The road used for the tunes in Reno was carefully chosen. It is a ways north of Reno and located in a desolate area. There is virtually no traffic and the road is strait, smooth, long and very wide. There is an open field to one side and big empty werehouses on the other. About as safe as you can get for a road tune. Also, The road is patrolled by Reno Police. The officer was there on the day of my tune and stopped to talk with us while there was about 5 Subies parked side by side. He knew we were tuning and was making sure we were being safe. He didnt directly watch any "pulls" but was likely watching from afar. He was very cool and gave us Zero hassle because he knew we werent racing each other, there was no alcohol, loud music or any distractions. We were tuning responsibly.
I would much rather have a road tune where I am driving my own car than having it strapped on a dyno. The whole Road Tune experience is a great learning process on many levels. I have heard of cars getting sideways on a dyno, so how much safer is that ? Eds road tuned how many hundreds of cars ? How many accidents ? Not even a single ticket tuning... HMMM Sounds as safe as any other sport to me....
Dont worry SonicSubby the public is safe with ED on the streets !!
