Here are a few snaps that i took today,oddly enough i didnt take one of mine on the rollers,anyone else have any shots?

Best start with a Vette,even though i cut the nose off.


Nice to see a couple of Vipers there to,


A recent viper tests its 8.3 litres


An early C5 running true to form on factory power ratings,

A stock early C4 ,nearly 20 years old and with 155,00 miles on the clock still turning out its factory rated numbers,and not even the slightest hint of blue smoke.


I couldnt understand why this C5 was making as much power at the rear wheels as i was at Flywheel,then i saw this


Loved this Z06 with its power bulge,plus it showed good honest power gains from just some exhaust work,


Another Lovely C5 with its supercharger trying to jump off the rollers,the owner had this hooked up to a laptop and was wisely watching its performance.


Just some of the cars waiting to go around to the dyno while the first few are tested.

Great pics and commentary Cliff - thanks! Anyone got any figures for the day - or is it not etiquette to share them?

Paul - hope you feel better soon.

Woops! with hindsight maybe i should of written them down,but you know what its like when you get talking to other enthusiasts you havent seen all winter,ive got some figures in my head but am not 100% sure of them and dont want to misquote,so if you have your results post them on the "dyno results" thread...my appologies for not doing this..must do this next time.
Thanks Fran.

How about writing a few words for the mag Cliff? I can use the pics you have all posted...

Sounds like it was a good (but cold) day

This might help... You can now join the CCCUK or renew your membership online. We now have a CCCUK online store that makes renewing your membership dead easy... www.corvette-club-merchandise.co.uk/

You can also buy VHR's LeMans shirts through that site and some back-issues of Vette News...
