Eastern PA DYNO DAY and GTG
I would like to invite you to the 3rd annual LTXtech.com Eastern PA (Pottstown) DYNO DAY @ Performance Specialties on Saturday April 4th (Rain date Sunday April 5th).
Before I go any further, please keep in mind that I am not soliciting business, here and I actually will lose money on this event. Contrary to the beliefs of some, this is not about recruiting members for my site (remember my forum focuses on LT1/LT4 owners), not would the recruitment of new members benefit me in anyway as my forum is free to join and use. I would also like to advise that all payments collected go directly to the owner of the performance shop that allows us to host the event. Finally, all beverages (adult as well), and food are paid for our of my pocket and provided to anyone (participating or not) to enjoy. This event is honestly an event to bring people together (motor vehicle enthusiasts alike) for a nice day of food, fun and horsepower.
All makes and models are invited and welcome to participate, however due to limitations in time, and equipment, both AWD and DIESEL vehicles will not be able to participate in the DYNO event, however please feel free to come out, hang out, eat and drink and even show off your vehicle.
Costs will be the same as before @ $40.00 for 3 pulls with print out (DYNO JET).
(Burgers, dogs, etc as well as beverages, adult included will be available for FREE).
I am also looking into possibilities for some type of award, gift or trophy for the top hp vehicles in both NA and PA categories (still in the works).
If you are interested and would like to pre register, please email me ASAP for instructions at LTX-Owner1@comcast.net .
ONLY THE FIRST 20 PAID REGISTRATIONS WILL BE “LOCKED IN,” ALL OTHERS WILL BE “AS TIME ALLOWS” ON THE DAY OF THE EVENT.
THANK YOU,
Larry Hanna

We are up to 13 Pre Registered.
We are now discussing adding a small car show in the lot next door. All those participating in the dyno day will automatically get a voting number for the show. Others who just want to show, can make a donation of any amount they want (from 1c to infinity), and they will be given voting numbers as well.
ONE "PEOPLES CHOICE" trophy will be given to the car that gets the most votes.

ALL PMs replied.
FYI: 22 spots filled. 3 pre registration spots available. After that, it will be "as time allows" at the end of all of the pre registration runs. Remember, we will also be doing trophies for highest hp NA (THANK YOU Cahall Performance Transmissions for sponsoring), and highest hp PA (THANK YOU American-PowerHouse for sponsoring), as well as a "peoples choice award" trophy for the car show (pending permission to have one).

We have 22 of the 25 pre registered spots filled (one more opened up, because a participant confirmed that his motor will not be ready in time). 3 spots to go, if you want to confirm getting a spot that day. If not, feel free to still come by... small car show in the neighboring lot, food, drinks and DRINKS (all free while supplies last), as well as the chance to make some pulls after all of the pre registered are completed. There will also be trophies for the HIGHEST HP, NA and PA.

(323 East High St. Pottstown, PA. 19464. Participating vehicle entrance is located at the back of the business on King St).
Things are coming together quite well. We unfortunately had two participants who requested to be removed from pre registration because their projects will not be completed in time (however they will still be joining for the event), and we still have 24 pre-registered vehicles.
This message here is meant to encompass EVERYTHING you will need to know for the day of the event.

