Dave Morgan Chassis Seminar
Hi All,
I ran across this information while searching for some educattion on chassis setups, and thought it was worth passing along: Dave Morgan Chassis Seminar Here's your chance to improve your racing project and save money. I've expanded the topics to include front suspensions because drag racers are beginning to understand just how important the front suspension is. All the interest has been in the rear suspension so they can hook the car up, but now they realize they have to control the car after the launch. That's when the inter-relationships between the front and rear suspensions come into play. Adding the extra content will be tricky as the seminar is already packed with information. My plan is to tighten-up on the chassis structure presentation and to streamline the shock and spring presentation. This is the 13th winter that I've been offering seminars to the drag racing public. My presentation is designed for older people, those who have not been to school in years. That being said, the seminar is intense so I recommend all students to get a good night's rest before the seminar and have a good breakfast before attending. A long drive before the seminar will only make students tired and then they'll begin to miss parts of the fast-moving seminar. SETUP WORKSHOPS: In selected locations, I'll teach racers how to setup a chassis using actual cars. Racers will get a chance to learn these techniques in a hands-on environment. This is an embrionic program so if you have questions, please call me at 567/242-9779. In the workshops we will... * Establish corner weights with springs and ballast * Locate the Center of Gravity * Map Instant Centers * Square the rearend * Align the front end LOCATIONS, HOSTS AND DATES: (More dates and locations will be added) * Denotes special Set-up Workshop Dallas, Texas: Painless Wiring 817/455-1405 November 22 Denver, Colorado: TC Performance 720/974-0888 January 17-18 * Lebanon, PA: Scott's Transmissions 717/273-9944 January 24 Detroit, MI: Racefab 989/692-7223 January 31 Dayton, Ohio: Kammer & Kammer 937/237-8675 February 7 Lima, Ohio: TBA 567/242-9779 February 14 Columbus, Ohio: TBA 567/242-9779 February 21 Chicago, Illinois: Alston RaceCars 847/395-3500 March 7-8 * Norwalk, Ohio: TBA 567/242-9779 March 14 Indianapolis, Indiana: Joe Barscz Racecraft 317/892-4054 March 21 Newport News, VA.: Williams Perf.

Re: Dave Morgan Chassis Seminar
He released a DVD about 1-2 years ago that I found on dragstuff.com. It was small production as there were sound quality issues and Ithink he was going to try and get that squared away to make a real release you could find through Borders ect. That 5 DVD set is like gold to me!!
Sorry, I will not pirate it.. However, I do try to pass along the knowledge I gained from it in my own words here on this forum.. But, I am no way a replacement for Dave!!
