    Saturday Dec. 19th Batlground is having a Dyno Day. This is a CHARITY EVENT. We are having a toy drive for Toys For Tots Atlanta. This is a FIRST COME FIRST SERVE event. We are not setting a specific limit of cars dyno'd. We are gonna go till we can't go no mo'. If you would like to pre-register please come by the shop to drop off the toy, or we can take CC/paypal payment. We will be accepting unwrapped toys in lieu of the standard $30 for 2 pulls. If you do not wish to bring a toy(s) we will still accept the $30 and donate that as well. Dyno runs will start at 10 am, gate opens at 9 am. All spectators are free as always, but don't let that stop you from bringing something.

    We will have a grill and there will be SOME food provided, basic stuff burgers, dogs, chicken. Feel free to bring your own. We will cook it on up for you.

    Everyone knows how tough it has been over the last year and a half. I thought this would be a great way to help less fortunate kids. If you are interested and can help this cause, please respond to this post, pm, or email me. batlbrandon@gmail.com

    Anyone interested in helping the day of the event, that would be greatly appreciated as well. again post, pm, or email me. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THIS IS FOR CHARITY, don't skimp out on a gift for a less fortunate kid. Thanks again everyone, look forward to seeing you. Brandon @ Batlground. If you cannot make it out please visit the Toys For Tots website for instructions on how to donate. http://www.toysfortots.org/donate/toys.asp

    I'll have to get on this to see if my motor has loosened up and picked up any power over the last 20K miles.

    I'm guessing the toys should be in the ballpark of $30? And is there any specific age group we should cater to with the toys?

    AWWWW so sad! :rofl: Have fun out there. I will have to ask Brandon about the age range since he set it all up, but I think any age range works. All kids need toys.

    I think $30 dollars in toys should be fine, no specific age group I don't think.

    I am trying to leave it up to the donator rather than ask for a specific amount spent. Just use good judgment. As far as age, there is not a specific age group that is targeted. All donations get separated by Toys For Tots. Thanks everyone! This is going to be awesome!

    Come on Doug, you are invited and I'm sure everyone would love to see you down here. Bring that HTA car with you. Brandon and I were going to come to the Scavenger hunt but we couldn't get it together in time.

    Yes, you can bring a toy the day of. In fact, I suspect that is what most people will be doing since no one has come to drop anything off yet. Like we stated in the OP, first come first serve.

    It looks as though there will be a lot of people showing up for the dyno day this Saturday. As some of you know, we have limited parking. We have spoken with our 2 neighbors on either side of our building, Alicia's grocery and Jeff's Automotive Rest.(in the blue building). They have allowed us to use their lots for the day. I am asking that you please respect their property and do not leave behind trash.

    It is especially important that if you park at Jeff's that you DO NOT RUN OVER THE BUSHES TO GET OUT. It happens every time and he gets upset with us about it. If someone has blocked you in, please come find me or someone else from BG and we will help to find the owner of the car with the bull horn.

    Thank you and we look forward to seeing everyone there!

    No age limit on toys, nothing is too young and nothing is too old. We are talking about kids here! Thanks everyone.
