914World.com _ 914World Garage _ SoCal Tech Session... SUN MAR 6th

Posted by: Brando Feb 22 2005, 08:42 PM

Coming Sunday March 6th, Manny and Bud from Bud's Tire Pros are going to have an open-shop tech session. They're hoping to get between 25 and 40 people involved (PCA Riverside Region helped organize it). So far here's what's on the agenda:

- 11:00AM - Event starts
- Speaker from Michelin tires will be present to answer all questions.
- Tech session about tire, wheel and suspension setups for different applications.
- Raffle/lottery for $500 worth of tires to the winner.
- Get to see how alignment on a Porsche is generally done.
- Mix and match, test and try out tires (don't know if this is for most everyone or only a few participants).
- Free food!
- No entry fee!

For more info, feel free to contact Manny: 951-351-1319. Their shop is located on Monroe and Indiana Ave in Riverside. (8651 Indiana Ave, Riverside CA 92504). It's supposed to be a good fun event, all are welcome. If you do call Manny, make sure you let him know you heard about it from either the PCA or 914 Club. Hope to see some of you there. I can also try to answer some of your questions, but calling is best.

we had a guy from Michelin come and talk to our Region last year, at the introduction of the Pilot Sport 2. they sounded like good tires but i lost interest when he said they'd be available only in Monster Truck sizes (18" and larger).

Tomorrow at 11:00 AM.

Remember... Free food, door prizes, and raffling a set of tires (Falken Azenis I think).

I have a lot to do yet but I think I will drive out there for this. I am a PCA member after all. I dont think they will be giving a set of Falkens away if it is being sponsored by Michelin. That just doesnt sound right.

Ok, I am now unable to make it tomorrow. I wish I could but things have come up that prevent my attending. Maybe next time.
