Technical Sessions

The return of the Tech Academy! Come take "classes", get "credits," and earn your "diploma."  Sessions will be a mixture of hands-on, lecture and demonstration.

We might even have a Concours Judging school, as well as sponsor seminars, such as: "All about engine oil" or  a Q/A session on the latest tires for sports cars.
