In Daytona Florida. I drove to my Dads house Firday evening 1.5 hour drive.



I get up at 6:00 Saturday Morning and drive another 1.5 hours to Daytona to the Turkey Rod Run. Its a giant domestic classic car show / swap meet. The whole infield of Daytona is full of cars and parts.



I look all around outside the venue - No Castrol dyno



I pay the $12 admission look around the entire infield - No Castrol Dyno



They were not there. I drove over 200 miles to go to it and they are not there. Their website says they were there .



I asked all the rednecks running all the information booths there. No one knew a thing. I asked the poeple in charge of the vendor displays no one knew anything.



I had to buy a case of Castrol Syntec and provide a reciept in order to enter the contest. I am returning their oil on Monday and getting my money back.



I am also trying to find an e-mail address for Castrol to tell them how pissed I am and how far I drove and how much money I wasted to go to their contest that was not there.



No wonder the HP is so low on their leader board. I wonder if they continued past July with this contest.



Here is a link for their website if you want to see for yourself.

Just think you should have been on the leader board and have $1000 in your pocket!

I was all set to win that $1000 too. I had done some tuning and turned the boost up to 1.5 bar. It was 40°-50° out Saturday Morning. This was going to be a nice HP pull one to change my sig with.





They better make good on this for me.

Thats ridiculous. I hate when stuff like that happens and the people responsible for that have no excuse. It's not that hard to just update the website with the tiny change. At least my crappy local dragstrip has the decent to let you know they cancel an event on their website if only half a day before.
