yesterday we had a dyno day... everything was going good until my third dyno run when one of the straps broke and my car spun off the dyno.... thanks to the guy driving, my car escaped with no major damage and nobody got hurt... things could have gone alot worse than it did, if he didnt react fast my car would have hit the wall where 4 people were standing i broke the left rear contol arm and my antenna was bent from where my car hit one of the guys well here is the video

Looks like a case of not properly strapped down to me. Happy the car and everyone is ok.

Adam496 · 04-30-2006, 05:47 PM

I hope that dyno sesion was free lol. I'm glad to see everyone is ok. What kinda numbers did you put down?

TimmahWRX · 04-30-2006, 06:06 PM

wow, that must have been a little bit scary. good to see that everyone is ok.

+1 for hoping that the dyno was free, lol

HatchSurfer3 · 04-30-2006, 06:20 PM

damn, like everyone else said, glad to see everyone and the car are ok. Are they going to fix you're control arm and everything too?

ScoobyNubieToo! · 04-30-2006, 06:37 PM

Vypurr2 · 04-30-2006, 06:38 PM

/end shameless plug

nosuchluck · 04-30-2006, 07:04 PM

my dyno runs were going to be free anyway... i dynoed 263hp 288ftlb kinda low for what i wanted but what ever... the owner of the shop is going to pay for a new control arm and my car is drivable as it is now... i tac welded it in place so it wouldnt move around

teh DIRT · 04-30-2006, 07:14 PM

Owning a dyno I can tell you that you have to have a lot of respect for the types of forces that are in motion there.

I can see from the video that as the car accelerated, the front straps went slack. As they went slack they probably touched something that was moving and burnt. That is why we also do a dry run before we go full tilt.

Also, for your own safety, even if you aren't told by the operator, never stand next to or behind a car on the dyno. People get mad, but I will not allow anyone near the dyno when the thing is in motion, too much chance of someone getting hurt.

Good to hear everyone came out cool.

And I love how the first word everyone EVER reacts with is "****!"

accord_racer90 · 05-01-2006, 12:17 AM

that would have messed some 1s day up

igo4bmx · 05-01-2006, 12:30 AM

just wondering, but why is it strapped from the front?
isn't it pulling forward (strap from the rear)?

or am i too tired right now...

1988 Olds · 05-01-2006, 06:51 AM

Damn man nice to see everything was ok.

krnhaze · 05-01-2006, 07:18 AM

They are strapped from the back too..the straps up front keep it from rocking back off the rollers, no?

Vypurr2 · 05-01-2006, 08:27 AM

You need it strapped in all driections to prevent it from moving on the rollers. Notice that without the front straps, it moves off the rollers!

willthethrill · 05-01-2006, 10:49 AM

Wow i bet that was scary! Did you ruin a pair of pants as well?

eviltalon · 05-01-2006, 11:06 AM

Got Damn, thats some seroius torque and steer

xEJ20x · 05-01-2006, 11:33 AM

Thats a bit too close for my tastes.

I'll be sure to request extra straps for when I dyno my car.
