You can buy ready made/trailer mounted inertia dynos and I would think making one designed to be stationary into a portable unit would be a huge PIA. I dunno what the price of the portable units are now but back a few years ago when dyno racing was just starting to catch on you could pick up an inertia unit for ~$10k ready to go.

So there is going to be a chassis dyno in Salem huh... Wonder what the first street legal car to peg the 1000ftlb limit will be? (none of that having goober at podunks garage slap an inspection sticker on a race car for a 12 pack bs either)

Looks like it's a little pricey but not too terribly far fetched. $75 for 2 runs..

I'd love to check it out though!

I think those prices are pretty fair. Most shops charge more than that!
