Well everyone, its time for round two and round three. I just recieved an email from Dave Morgan about doing another series of seminars for chassis and suspension. The dates would be as follows.

21 April in Houston location to be determined.

28 April in Ft. Worth at Painless Performance

Classes would start at about 8 a.m. and will end roughly around 6 p.m.

This go around will be put together a little better and better organized as the last one was put together kind of at the last minute. Those who are interested let me know. You can contact me through here or you can email me at [email protected] with any questions.

I also have recieved the first shipment of DVD's of the seminar and they are ready to go out. The cost of the DVD's are $100 ea. for the time being and will be normally listed at $170 in the near future.
