Schedules were whacked last year and we missed 2015, but we are gonna try and move this event to spring time for 2016. Greg's shop is having their dyno day on April 23rd, and we are planning to converge on his place again this year.

The shop:
Champion Ford Reo
3078 West State Route 66
Rockport,In 47635
The hotel we typically use:
Days Inn
3720 New Hartford Rd
Owensboro, Ky 42303
Ph# (270) 684-9621
The schedule is pretty loose. We meet at the shop in the morning, hang out, see a bunch of cool cars, eat, BS most of the day, and plan some evening group activities.
All are welcome, come on out!

Good to see the gang again. Couldn't ask for better weather! Sad that Ed and Mark couldn't make it down.
Prius v made 100.7hp on the dyno with a nearly depleted battery. That's probably more than my '87 3.8 makes. :mullet:

I remember seeing a guy with a 88xr7 bone stock hitting 90 something rwhp at the wheels. He wanted a baseline before the h.o. swap.

I put mine back up as well. No changes since the build a few years ago and still hitting the same numbers :)
Made a couple second gear pulls since it spends most of it's life on autoX courses.
Hopefully Ray will drop by this thread again with some more pics from the weekend. I didn't take many

Hey guys. Sorry, I've been slow in getting the pictures uploaded. I'll get a link to them in a day or so. Including a couple of videos of the Prius making it's epic pull!
