MATS – Mopar’s At the Strip 2008

My pictures are up, this year I shot in mostly RAW and spent about 2 hours in post processing, mostly experimenting.

This year was great! DynoMax was there with the dyno and I was able to get three runs in (two for me, one of my dad).  At the DynoMax Power to the Wheels dyno I witnessed a (roughly) 10% increase in horsepower and torque from last year’s self-destructing engine!

We stayed at Circus Circus this year and were satisfied with the room.  We were put into the Manor, actually the very farthest room from the main Circus Circus building.  Literally, the farthest possible, but the room was big and everything worked (mostly, shower drained slowly).

That’s all for now ^_^
