The Viper Club of America, Washington
Region, hosts our annual Dyno Day at HorsePower Ranch, in Hobart. You are invited to come on out and join us for
some loud cars, lunch, and fun!
What is Dyno Day?
This is an opportunity to test your car for horsepower, torque, and
proper air/fuel ratio, and do it in a fun and competitive environment.
Dyno Day is
an open event, intended to get us out of our garages, ready for
spring, and to have a little fun! Cross your fingers that the
weather's good, because it's a beautiful drive out to Hobart.
This event is family friendly! No special driving skills,
experience, or equipment are needed. The information that you'll get
on your car includes rwhp, rw torque, and air/fuel ratio. John can
print other info too.
Why Do This?
If you are considering making
changes to your car, you should first get a baseline measurement to
understand where it is before you change it. Then follow this up
with another test after the changes are made, and you will understand
exactly what effect your changes had. This information will
really help you to understand what you might want to do next.
If
you've already made changes to your car, it's not too late! Come
out and get a measurement as is. This will form your new baseline
going forward.
If you check your car on a regular basis
(annually) it will also tell you when things are starting to go wrong,
because it's much easier to detect gradual deterioration with a
periodic measurement than just through everyday observation.
And just to spice things up a bit, we will be competing for bragging
rights, for greatest rear-wheel horsepower in four categories: Open,
Modified, Stock, and non-Viper.
- Open - Any street-legal Viper,
including those with forced induction systems (i.e. Superchargers or
Turbochargers)
- Modified - Any street-legal Viper
with drive train modifications, including headers, cat-backs, heads,
fuel injectors, etc. except for non-factory forced-induction
systems. All you Viper owners with Superchargers and Turbochargers
will have to compete in Open class.
- Stock - Any street-legal Viper
with no drive train modifications allowed, except air filters and
smooth tubes.
- Non-Viper Open - Any street-legal car that is not a Viper.
How do I sign up?
Please make your checks payable to
WAVCA, and send them to the registration address. Also, please
indicate which class you will compete in.
Registration for the event will also be available on-site, the day of each
event. So, if you completely forget about this until the day before,
please come on out anyway!
See you there!

If you've come to Dyno Day in the
past, note that the location was changed in 2009. We switched to
John Garner's Horsepower Ranch, and have a great event! John has a
first class facility, expert knowledge about tuning tips, and gets
raves for his BBQ lunch.
HorsePower Ranch has a 2-wheel, "big-wheel", Mustang
dyno, capable of measuring 2000hp, with 20,000 cfm of air flow
through the cell. So, leave your AWD's at home, toss in some fresh
gas, and bring out some big horsepower! Show us all what you got
under the hood!
- There is a limit of 25 cars per
day, and scheduling preference will go to pre-registered entrants.
If you have a scheduling preference, please indicate such with your
payment.
- Lunch is provided
- Questions? Please don't hesitate
to contact us.
- Viper ownership or membership in
the VCA is not required! This is an Open event.
