2nd Annual New England Dyno Hard Luck Award!

Yes folks its time to vote for the winner of the 2nd Annual New England Dyno and Tuning Hard Luck Award! Who had the worst time with their car over the past season? As most of you know last years contest was a runaway with our favorite Jayman350 taking the honors!
Well its time to post your recommendations for this years winner. After reading the many posts over the year it looks like we will have many nominees. I will review all the posts with my team and we will announce a winner by the end of the month!
Prizes are yet to be determined but they will include a free pass to the 1st F-Body Dyno Day of 2003!

Dean,

I've only started posting in the forums since so many people showed up at your dyno day that I didn't know.... As it is I still post most of my woes on the 4th gen list. Does that count? I could forward you the relevant posts. I think I have a real shot. I'm hoping - maybe - that I can get some idea of where my coolant smell is coming from when I'm on the dyno this weekend.

hmmmm NOPE, sorry Joe but this is like bigtime problems we are talking about. My hellacious journey was documented and I have it on my website if you are at all interested

my vote is going to Marc because of the fact that his beast should have been done and ripping up the streets for a while.... but we all know how that goes...... John is a close second with his 396/398/40whatever its going to be once he's done rebuilding it


oh and you might want to put a little disclaimer on this award Dean, when I took the rollers for my free dyno run I ended up breaking my 3rd transmission and only got to make one lousy pull Maybe by next years first dyno day I can blow up the t-5 on the rollers and then we can all pool our money so I can buy myself a t-56

Jay I read your story, yeah that is some bad luck. Who is your friend's day? I work on Hanscom and I visit the auto hobby shop. As a matter of fact my car failed inspection there and I am due to go back next week.....

my friend's Dad is Ed, the manager. I have been friends with Matty, Tom, and Carrie for a long time as well, I used to be over in the hobby shop all the time but now with school and no money to play with my car I'm there less and less.

My vote goes to Marc also. He's only been able to sit in his car and go vroom vroom for over a year! And every time it seems like his car will finally show it's raw power, something else goes wrong.
