I am currently talking to Dave Morgan (author of Door Slammers) about coming to Texas and teaching a class or two on chassis set ups and suspension set up. If you are interested in this email me at [email protected] and I will add you to the list and as soon as I have dates and cost for the classes I will contact you. If you could please email me and let me know if you would rather attend the class in Houston or in Ft. Worth and your phone # that would be great. The last class that he did here was about $80 per person.

Would this class be offered in video

That would be very cool for a lot of people out of the area.
 
Mike that question has been brought up and I am going to ask about it. I do know that Dave does have a video and I will ask him about the price of it and how to order it and let you know. Sorry that isn't airfare included.

Well I just sent an email to Dave Morgan about holding the Houston class on the 21st of April. So just waiting to see his response. This isn't easy to set up since I am trying to run two classes in totally different locations.
 
UPDATE:

Ok it is on. Here is the info for the class. I will be taking emails and I will send emails for the class. Dates are as follows.

Houston, Tx. April 21st will be held at The College of the Main land in Texas City.

Ft. Worth, Tx. May 5th at Painless Performace.

Both classes will start at 9 a.m. and end at 6 p.m. There will be a break for lunch.

The cost of the class will be $85 a person if you prepay and register and it will be $90 a person at the door. This class will be about 9 hours. I will be accepting checks or money orders and cash is always the best. If you need and address to send registration to send an email to [email protected] and I will send you the information. When sending payment or verification of the class let me know how many people will be coming with you and which location you will be attending. This way I can build a roster and make sure that I have you down as paid or still owing. If you register and cannot attend please try to let me know before the class if at all possible. If you have any questions feel free to email me and I will respond as quick as possible. Thank you and stay tuned!
