DYNOMAX® POWER TO THE WHEELS COMPETITION RETURNS FOR SECOND YEAR
Company Sends Popular Dyno Tour Series on Second Circuit, Adds Opportunity for Enthusiasts to Win with New Class Structure
After seven competitors wrote horsepower history in its inaugural ‘07 Dyno Tour Championship, DynoMax Performance Exhaust plans to continue the popular DynoMax “Power to the Wheels” series in 2008. DynoMax also plans to launch two new classes this year, including Power Adder and All Motor. DynoMax is the performance exhaust brand of Tenneco Inc. (NYSE: TEN).
“DynoMax created the tour as a way to prove that our mufflers play an important part in adding horsepower, particularly with high-output engines,” said DynoMax Brand Manager Beth Mooney. “After we dyno tested over 400 cars, we found great potential in the 600 to 800 horsepower range and created the All Motor class.”
The DynoMax “Power to the Wheels” Dyno Tour, sponsored and managed by DynoMax, was created to test the horsepower and torque of muscle cars outfitted with DynoMax or Thrush exhaust systems and headers.
“There’s just no better platform for showing enthusiasts the performance benefits of adding a performance exhaust system or muffler,” Mooney said. “We had to bring it back for 2008!”
DynoMax will award first- and second-place winners of each class at each of the events. The daily first- and second-place event winners will be entered into a national ranking for a chance to compete at the Championship Shootout at Street Machine Nationals, Springfield, Mo., in September.
To win, entrants must use a DynoMax or Thrush exhaust system and/or muffler at the time of the dyno run. DynoMax will award daily champions in two classes: the Power Adder class for those vehicles running superchargers, turbochargers or nitrous, and the All Motor class for those vehicles running without a power adder.
Competitors are required to make two back-to-back dyno runs. The winner is based on peak horsepower from the best of two runs for the daily contest. Entrants who do not have DynoMax products can still dyno but are not eligible for the competition and are subject to a dyno fee ($75).
