That sounds interesting. It really would be nice to have one's own Dyno-Jet machine wouldn't it. I think they are just accelerometers with data acquisition computers. I wonder what they cost (too much for a hobbyist no doubt). Taking a trip to the dyno and shelling out $$ to test every little mod. does get old pretty quick.

Sorry, I'm not very familiar with the area so I can't help with the park name. Jim
