



Gorgeous Red 350Z... Dyno'd some good numbers too.





This AMG Mercedes had a factory supercharger and turned in some good numbers. While Jeremy was running this Mercedes on the dyno, a CEL came on... turns out the CEL was for "excessive speed with the front door open." Strange that the light didn't come on until it hit 140 mph with the door open.



Nice wheels!



Thanks to Jeremy and Matt for making this such a fun day for everyone in attendance!

The Germans know how to supercharge and make it look fully integrated.

"excessive speed with the front door open."
That's the funniest CEL I've heard of.

Of course...I keep forgetting to take my camera out of my car every night I get home. Hopefully, I can remember tomorrow.

I have a few more pictures, but I was hoping Ryan would post his. Ryan used a tripod on Saturday night, so his night pictures should be pretty good.
