*Venom Performance will be hosting a Dyno Day on May 23rd for anyone wanting to dial in their Venom Exhaust! This offer is open to anyone running a Venom Exhaust, as the purpose of this event is to ensure correct a/f ratio's of quads running this system. This will be done on John's Dynojet roller dyno incorporating a wideband O2 sensor.
We will also be grilling out over the course of the day, with a bonfire in the evening! For those of you wanting some more excitement, there is also a TT track located on the premises for anyone wanting to show off their track prowess! Bring your riding gear!!
The dyno tuning will begin at 9:00 AM and end at ???. Camping is available on site for anyone wanting to stay and throw back a couple of cold ones. Personally, I'd be more than happy to share a couple of Top Shelf Keystone Light's if you dare, lol.
*The Venom Performance 2nd Annual Track Day will be held the following day, Sunday May 24th at Bob's Family Raceway. What's better than getting a little drag racing in right after being dyno tuned?!?! We had a great time last year, and hope to make this year's event even better!
The track will be open from 9AM-3PM, the same as last year. Courtesy of Venom Performance...

Hey Steph-
It probably just depends on what time it is. I know John just doesn't like to ruffle his neighbor's feathers with making dyno pulls late at night. I'm sure 7-8 pm probably wouldn't be a problem, but I'd just want to double check with him first. I'll let ya know. Plus, maybe if John invites the neighbors over to the bonfire that night, we could get away with a couple of later dyno pulls, lol.
Anyways, what's a "normal" time that people leave WMSD after a Saturday race? I realize it all depends on how many rounds you go, but what time do people leave that get beat 1st rd, and what time does the final round normally end?
Later- Kris

List of attendees so far:
Witti (Chuck)- both days
BigBlock10 (Derek)- both days
Steph and Nick- probable
NHRAdragracer- (3) both days
SweetWilliam- both days
BTW- Derek, you are correct. We need to work on figuring out what to do for food, etc.
Basically, I would think it would be easier if everyone brought their own beverages.
After that, I'll volunteer to take care of brats, burgers, etc ( at least for 1 day). I might even bring my smoker grill
up and do some of KS3 Racing's "famous" smoked BBQ country style ribs... After that, I'm guessing a pitch in like we did last
year at the track would work the best. I'll work on that...

Kris,count me in! Think I'll plan on spending Saturday night there too. And I'll help out with getting bikes on and off the dyno. And I'll bring food to help out as well. Can't wait! And I think Rick Roehm will be there too so count him in.

well I can tell you is this Chris, with the sweet work you do for me, combined with Johns great work, Kammon Grays steady stream of trick parts, and Stoners ability to catch my mistakes as we tune, we have a good chance.
BTW, that carb you just did is so freagin nice man I dont know If I want to run oxy fuel through it...lol
I am goin to bring everyone the best sandwich meat you ever tasted! You can only get it here in the Jersey/New York area. Straight from the mafia. Its actually meat from people we dont like that need to go bye bye....but its seasoned just perfect....shhhh dont tell anyone about that though..........

John said people could camp there. Sleep in truck, bring a tent, or under the stars. Not sure how far it is to the nearest hotel.

LOL... I do have one thing in my defense... the back brake was never pumped back up after the rebuild.... so with that bit of info I think I should get to skip the 200x and move up to the 300ex

There is a small hotel in Williamston, just a couple miles away called The Acorn. Probably have better luck 5 miles west on I96 in Okemos, right off the highway there is several larger hotels. I know Comfort Inn, Holiday inn Express and one or two others are right there. Easy on highway from John's place and easy of in Okemos.

The dyno day is actually Saturday, not Friday. I'm 99% sure John will have pipes for sale at the event, but you might want to call Tress at Venom to be sure.
At this time, Venom does not offer dyno tuning services except for special events like this one, and R&D purposes.

Just thought of something yesterday that I thought I'd bring up.
I know most if not all of ya who are coming already know this, but just in case.
Please make sure your quad is clean! It doesn't have to be showroom spotless or anything, but please make sure there aren't any clods of mud hanging from it, oil caked on the engine, etc. It will help keep the dyno cleaner, and ya won't get as grimy while changing jets. Also, clean the chain if possible and have it properly adjusted. Doing this stuff in advance will just help things move along more smoothly during the day. You can get it dirty again on the tt track after you've been on the dyno!
Also, KS3 Racing will be handling all of the grill needs, at least on Saturday. We'll be doing BBQ country style ribs on the smoker grill, and brats/burgers on the regular grill. If anyone is willing to bring side dishes, it would be greatly appreciated. Please post in here if you are willing to bring something.
Thanks, Kris