DYNO EVENT time will begin @ 9:00am and run until we are finished, at which time trophies will be awarded. (NATURALLY ASPIRATED HIGH HP & POWER ADDER HIGH HP, sponsored by Frank C, Owner of Cahall Performance Transmissions and Gail C, Owner of American-Powerhouse).
CAR SHOW Event time will begin @ 9:00am and run until 2:00pm, with ONE “people’s choice award” trophy being awarded @ 3:00pm.
Parking and other miscellaneous instructions are in attachments (refer to proper attachment for what you plan on participating in car show or car show/dyno).
REMEMBER: VEHICLES NOT PARTICIPATING IN EITHER THE DYNO OR CAR SHOW EVENT SHOULD PARK OUTSIDE OF THE PARKING LOTS, EITHER ON THE MAIN STREET IN FRONT OF THE BUSINESS, OR WHEREVER YOU CAN FIND PARKING.
VEHICLE TOW RIGS WILL HAVE AVAILABLE PARKING AT A LOCATION LESS THAN 2 MILES AWAY, PLEASE MAKE ARRANGMENTS WITH ME IF YOU WILL REQUIRE THAT PARKING (Street Legal vehicles can be driven from that location to the event location. Non Street Legal vehicles can be dropped off at the event location, then the tow rig can be taken to designated parking lot and we can arrange a ride back to the event)
(Times are subject to change, based on weather or other circumstances).
THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING, AND I/WE LOOK FORWARD TO A GREAT DAY, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED, PLEASE CONTACT ME AT LTX-OWNER1@COMCAST.NET
EVENT DAY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PARTICIPANTS:
DYNO & CAR SHOW:
Upon arrival, enter neighboring parking lot from KING ST entrance.
Follow parking directions from designated person
(If no one is there at the time, go to the furthest end of the lot, where you see “METERED PARKING” signs, and park next to the last car that is there. Use 1.5 spots per car. Back into your spot.)
DISCLAIMER FOR PARKING: There is an unspoken “OK” to park in the adjacent lot when there are larger events at the shop. This however will probably be bigger than those other incidents. I am hoping that the locals will be lenient with us, as we are bringing business to their community, however if parking enforcement comes around, I will make arrangements to pay the metered parking for the vehicles parked for the show, so if you see the official, PLEASE COME FIND ME.
Find Paperwork Table, or Larry (POPO) to get event paperwork that requires completion.

-CAR NUMBER (This will be a piece of paper with a number on it. It MUST be placed on your dash in a visible location so that your vehicle can be voted for in the car show. Remember, this is “PEOPLE’s CHOICE” so it may not necessarily be the prettiest… so don’t shy away from this. If you fail to display it, there will be no exceptions if your vehicle does not get any votes)
-VOTING SLIP (This is the slip that you will write your choice for the “PEOPLE’s CHOICE” car show award. Once completed, this slip should be dropped in the jar that will be labeled and in a designated location by 2:00pm, as that is when we will close voting for calculations).
DYNOING will go from 9:00 am till we finish, or it gets to late.
CAR SHOW will go from 10:00 am till 2:00 pm, with award being done at 3:00 pm “ish.”
REMEMBER: IF YOU ARE NOT PARTICIPATING IN THE DYNO or CAR SHOW, YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO PARK SOMEWHERE ELSE. SUGGESTION IS THE FRONT (street side) OF THE BUSINESS.
-ALSO, IF YOU ARE TRAILERING, BE SURE TO CONTACT ME TO MAKE ARRANGMENTS.
(as of now, the owner of KNOPPS SERVICE & PERFORMANCE has OK’d the use of his lot for tow rigs, however it is a short distance away @ 599 WEST High St, Pottstown PA 19464). If your vehicle is street legal, parking at the tow rig lot and driving to the event would be best, however if your vehicles is not, we will assist you in unloading at the event, then getting your vehicle to the tow rig lot, and getting you a ride back).

