Ideas for a MN Charity Dyno Day

11253hp Was the grand HP total this year. How can we use this to our advantage? Say $5 per truck dyno'ed goes to xxxx Charity? That seems kind of small. $150 would be nice, but not "worth" the trouble. I'd like to find a way to get more people, and give more the community. Say $75 per dyno run and $25 goes to charity? That's a bit more like it. But in the eyes of the community still small money at $750

What Charity? St Judes is local, and would possibly get Radio coverage as well as a possible "bump" from them. K102 has in the past doubled the donation that has been raised.

The other thought being....This could get much bigger than it already is should we get the community involved. This could also make or break the immage of Diesels in the communitys eyes.

So guys....What suggestions do you have? I have never done anything like this before. I'd love to see this grow into a huge multi-event weekend. Obviously this would be an undertaking, but well worth it.

Who's in with me?
