It was quite an off the cuff idea, but I imagined it to be similar to a dyno power run day. The same thing could be done with proper corner weight scales and also suspension sessions on a Hunter or manual set up rig. (assuming a good venue can be found). Everyone pre books, so the day is a combined club meet and each car has a session booked on each. Budget say 30 minute slots for a hunter to set up and get a cars settings dialed in. Corner weights could be done separately but they will take less than 10 minutes a car so easily fitted in too. We would need a professional garage with the equipment and operator for event but they could make a nice return from fitting so many cars in one day, and meet a lot of new potential return customers, so it would be in their interest to offer us a good rate.dynamix wrote:Just picking up on one of the ideas ...Car Set up - how would you suppose that we handle that with regards to the varying makes/models of cars that people have? (i like the sound of this)
We regularly have weigh-bridge and noise test at our monthly meets. These have proved very useful.
Varying makes and models wouldn't really matter as long as the owner knows what settings he wants (either from personal preference or what the his service manual says) and we have at least one knowledgeable person to advise where the owner isn't sure.
We can combine a meet along with also improving our cars at a discount price. Also unlike a power run day which has never really appealed to me, everyones car leaves better than it arrived.