Well i got some rest and my body hates me... for what i ate... what i drank... and being on my feet all day. Oh well Im old.
Let me start by saying WHAT A FANTASTIC DAY YESTERDAY! The 3rd Annual LTXtech.com DYNO DAY & CAR SHOW was the best one yet!!!
A total of 26 cars set up and made dyno pulls. Even more cars were on display in the car show lot... and even more people were in an out all day, as many came to spectate and support their friends and family. The weather was excellent...with the exception of some inconvenient wind which had us cold on and off and chasing paperwork on occassion.
(This next part is dangerous for me...as I will most likely forget to mention someone... please... if I do, let me know so that I can give credit where credit is due)
Im going to start the THANK YOUs with thanking everyone who attended in any capacity. A large mix of EVERYTHING... from monster truck people to import people to muscle cars to stock cars to streetable "racecar" vehicles and people were in attendance.... and other than some fun ball busting, everyone was respectful to everyone... Thank You!
A HUGE THANK YOU to Ray Mayer and his crew @ Performance Specialties for hosting the event. The prep and set up for the event was top notch and the facilities and service were flawless as always.
A HUGE THANK YOU to Chris Mill of Knopps Service & Performance for allowing our trailered vehicles to have a remote location to park all of the tow rigs. It worked out perfectly!
On the same subject... thank you to Chad Dougherty & Andrew Bealer for helping to shuttle the owners of the cars with tow rigs between the locations.
A HUGE THANK YOU to Brad Ray, for handling all of the Parking lot situations. He kept everyone organized... spaced out...and out of trouble addressing and parking almost everyone that arrived. There is no way the lot would have been so organized and functional as it was without his help.
On that same note... a HUGE THANKYOU to the Pottstown Police Dept and Parking Enforcement for being lenient as I slacked here and there keeping the meters fed. (Only one person recieved a ticket, but he was parked out on the street, and since he is a big asset to car events all over, we will help him cover the ticket).
On that ^^^ note, A HUGE THANK YOU to George Zlumlord Watters who was on location all day taking photos and videos. He tells me that his media will be loaded up soon and I will share the links once it has been completed
A HUGE THANK YOU to Cameron Maas, who perfectly handled our grilling needs. He spent alot of time behind that grill making sure everyone was fed their burgers and dogs. For the record, in the course of 5 hours we all consumed 110 hamburger patties and buns 6+ pounds of hot dogs amd buns, 4 pounds of home made sloppy joe and buns, 1 large crock pot of peroggies, 1 large pot of home made pasta salad, misc chips and snacks as well as "soaked" gummy bears...
On THAT^^^ same note, a HUGE THANK YOU to my incredible wife Angela who shopped for... spent much of Friday (and other days depending on the food) preparing all of the eats (minus the dogs and burgers).
A HUGE THANK YOU to our event award sponsors. Frank Cahall Of CAHALL PERFORMANCE TRANSMISSIONS sponsored the High HorsePower NA trophy and Gail C. Cahall of American-Powerhouse sponsored the High Horse Power PA trophy... The two of them are so generous and involved in the site and community... this just went on, above and beyond. They also provided a large box of goodie bags that were handed out throughout the day.
Here is the part I am most proud of... the GENEROUS donations given by everyone to Lower Pottsgrove Officer Kenney who has recently been struck with tragic bad luck in only a few months. In September a distracted driver failed to stop at a stop sign and T-boned the Officer's car. Subsequently his car rolled over and he sustained serious injury. Months of surgery and rehab which he was still involved in, he was able to return to work in a limited capacity, only to lose everything in a house fire last week. His Department's Police Association is collecting donations for him and as a last minute effort to help... we decided to take all of the donations (usually used to offset the cost of all of the food and refreshments, etc) to go directly to his cause. After counting up all of the donations Im PROUD TO SAY that we collected $400.00 and will be donating all of it, this coming week. FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART as the organizer of this event... as a Police Officer... and as a person who always trys to put others first... IM BLOWN AWAY and PROUD to be associated and know all of you. THANK YOU so much for ur generosity!
Each year this event has gotten bigger and better. This year was the first to add a last minute "cause" to it and as far as Im concerned the event was a major success and went off without a hitch (well sort of... till the very end)...
Finally thanku to all those who traveled good distances to support the event... Detroit MI... Deleware... New Jersey Philadelphia (tell me if Im missing anything).
So in conclusion all I can say is... mark off your calendar for Saturday Easter Weekend 2016 for the 4th ANNUAL LTXtech.com DYNO DAY and CAR SHOW!!!!
I will be organizing and posting links... pics...vids... results... etc later, so keep an eye out.

His Department's Police Association is collecting donations for him and as a last minute effort to help... we decided to take all of the donations (usually used to offset the cost of all of the food and refreshments, etc) to go directly to his cause. After counting up all of the donations Im PROUD TO SAY that we collected $400.00 and will be donating all of it, this coming week. FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART as the organizer of this event... as a Police Officer... and as a person who always trys to put others first... IM BLOWN AWAY and PROUD to be associated and know all of you. THANK YOU so much for ur generosity!
Each year this event has gotten bigger and better. This year was the first to add a last minute "cause" to it and as far as Im concerned the event was a major success and went off without a hitch (well sort of... till the very end)...
Finally thanku to all those who traveled good distances to support the event... Detroit MI... Deleware... New Jersey Philadelphia (tell me if Im missing anything).
So in conclusion all I can say is... mark off your calendar for Saturday Easter Weekend 2016 for the 4th ANNUAL LTXtech.com DYNO DAY and CAR SHOW!!!!
I will be organizing and posting links... pics...vids... results... etc later, so keep an eye out.
