David Vizard go fast seminar! Yeah baby, you heard that right. I was up at Myron Cottrell’s high performance engine shop called TPIS that it is located in the outskirts of Chaska, MN. Let me first say…………..wow what a nice facility Myron and his men have created. He’s has been in this facility since 1977 and his many accomplishments in the racing world are outstanding to say the least. Myron and his crew have been designing and manufacturing headers, camshafts, intake manifolds as well as championship winning EFI calibrators for over 20 years and a fine job they do at that!
But hey, I want to also talk about why I am here. David Vizard’s “How To Build Horsepower” seminar. Now this event cost money to attend and I was impressed that about 65 go-fast engine builders from as far away as Texas choose to attend this two day event of highly involved technology and David’s delivery of how air flows though the engine and why.
David Vizard’s ability to break this high tech information down to something even I can understand is pretty amazing. I thought for sure this seminar would be way over my head as most you would probably guess. But I actually learned a bunch of stuff and I hope to be able to apply it in the many conversations I have with you as I travel around this big country of ours. The delivery was great and attendees must have asked a hundred questions and I know everyone came away with something they could put to use right away when they got back to the shop. After the first day came the “evening session” where a very relaxed atmosphere allowed even more one on one time with David, with questions, questions, and more questions. David did a great job in answering all of those questions to boot. I was surprised by how much energy this guy has! He talked all day and into the night and never got tired? I gotta get me some of that!
Goodson did a whole lot of promotion to ensure a good turnout for this event and I am glad we did! We even had the cost reduced so it would be more affordable. Normally this event would cost $550.00 we got it down to only $350.00. 16 hours of full blown training. Seeing all of these engine builders in a non-trade show setting made the cost and effort worthwhile.
I even brought Jim Tapp and Erik Shepard from our Technical Service Department to this event. I know Jim got a great review and Erik got a brand new take to some of the airflow aspects from David Vizard. I know the attendees got a lot out of this event. The words and comments I heard were very positive. I believe everyone got a whole lot more than they expected by attending this event. Stay tuned as there are more of these types of go fast high performance seminars, in the near future.
See ya on the web!
