Dyno Day

[caption id="attachment_6493" align="aligncenter" width="450" caption="Bernie Hamm - Fiat X/1-9 Vintage Racer - Dennis Repel photo"][/caption] The Club held its Third Annual Dyno Day on Saturday, March 31st at Miller Performance in Abbotsford. (Another big thank you to Brody Saari.) Unfortunately, we had several no-shows (It was raining a little after all!) but those who were there had a great time and several made significant improvements in their car's performance. The results are available here. VRCBC VP Dennis Repel again ‘made the biggest numbers’ with his 1974 Camaro (with 406 hp and 422 ft-lb) for the third year in a row, and also took the loudest car 'award'. Check out some photos below.

Gunter's XKE arrives
The Club held its Second Annual Dyno Day on Saturday, April 2nd at Miller Performance in Abbotsford. (A big thank you to Brody Saari.) Thirteen drivers tested their car's horsepower and torque. The preliminary results are available here.

VRCBC VP Dennis Repel not only 'made the biggest numbers' with his 1974 Camaro (with 372 hp and 391 ft/lb) again this year, but was also unveiled as the best 'guesstimator'. His guesses on what his engine would do were almost exactly dead on. The Camaro was loud too, but not as loud as Gunter Pichler's well-known Series 1 E-Type, particularly when he tried it without the mufflers!

Mike Bailey has put some some of his videos on You Tube: Mustang, MGB, Camaro and Tiger here and XKE (cover your ears!) here.

Check out some photos below.
