R/T Tuning held a benefit dyno day on March 26th for a fellow board member who has been down on his luck, being involved in a very serious accident some time ago. The event had a great turnout and approximately $7,000 dollars was raised in the benefit of Mike!
Aaron’s white EK hatch may look familiar to you, as we featured it a year or so ago. It’s now gotten the bigger turbo treatment and put down the tune of 402whp!
This is what a Miata SHOULD look like! This turbocharged, full SCCA-prepped race car was an awesome sight to see for many people, putting down 180whp+ in a chassis that weighs nothing.
With the addition of the new AWD Mustang dyno in the SpeedLocker warehouse, there was a great all-wheel-drive turnout for the event. There were EVO’s, WRX’s, and BMW’s all putting down big numbers.
With sponsors such as Rockstar Energy Drink and Turn 14 donating product for raffles and giveaways, there was also an auction for local restaurant gift cards, with all proceeds going to Mike and his family.
Check out this teaser of some footage that we’ll be throwing up on the site soon!
All in all, the event had a great turnout and was extremely successful in raising money for Mike’s benefit. A great time was had by all!
