Default Suspension and tuning school. (advanced)

I've been requested several times to hold a suspension setup and tuning school. we will address tuning methods, Theory, and application. we will put one students car on the lift and apply what we've learned. and that student will get his car setup for free. I'd prefer to not spend too much time on vocabulary or driving. there is a time and a place for that. However I can also address other tuning aspects if we have time.

Expect to learn about diffrent suspensions designs. their application, and some more advanced concepts.

Please respond here if you want to attend. I'm planing on next Tuesday 2-10-09 from 6-9pm or later if we get into it. I'll need a minimum of 10 interested parties.

School will be held at 1st Place Engineering 4011 21st avenue east Tampa. 33606

Thanks, Jeff.

I figure $10 donation to cover food, but I did not plan on charging.

Treekiller,
You and I have similar backgrounds and agree on several things as to how suspensions are set up. To show support, I will put in my $10. Looks like I am the first to sign up.

and to put your mind at ease, it will be your school,
your location, and someone else's car............we won't look
under my car, and out of respect I won't interfere with what you have to say.....-Bob

I want people to get familiar with my new shop. I find bringing people in, letting them see some of the work I do, and It's great for the local racers that want a little more in-depth understanding.

Plus times are tough for everybody and I felt a little giving back is the right thing to do now.

depending on when it is I might be able to make it. I would also like to bounce some ideas off your head about possible shock dyno work coming up very soon

Blue 2k, I'm sure this will be basic for you. but It'll be nice to have an extra person to help answer the more difficult questions.

Treekiller,

It may be, but I am just delving into the intricacies of suspension setup and design as of this year. All that I can absorb the better ya know

this still on?

I'm interested, but I'm by far not advanced when it comes to suspension knowledge. I get the general gist of it just by what I've been able to read.
Is this gonna be too far over my head?
