JBA welcomed the San Diego Region of the Porsche Club of America to a Tech Session/Dyno Day on Saturday, January 14, 2012. The day started early with donuts, coffee and German engineering winding high on JBA’s Dyno Dynamics chassis dyno. We ran 18 or 19 cars on the dyno…three pulls each to document power-to-weight ratio for an upcoming open track event. In addition to an excellent collection of street and race-only Porsche’s, we dyno’d a BMW M3 and a little American muscle, namely a 2005 GTO and  a 2007 Z06 Corvette. The dyno action only let up long enough for everyone to enjoy barbecued hot dogs, chips and drinks. Hopefully, everyone had a great time. We know the crew at JBA did! Many thanks to Jim and the PCA for a fun dyno day!

Bombin’ turn-out for the January 2012 edition of JBA’s Coffee & Cars! Featuring the most vehicles we’ve ever had at one of our Sunday morning get-togethers, cars overflowed our huge parking area into neighboring lots. Blue skies and burn-outs! Check out the pictures and note the wide range of vehicles, including a 1933 Riley right-hand drive sports car, an early ’50′s Chevy gasser, members of the San Diego Car Enthusiasts Club, a very strong Mopar contingent, new and old GTO’s, Chevelles, Corvettes, Cobras, Mustangs and much more. Thank you to everyone who came out to support the event. See you next month!

So you’re a gearhead and you have enough property for your house, a shop and a long, straight driveway…why not build a concrete burn-out box and launch pad? Then you can throw your own burn-out contests like the one we attended today! Cool cars, cold drinks, tasty barbecue and tire smoke. Just good clean fun! Here’s a BIG THANK YOU to Mike and the Shafters Car Club of Fallbrook. See the pix for more of the story.
