Our Second Tech Day

Will feature information about Tires and Suspension. You will lean about:
[font=Courier New][size=2]
* all-weather vs summer tires

* what tires work best in the rain? snow?

* what are the plusses & minuses of run-flats?

* why (besides BLING!) do people use different wheels?

* 15" vs 16" vs 17" tradeoffs

* what are these words: caster, camber, roll center and why do I care?

The event will take place on Saturday, January 8 at John's garage. See address information below.

Start time: 10:00 am
Coffee and doughnuts provided.
End time: Learning session ends 12:30 pm - 1:00 pm.
Lunch follows for those who want to join us.

Please RSVP to events@dcmetrominis.org. John can handle just about as large a group as we can throw at him.

Please RSVP by New Years' Day. When you RSVP please give me:

1. # people coming
2. # MINIs coming
3. If you are staying for lunch

Please plan on arriving between 9:30 am to 9:50 am, so we can start right on time at 10:00 am.

Address is:

Glenelg Service Center
2480 Route 97
Glenwood, MD 21738

Phone: 410-489-0230

Bring a chair to sit in as some of the session will be classroom style. (No tests, I promise!) Dress semi-warmly. The garage is heated, but it is a large space to heat and there might be some "cold spots."

LUNCH PLANS
We will have a casual lunch at a neighborhood restaurant called the Lucerna Grill. For those who came last time, this is a nice place, good people and the food tasted great and was reasonably priced.
It is located at 2465 Roxbury Mills Road (MD Route 97) just across the street from Glenelg Service Center. We'll be at tables of 4-6 people. Lunch is order off the menu, pay on your own. They will do checks per table, so come prepared to do a little math.
The menu is attached.

EVENT FEE
Please bring $1.00 per person to help DCMM reimburse John for the coffee and doughnuts. Any money above this amount will go to the treasury to help fund future events.
