Winter Tech Seminar 2010

Any news on a tech seminar for 2010? I really enjoyed last years trip, just wondered if there were any plans for one this winter. If there is, I need to get it penciled in.

update

2010 Evans Racing Engines Winter Tech Seminar. All gear heads and even non-gear heads are welcome!

As before, an all star group of guest speakers will be on hand to answer any and all questions before and after their presentation along with various vendor displays. I will video the tech seminar for those that can not make the trip; DVDs will be available ASAP. I’ll have other DVDs with me if you want to pick up a copy while you are there i.e. The previous tech seminars and BBF Bash DVDs.

I’ve created a spreadsheet in order to track the number of attendees. So this is what I need from you guys. If you will be attending the 2010 Evans Racing Engines Winter Tech Seminar, please let me know your name, how many people will be attending in your group, including yourself. What’s your screen name and will you be paying at the Seminar or Pre-Register in advance. We need a fairly accurate number in order to guesstimate the number of folks that will be eating lunch in the cafeteria on Saturday.

Pre-Registration funds ($20 each person) can be sent to my paypal address or mailed to my home address. BE SURE to list in the subject line “2010 Evans Racing Engines Winter Tech Seminar” or something like that because I’m also receiving funds for other items like the Chuckathon (Help Chuck rebuild his car). Speaking of the Chuckathon, some of you guys are donating parts to Chuck’s rebuild and you can bring them to the Tech Seminar if applicable, save on shipping etc…

Please contact me via e-mail or PM for My Paypal address and My home address






Quoted from Charlie on the BBF Forum…

Hey guys,

I spent the better part of the day Monday at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (aka University) firming up our plans. It will be Saturday Jan 16, 2010 and it starts at 8:00 central time/9:00 Eastern Time. This is a firm date! It will be held in Hatfield Hall, which is the first building on the right when you enter the main entrance to the campus. You will see signs directing you.

Terre Haute, IN is one hour west of Indy on I-70. There are two exits into town, exit 4 and exit 11. Take exit 11 on to state Hwy 46, and go north on it about 4 miles until it "T"s into U.S. Hwy 40. Turn right (east) on to U.S. Hwy 40 and go about one block and take the first driveway on your left, which is the main entrance to the campus. Look over to your right and go to that building which is Hatfield Hall. This auditorium seats about 1500 people.

For those of you flying in. Craig Sullivan suggested flying in to Weir-Cook Airport at Indy, which is on the west side of Indy, and then getting a rental car and driving one hour west to Terre Haute. That's probably the best suggestion, however do be advised that Terre Haute has a small airport, Hulman Field, and it does have commuter flights I think.

Meanwhile, back to exit 4. This is the exit where I-70 crosses U.S. Hwy 41. The Texas Roadhouse is at this exit and we will meet there Friday night for our get together meal, pretty much the same as last year. The Texas Roadhouse is at the corner of Margaret Ave. and U.S. Hwy 41, just right there at exit 4.

Darin Morgan has agreed to be one of our guest speakers and he will talk about cylinder heads. He has also said he'll have a new fully machined NHRA FORD Pro Stock head there on display.

I am still working on our host hotel and the special room rates.

We will have college engineering students from both Rose-Hulman and Indiana State University there in attendance with us hard core racers, so I'm asking that we be professional, which I know we will.

We're charging $20 per person this year, which I know is double what we charged last year, however we're are providing lunch, which will be there in the campus cafeteria. The meal will be smorgasbord style and you can choose whatever you want to eat. I ate lunch there Monday and they had very good food.

I would like for us to pre-register, (but I still need to set that up with President Damon Sea) in order to get a head count on how many people the food service will need to provide meals for.

Thanks,


Charlie Evans

I don't think they'll let us bring our pets into a HOOTERS, so Coug will have to wait in the car.

Can't leave Coug "P.I." in the car he'll pee on the seats.......

I seen that, Rick, thought I'd bump it to the top...

Hey guys,

We'll try to do another Winter Tech Seminar. The tenative date is Saturday Jan. 16th, 2010

The tenative location will be at Rose Hulman University in Terre Haute, IN. We'll do it in conjunction with some engineering students from the university, and will be their quests on campus that day. I'm working on the host hotel being the Holiday Inn. For those of you who want to fly in, Craig Sullivan suggested the best way to do it was, to fly into Indianapolis and rent a car and drive one hour west of Indy on I-70 to Terre Haute.

The university and I have something very nice in store for our quest speakers, and the focus will be on hardcore racing and engine building. Dr. Allan White and the other mechanical engineering professors, are looking forward to having us. We need a big turn-out for this guys!

I'll put it on the calendar Charlie. How's about getting TFS to bring some of their new intakes..lol

What is the cost to attend the Tech Seminar?

Last year we charged $10 per person, and lunch was on your own. The problem was, a one hour lunch break, turned into about 1.5 hrs after everybody trickled back in. This year I want to go $20 per person and lunch will be there in the campus cafeteria, and/or catered by the food service division of Rose Hulman. That way we can maintain a shorter lunch break, and get back on task. I hope you understand.

Thanks,
Charlie Evans

Charlie, that sounds like a bargin!! The amount of info that is shared is worth many times that I'm sure.

We're gonna have to put some blinders on the Coug by the sounds of things!!

Sure hope to make it!!

Bill

And I'm sure there's a Texas Roadhouse to terrorize near by.. lol

I've got it on my calendar already. Terra Haute is a LOT closer to me than Evansville is,

Outstanding! Someone bring a log chain so we can leash the Coug to a nearby Telephone pole

Damon one thing for sure is the Clown paint will be there incase someone passes out at the Bar..... you never know what Albert might have to post up on here.....

So tip to the weary Never Ever Ever pass out at the bar while us Crazyyyyyyyy big block ford guy's are around.......



Randy

Oh NO you didn't!

That date is perfect Charlie, I'm off work that weekend We will be there for sure.

Count me in too Uncle Charlie. Hope to see more of the guys there this year, and have just as much fun. Damon, I'll try to find a big enough log chain for the Bad Kitty so we can keep him out of trouble.
