Have the dyno shop hook a battery charger up to the battery before/while you make a pass.

I will probably be doing it at noon. Before I dyno, the shop has to first dynotune god's own race car; some SCCA somethingclass miata champion's bonermobile. The car is owned/sponsored by the CIO of sheetz who has "spared no expense" on an amazing nat aspirated build. He is flying in some tuner from california just to tune the car tomorrow. :| That should be fairly epic, especially with our cars going on back to back. He may make 200hp and I may make ...295 hp.

High noon it is! I'll think about it, it's like a 2 hour drive minimum for me, 1 way. We'll see.

So I assume you'll get there... and your camera will have low batteries.
