Mini OcUK Rolling Road Day: Powerstation Saturday 22nd January!

50 quid for 10 minutes work?

lol?

If that! Especially if the owner is operating the dyno. He couldn't get my car off the dyno quick enough when I paid the full price for a power run!

Power runs are generally silly expensive unfortunately.

It is a bit lol but I imagine the price elasticity of something like this to be very low, both because of the nature of the service and the sort-of preference most people have to keep going back to the same place (evidence: OcUK). It's probably easier to charge fewer customers more. If it was £30 I'd doubt they'd see the increase in customers to cover the costs of operating the equipment that many more time.

Its certainly a bit of a luxury service so they can charge that bit more I guess. normally I pay £40/45 for 3 runs, do they literally only run it up the once or do they do it a couple times to get an average?

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

Powerstation tend to only do 1 run unless requested otherwise. Never seen an average reading from them but I stand to be corrected.

 

[Rich1988]

wow, that is expensive then, doesnt take much just to run it twice rather than once

 

[agw_01]

PS seem quite happy to run more than once if you ask.

The first I ran, they ran it 3 times because it kept hitting boost cut.

The Mustang used to take several attempts to just get one readout.

Might be able to make this and would like to do a run to see what difference the remap makes on the powerstation rollers.

Can you pencil me and I will confirm asap, just waiting to hear back from a friend that is supposed to be staying over at mine this weekend, but looks like he isn't going to make it now.

 

[Rich1988]

*edit* I have been asked to work friday night, I should be back by about 3am if so I'll still be coming, if its much later I might have to cry off

 

[TomO]

I will be attending and running.

Rich - get your ass up on saturday as well as your brothers! Haven't seen him in ages!

 

[Gibbo]

Hi there

Booked this today and told them to expect at least 4-5 runners which they are fine with.

Please remember its £50 cash and to be bring the right money and our usual very helpful Andy shall be there.

Looking forward to meeting you all this weekend, it may only be a mini meet but am sure it will be fun.

Be good to see you and I think most of us are going the pub afterwards too, so bring your camera.

 

[Lum]

I might come to spectate, depends if I can be bothered to get up at 9 on a Saturday.

I'll be bringing the Cefiro if I do turn up.

 

[Tute]

I'm a maybe to spectate, but I don't think i'll run.

I'll confirm tomorrow if i'm coming.

Ahh, cash. The universal way to ensure that the tax man gets his cut from this piece of Saturday work.
