Are the dynamometers humming?
 
How my racers are spending time on the dynos during the down time of actual racing?

Being I live in Ohio and I'm not an "essential" business... my dyno hasn't made any noise since the 24th of March. I have been working everyday by myself and I will use the "auto repair" clause if they come knocking at my door, but I don't think running the dyno at this time is worth the headache it may cause later.
My customers understand this. We all want to be able to race at a later date! We already know some that wont be able to.
Stay safe

Same here in Illinios. The Dyno is quiet, but doing work safely behind closed doors. No customers allowed.
Stay safe all!

NY-NJ Metropolitan area is high risk so we are staying home.Backed up on engine assembly and dyno testing.Better to retreat and live to fight another battle.Bill C.

I could talk oil pans with you but, I'm sure your more comfortable talking/ behind this. Did you ever get that Camaro to leave? Asking for a friend.....

Nice try,....I sit behind an industrial Consew 226 machine....nothing like the one pictured.....My sewing machine and your Dyno have a lot in common,....neither has EVER made a pass down the drag strip....Our mutual friend YAC could fill you in on my 60 foot times....Regards.....

Harold did come by often before the "Wuhan Virus" and I always look forward to Harold coming around. To answer your question, when I first got the dyno many years ago I had Harold go through the calibration process, and over the years he has done independent reports for different engine projects I've done as for verifying HP & TQ. I have since gotten proficient at the calibration process myself. Harold also has gone through my flow benches before. I really like bouncing my ideas off Harold, he's a real gearhead, he's the best! Infact I think I'am going to see him today. And Harold feel free to tell this poster how I keep my dyno..........
