One thing we may want to consider as a club is a tech / install day

I'd be fun to show people for example, how to do their brakes ... that's an easy job, and would save some nice coin

Or install an air intake, exhaust, etc

Those who are in need of brake work can sign up in advance, and the "know how" circulate around and help them help themselves

Any interest or the club has done this b4?

I did this a lot when I lived back home. These days are actually a lot of fun, and a great way to get to know people.

Wait, you're one of those people that actually MOVED to St Louis from somewhere else? I've heard about it, but never met anyone of your type before

just kiddin' but since you have experience with install days, I believe you just volunteer'd to help, correct?

Whoa ... did I mention I bake brownies too? This would be huge ... able to volunteer use of your facility? Is there also enough pavement to have a couple other cars up on jackstands? What general area do you live and is it a match for the club's geograhics? Why is the sky blue

It is the best, safest and most enjoyable way to learn ... the idea is to have the know how and any specialized tools available for a bunch of people to make use of

So ... 3 "yes's" above make a bonafide event

If we have a place, then just need to pick a date and solicit for some "wrenchie types" to assist those attending

I stated that only b/c I've yet to see an event like this take place in the 3, almost 4 years of living here now. :shrugs:

I guess I volunteered myself. My schedule is a little hectic and odd, but if I find time, I have parts needing to be put on myself...so why not?

They have alot of install days on the S2ki board but not many other boards I am on do.... I think this will be an awesome idea.

I'm sure we can behave appropriately and not tear up your new house, as well as take action with anyone that doesn't want to be responsible. Location & resources (esp a lift) are critical ... help me out with the location part ... Cuddlyville is located where & how far?
