the RR in that pic is an inertia style dyno (big heavy rollers) these tend to be a bit more of a problem with cars that like to wander.

try finding someone with a proper dyno such as a dyno dynamics or newish Maha dyno. these have lightweight hollow rollers that can lessen the wandering affect. also a traction cradle fitted while its on the rollers will stop it wandering. these are used as standard with dyno dynamics RR.

so do you think i could run on the ones on the south east meet in november?

also the camber is worse on one side, and the wheel is about 20mm back too!

it wont run on any dyno 100% if its bent but some will be better than others. I can find you details of a Dyno Dynamics rolling road in your area if you like?
